Food The Vegan Thread
- Thread starter Amstel
- Start date
I definitely feel you on that. I actually really enjoy tofu and seitan and tempeh, if they're done right, but only a few things work for me as "substitutes," I add them because I like them, not to poorly reproduce something I feel like I'm lacking/missing. but In know not everyone likes those things, and I can understand how it'd be frustrating since so many places make stuff vegan bybreplacing the regular protein with a vegan protein that often falls flat in taste and/or texture (they're lazy and like idk throw some soy in it)
I'm not giving up eggs. I do have maybe one a day on some 2,694 grain dry toast. But meat, all the fake shit, white shit, and most fruits absolutely drag me down.
I've just found that plant based life makes me feel 1,906 x's better.

yeah something like it makes enzymes that help you break it down
my friend from HS is Hindu and his family is vegetarian, and every time he gets drunk he wants to eat a burger or chicken nuggets and then barfs everywhere
(probably exacerbated by the driving)
It will become a shit fest thread, I predict!
How so?
All I was gonna do is mention beans, peanuts, and other legumes as being good sources of plant-based proteins, but you mentioned that already.

Have you read this thread?
Sorry @gee, I just can't. You are right about the carbon footprint of course, but I've been vegetarian since high school, even before, really. So I've read it all, argued it all, doesn't matter in the long run because if you prove one thing, then suddenly it is a huge worry where do you get your B12, for example (a little cheap chewable cherry flavored tablet a few times a week. Levels normal.)
@august and @Applesauce, l have noticed a lot less soy in the vegan foods, too. Soy bothers my stomach if I eat too much. I like the Daiya stuff, though it doesn't taste like cheese, it does taste good. Also the gardein lime chicken tenders, and the beefless tips (plus the name lol). I like to cook from fresh, so I don't use meat substitutes that much. Umm but it sure is nice to have the choices out there.
(Eggless) Just Mayo is one of the Hampton Creek products of the Gates company. Btw Ben and Jerrys chocolate peanut butter non dairy is unbelievable.

I wonder how many people make the argument that vegetarians are missing out on vital nutrients, but eat garbage food like frozen pizzas and instant mashed potatoes every single night.
Again, I'm not vegetarian, but I love pissing off people who rag on vegans.

Have you read this thread?
All of it.
Far cry from a shitfest. More like a discrete churchfart.
Yes, heaven forbid I eat a cookie, suddenly my nutrition is of paramount importance to others.
Some vegetarians do eat junk, so do some non-vegetarians. Some vegans don't do it to be healthy, they do it for ethical reasons, or environmental, or whatever. Maybe they watched Cowspiracy on YouTube and don't know how to cook or what to eat without meat, so they eat ramen and fries. They will fail if they do that for too long, though. You are what you eat.These are good
I serve with sweet potato or regular fries or a spinach salad .http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2014/03/the-best-black-bean-burger-recipe.html

Well, you claim to be latina, which means there's a 97% chance you're Catholic, in which case fish isn't meat, so enjoy the fish.
Unless you happen to fall into that 3% that's heathen, or worse yet, Lutheran, in which case, no fish for you.

3%. No fish. If you eat fish, you will be reincarnated as the very fish you ate, thus beginning a timeless cycle of devouring yourself, over and over and over for all eternity. Now take a bite out of your forearm and see if that's what you really want before proceeding
I have zero interest in cheese, so fake (replacement) cheese is def not on the menu for me. What B12 tabs do you take??Sorry @gee, I just can't.
