Tofu does has a fairly complete amino acid profile, which is why it combines well with many vegetable proteins. It's only a little short on methionine.

Seeds, nuts, spinach, sweet potato, corn, asparagus, broccoli, chard... And more are all pretty decent sources of methionine.

You may find this article my friend wrote interesting -https://green.michaelaltfield.net/2014/10/20/complete-protein-ratios/

I think many people like to toast the bread but you don't have to.

Why don't I gain anything by it?

How is it not helping to remind them where the ice cream came from, since they obviously forgot if they're complaining about it to a vegan.

And what makes you assume moral superiority? You said yourself that you understand how frustrating it is for us to hear about animals being exploited. That's where the joke comes from. People unthinkingly doing wrong and expecting us to say nothing.

 

It's important to oppose the EATS (Ending Agricultural Trade Suppression) act.

From an email I received about this from Animal Equality:

"Last month, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the strongest farm animal protection law in the country, California’s Proposition 12, which bans the sale of products that come from animals trapped in unthinkably small crates. Also in recent years, we've banned the sale of eggs from caged hens in nine states.

These laws have impacted the lives of millions upon millions of animals across the country. But now, agricultural industry groups are trying to undo our progress by introducing legislation in the U.S. Congress that would undo years of hard work and send millions of farmed animals back into tiny cages. We can't let this happen.

The "Ending Agricultural Trade Suppression (EATS) Act" is been designed to wipe out all the state laws we've worked so hard to pass. If successful, the EATS Act could also destroy hundreds of additional state laws protecting animals, such as statutes safeguarding against the abuse of dogs in puppy mills, the killing of animals for the wildlife trade, and painful experiments inflicted on animals for cosmetic testing.

The EATS Act could even strike down state laws on a vast range of other concerns, including pesticide use, protection against lead poisoning, toxic chemicals in baby food containers, and child labor. Needless to say, this legislation is extremely dangerous!"

I feel ya.

The other day my friend was complaining that his ice cream he had delivered was melted. And I was like "Aw man. They raped a mother and killed her calf to make that ice cream for you and you didn't even get to enjoy it cold". He just rolled his eyes at me but yea, like sorry I'm not sorry lol.

Yeah it's possible I'll visit your community. Although, I am not normally a debatebro, I just didn't want OP to be only getting negative responses to the post especially right at the start, when posting here.

And your cry baby wah wah comment is why carnists get the reputation they do.

[–] Goldfishlaser@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Depends on what OP means by being mean. I read it as the sometimes sardonic remarks that are almost compelled from us when they want to discuss their carnist lifestyle around us or to us as though we are just gonna be like "you be you".

Oh dang. Thanks for letting me know.

And so many people think eating chicken is healthy. Eating chicken is eating disease, filth, and suffering.

You might also like https://www.theveganstoner.com/

420 status doesn't really matter, recommending because their recipes also feature cute illustrations. :)

 

Barnivore is a directory where you can easily search for vegan wine, beer, liquor and more.

From the site: "Brewmasters, winemakers, and distillers may include animal ingredients in their products directly, or they might use them in the processing and filtration.

When making the product, dairy, honey, and other things are ingredients in the final recipe.

When filtering the drinks prior to bottling, companies can use things like isinglass (from fish bladder,) gelatin, egg whites, and sea shells, among other things. These products grab onto the impurities and make it easier to catch them in the filters, though there are many animal-free alternatives in use."

Always remember that if you drink, drink responsibly 🍻

That's cool, I'll have to try that sometime. I love methods that store well in the pantry. And avoiding costs/energy of transporting water.

I've been wanting to get into a regular cadence of making tofus (with various beans and seeds) and that would also be a source of plant milk.

 

In this video, Mic the Vegan tells us about a novel technology creating a fat that is melty, lardy, and structurally similar to animal fat.

Sharing this video because Jake Tran's video contained many common objections that people raise against using plant milks. Lifting Vegan Logic breaks down the reasons why these objections are fallacious.

Lifting Vegan Logic is a great channel that uses sarcasm and parody to discuss vegan ideas.
