and way more lucrative.

just don’t eat meat if you don’t want to.

you don’t need highly processeed junk food that dresses up as meat.

protein? who are you kidding? that stuff will be full of seed oils, sugar, wheat and carbs. with some plant protein sprinkled in between.

lab meat, get out of here. why should yout eat lab meat when normal meat is unhealthy in the first place?

and you think they won’t stretch that lab meat with wheat, sugar and seed oils as well? why wouldn’t they?

if you believe they want to noourish you into best health while disregarding profit, i have a bridge to sell you.

the only reason to get you to eat hoghly processed junk food that dresses up as meat is money.

they dont care about your health or the planet.

jorp ,

On the other hand I like how they taste and enjoy that they’ve got lower environmental impact.

I can read the nutritional info and make informed decisions.

Many substitutes have more protein for the same calories than meat.

addictedtochaos ,

and different proteins have differing apsorption rates ;-) eggs and fish seem best.

jorp ,

for some reason everyone becomes a nutritionist when veganism comes up.

I’m vegan, I eat meat substitutes, I’m easily putting on muscle and have a muscular build. Mind your own business

addictedtochaos ,

I never said you have a hard time doing this or that.

different protein digestion from different protein is a real thing proven by scientific methods. its called bioavalibility, its applicable to minerals, vitamins, proteins, fats, and much more.

biochemistry does not lie.

mind my own buisness, get out of here, this is a news discussion forum. ask a mod to ban me if you feel I harrassed you in some way.

sometimes it’s not about the truth of what is said but about when and how you choose to say it, the arguments you choose to have say as much about you as what you have to say

addictedtochaos ,

Sometimes, I realize that the reason I feel rage about an injustice is because it invalidates my weak unstable inner core, that must be protected at all cost, and is propped up by virtue signaling.

It’s almost like for-profit medical services are unethical or something.

madjo , in Tesla erases history, silently removes key climate manifesto written by Elon Musk

It’s probably too “woke” for Musk’s new fanbase and he doesn’t wanna look like he got hit by the “Woke Mind Virus”.

Btw, I love the guys over at Edison Motors, who got fed up waiting for an all electric hauling truck, so they’re retrofitting their own, under the slogan “Stealing Tesla’s Ideas”.

asexualchangeling ,

As some one who loves Nikola Tesla and despises everything Edison stood for, I can’t help but respect what I’ve heard about Edison Motors

zalgotext ,

I think it’s funny and pretty clever that they’re sort of turning the Edison name on its head

Wogi ,

Here’s a fun fact

Thomas Edison was one of the first people to speak out against putting radium in fucking everything. When everyone was going absolutely nuts for radiation, Edison refused to join the craze and wouldn’t work with radium or polonium after watching an assistant develop a skin condition after working with X-rays.

Raiderkev ,

So long as we’re talking about Tesla knockoffs, gotta love Nikola’s attempt to fake it til they made it with absolutely no tech, rolling the prototype down a hill n hoping no one noticed.

The most healthy plant based meat alternatives have always been, Beans & Legumes.
You're welcome!

addictedtochaos ,

nooooooo we want them to buy the OTHER kind of plant based meat alternatives, the lucrative ones.

Notyou ,

Lentils and nuts/seeds?

addictedtochaos ,

that profit margin is puny, we want some form of processed alternative, so we can make lots of money.

Kbobabob ,

Isn’t that what these are made from?

Zier ,
@Zier@fedia.io avatar

They are partially made from soy, peas, etc. However what they do is remove parts of the protein from the bean/legume. All the good parts get removed except some protein and a few trace elements. Then you add all kinds of filler chemicals, modifiers, gelling agents that have also been super processed as well.
These foods are okay for a once-in-a-while dinner but are not a healthy food. A peanut butter sandwich is way healthier, if you are using pure ground peanuts, no fillers.

Kbobabob ,

Yay, ultra-processed food. I rarely buy anything premade.

captainlezbian ,

And they’re easy! Like I enjoy fake meat as a treat, but as my wife can’t eat soy my primary meat replacement is black beans. Sometimes butter beans. It’s great, it’s easy, and I feel good.

That said the real best is lentils. Nothing is healthy like lentils are. They’re just difficult to cook right

Zier ,
@Zier@fedia.io avatar

I know, those lentils take me 4-5 days to cook. O_o

addictedtochaos ,

i fear eating them, since i had 2 days long migraines often, i think cooking them like this is really nesscessary, to get rid of toxins from the outher shell. but i am far to hungry for this method.

Zier ,
@Zier@fedia.io avatar

Just an FYI, that was a joke. Lentils cook faster than any other bean and you do not need to soak them. They are super healthy for you.

addictedtochaos ,

there are species of lentils you have to soak in water for days, and then cook really long, i didnt made that up.

Zier ,
@Zier@fedia.io avatar

Interesting. I usually do the French Lentils because they cook the fastest. And regular brown. Red are quick but I usually use those to thicken pasta sauce since they disintegrate but add thickness and protein.

addictedtochaos ,

there are like 100dreds of different ones ;-)

usually, you have to cook them this long because the outer shell has some form of toxin against plant eating animals.

tilefan ,

I tried a Beyond Burger once and all I could taste was beans. I’m not a huge fan of beans, but having a bean flavor with a non-bean consistency is a no-go from my palate.

Kayday ,

I’m not vegan, but I’ve been trying to limit my groceries to have 1 meat based dinner each week. I have really enjoyed using chickpeas as my protein for lots of different things. My favorite right now is a chickpea shawarma.

@samokosik@lemmy.world avatar

I am europe based. Can I ask why this is such an issue in the US?

fossilesque , (edited )
@fossilesque@mander.xyz avatar

Ignoring problems tends to make them rot faster. Hollywood is superficial, it’s all we got. None of the basics are taken care of, it’s why I left (e.g. wealth before health). No safety nets, desperation is easy to find. Limited opportunities if you can’t afford to do anything. It’s an unsustainable way to live, if you call that living. It’s more like surviving.

samokosik ,
@samokosik@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah but I was referring specifically to the police attacks. Cause I hear about it regularly in the news just to see another aggression?

Any parallel between expenses and police violence?

Hacksaw ,

We’ve been hiring these “police trainers” that have been telling police that their job is super dangerous and anyone can kill them at anytime if they’re not ready to kill at the drop of a hat. Then creating bullshit scenarios where grandma passes by in the street and shoots them. Like the lady in the red dress in the matrix training.

Anyways being a cop has a lower chance of getting you killed than being a pizza delivery driver, so these people are ALWAYS ON EDGE but the payoff never comes. So they behave like an immune system when nothing is happening by attacking the body.

So they’re beating innocents and abusing criminals left right and centre and there is nothing we seem to be able to do about it other than give them more militarized equipment so they can beat us better while feeling safer doing it.

myrrh ,

…partly it’s cultural, partly it’s legal immunity from abuses of power…

…law enforcement receives negligible training nor regulation, funds itself on the spoils of abuse, bullies anyone who objects, is immune to accountability, and readily hops jurisdictions in the event of public backlash…

Buddahriffic ,

Also anyone that tries to fix the system from the inside tends to get targetted, at least by HR if not by their peers whose corruption they are threatening. The bad apples are in control and have a system to either turn new apples bad or toss them out.

And the police unions are used to avoid reform from above, since pretty much any attempt to discipline is challenged with whatever means available.

And they are a gang with state resources available to help enforce their will, plus inside information about how investigations are run and access to those doing the investigations, should their other lines of defense fail.

fossilesque ,
@fossilesque@mander.xyz avatar

Don’t forget the military surplus from endless wars, and the lack of social services causing mentally ill people from biology or circumstance to further burden an untrained police force (obviously shouldn’t be their job to begin with, fuck cops). They can keep throwing money at police, but it won’t fix any of the causes and people in general are bad with grasping exponential feedback loops.

chiliedogg ,

Police aren’t legally accountable for their actions so long as they’re acting in the performance of their duties, and lots of departments knowingly have illegal policies on the books to maintain that immunity for their officers.

People try to sue over it, but the cases are thrown out by the local judge because there’s no standing to sue unless the illegal policy had impacted you, so a cop basically has to kill someone before the policies are modified in the smallest way possible, but the killer cop still gets off.

Additionally, police are allowed to lie in most of their interactions with the public. They have created a culture that encourages dishonesty, so perjury isn’t an ethical problem in their eyes.

duffman ,

Not entirely true. Cops are fired, penalized, and held legally accountable quite often. Not frequently enough but you’re stating that they are immune.

Qualified immunity protects state and local officials, including law enforcement officers, from individual liability unless the official violated a clearly established constitutional right.

FiniteBanjo , (edited )

It’s an issue in many other countries as well and there are a great many contributing factors.

  1. Race and “Tough on Crime” politics - Ever since the emancipation of slaves on the basis of race, there have been political figures passing discriminatory policy that allows police to pursue and harass people at their own discretion: black laws, Jim Crow era laws, forced segregation, the 1994 Crime Bill, etc.

“We have to strengthen our laws when it comes to mob violence, to make sure individuals are unequivocally dissuaded from committing violence when they’re in large groups,” Florida state Rep. Juan Fernandez-Barquin, a Republican, said during a hearing for an anti-riot bill that was enacted in April.

It’s clear that you can convince people to deregulate and militarize the police if you convince those people they have a greater enemy. You can see these stances and policy directions mirrored across Europe as refugees and immigration from poorer countries have increased in the last decade.

  1. Lack of Centralization - The FBI is in charge of investigating police departments, and sometimes you see jurisdiction overlaps which allows other agencies like the DEA, State Marshals, Sheriff’s Department, etc to investigate each other, but in general a Police Department is held to no standard but their own until things have already escalated past a point of return.

Some federal programs have tried rewarding PDs that behave well and adhere to specific training or standards, but it’s far from enforced.

ACAB includes European cops, by the way. Just because they’re especially bad in the USA doesn’t mean yours aren’t also trash.

Not sure which country you’re in, but how have your cops been handling environmental or climate protests? or protests in support of Palestinians?

taiyang , in Texas Removed 1 Million From Voter Rolls. But Most Had Moved or Died.

All that moving makes me hopeful Texas gets the population decline penalty in 2030 the same way Cali got it… Assuming it doesn’t somehow go blue by then, that is.

I’m still bitter about the Cali thing, mostly cause I just know census under reported folk under Trump.

elucubra , in Black Trump supporter claims he was called a ‘slave’ by right-wing organization he was canvassing for
