You know, I know that bcrypt is the cool new thing, but I don't think it's really that irresponsible, and certainly not completely irresponsible, to use a hashing scheme with a huge salt. I understand that bcrypt is super slow and therefore super awesome since the bad guy will have to sit around longer to decrypt your whole database, but maybe we should be a bit more careful with things that are termed "completely irresponsible". Something may be adequate and not be the best option, and something may be inadequate but not be "completely irresponsible".

For an example of complete and wanton irresponsibility, see Plenty of Fish.

> Cold turkey could be hard. Try transitioning slowly

Aim for reducetarian and go with the flow. Experiment, and think in terms of possibilities; not limitations. That being said, artificial restrictions can aid as extrinsic motivation, stimulating you to experiment. It could also lead you to conclude that it is too <fill in> (e.g. boring), thereby giving up, while the reason is that you did not put in enough thought, time, and -ultimately- effort.

For no particular specific good reason (apart from having lived as full-time vegetarian for ~10 years, vegan ~2 years and reducetarian for another ~10) I can recommend the book Plenty by Yotam Ottolenghi. [1]
