MilitantVegan OP ,

If you skip the mass produced stuff, there are plenty of great naturally fermented plant-based cheeses. But in my experience it always feels like something is missing, which probably has to do with dairy’s addictiveness. How do you compete with drugs?

MilitantVegan OP ,

psilocybe-infused artisinal almond cheese. 🧑‍🍳🤌

MilitantVegan OP ,

I’ve definitely had some good hot dogs and brats. I don’t remember which stadium style hot dogs I’ve tried, but I usually go for some flavor of Field Roast.

There was a time when the “definition” of marriage was a union between only one amab and afab person. Definitions change.

MilitantVegan OP ,

The point of vegan cheese is that they most certainly do not taste like murder. 😁

MilitantVegan OP ,

Agreed.

MilitantVegan OP ,

The lgbtq+ communities and vegans are both seeking justice in their own areas of concern, so it’s most definitely not extreme to compare the two.

MilitantVegan OP ,

There are forms of discrimination that happen to vegans, but more importantly, it’s the non-human animals who are being oppressed.

MilitantVegan OP ,

Plant-based cheeses are allowed in their competition. They technically got disqualified because one of the ingredients is some type of fat that currently doesn’t have GRAS (generally recognized as safe) status. Except they only made it an issue after the plant-based cheese had won.

The whole resistance to reinterpreting culinary language is just nothing but anti-competitiveness.

MilitantVegan OP ,

This, thank you.

MilitantVegan OP ,

A baby human consuming their mother’s breast milk is vegan, because the mother is consenting to it. A cow cannot consent to being forcibly, artificially impregnated for the sake of producing milk. They don’t consent to having their horns chopped off. Nor do they consent to their children being stolen from them almost immediately after birth to be butchered for veal.

Yes plant-based cheeses are intended to mimic animal cheeses. But that doesn’t mean they have to be identical. Guilt puts a tint on the things we experience, and the way we feel can be considered a dimension of flavor. I would imagine a lot of people would argue they don’t feel guilty about consuming animals or their secretions, but that’s only because they’ve never experienced any time without that guilt. If you’re used to feeling a certain way every day, you start to forget about the feeling all together, even though it’s still effecting you in the background.

The idea with plant-based alternatives is to have all of the good properties of their animal-counterparts, and none of the bad. Cheese that’s free of the shame and guilt of causing unnecessary harm and suffering to thinking, feeling, sentient beings inherently tastes better.

“The plant constituents of that product, a vegan blue cheese, are hardly exotic. The top four ingredients are pumpkin seeds, coconut oil, lima beans, and hemp protein powder. And yet Dominique Crenn, a Michelin-starred chef, described it as “soft, buttery, and surprisingly rich—beyond imagination for a vegan cheese.””

It’ll be interesting to try when it comes out, but there are already plenty of good brands out there.

Here are more details (and more context is in the article):

“Someone had tipped off the foundation on something that disqualified Climax, Good Food Foundation Executive Director Sarah Weiner told the Washington Post. The complaint potentially arose from Climax’s use of the ingredient kokum butter, which has not been designated as GRAS (generally regarded as safe) by the Food and Drug Administration. However, Zahn told the Washington Post that the company has replaced the ingredient with cocoa butter, which was the version he said he submitted for the awards (although Weiner contests this).

The Good Food Awards also didn’t require GRAS certification for all ingredients back when contestants submitted their products — rather, the foundation added this to the rules later on. Zahn claims the Good Food Foundation never reached out to Climax to inform the company of the new requirement, although Weiner told the Washington Post it attempted to. SFGATE could not reach the Good Food Foundation for comment in time for publication.

“It would have been very easy for them to reach out to us and tell us about the new requirements,” Zahn told SFGATE. “… The thing that’s upsetting to me is that they were kind of unprofessional by changing the rules a week before the event.””

I’ll just copy and paste the same thing I replied with, above:

With this username I am quickly finding out I should be charging one quarter every time someone says this.

MilitantVegan OP ,

How do you know an animal abuser is in the room? Don’t worry, they either won’t shut up about bacon, or they’ll make the same bland anti-vegan jokes that were old 20+ years ago.

MilitantVegan OP ,

I don’t like the fact that vegans are always pushed into forming echochambers. Everybody else needs to take a hard look and recognize that maybe not abusing animals isn’t so radical after all.

MilitantVegan OP ,

I’m just going to keep posting anti animal abuse content and eventually enough people are going to do the same until it becomes too hard to ignore.

MilitantVegan OP ,

There is no shortage of resources to help a person transition.

theminimalistvegan.com/how-to-go-vegan/

MilitantVegan OP ,

What leaves a bad taste for the vegan community is when a vegan tries to coddle carnists because they’re afraid of not fitting in. Animal abuse is shameful, and people should be confronted and shamed for their abuses.

MilitantVegan OP ,

Not happening. Go vegan.

MilitantVegan OP ,

Dang, gelato sounds good to be honest.

I remember reading about why greenhouse gas emissions are such a hot topic in environmentalism. The author showed how a lot of the other important environmental degredations we need to fix all interrelate right back to ghgs. Tackling emissions is a nexus problem - solving it simultaneously solves a lot of other environmental problems.

Veganism is similar. In the first place, we are never going to meet climate goals without also becoming significantly more plant-centric, since the animal ag industry is one of the single largest climate change contributors (in addition to their other environmental harms like fecal pollution and deforestation).

www.surgeactivism.org/aveganworld

Going vegan also happens to be a form of fascist resistance, as the animal ag industry is one of the largest funders of conservative groups (including Democrats).

Going vegan is likely also one of the best choices you can make for your own health, particularly if you go the whole-food plant-based route.

www.redpenreviews.org/…/proof-is-in-the-plants/

Going vegan as a society is probably the only response that has any hope of averting an h5n1 pandemic - which could wipe out as much as half of the human population when it occurs.

www.surgeactivism.org/notifbutwhenbirdflu

And if worker rights and worker exploitation matters to you, then you should know that animal ag is one of the worst offenders.

Going vegan solves many problems, and it’s an issue that can’t be handwaived with the line “but corporations produce 70%” — sorry. No magically ideal government is ever going to get 99% of the population to go vegan. It’s cultural, and that means individual action matters. If even one person adopts a vegan lifestyle, it’s estimated that as many as 200 fewer animals will be slaughtered per year.

Like it or not, we all have a responsibility to stop animal abuse. Doing so just so happens to help eliminate or at least alleviate a lot of other pressing problems as well.

MilitantVegan OP ,

If I use a technique that you approve of, will you stop abusing animals?

MilitantVegan OP ,

That’s definitely untrue. Carnists never shut up about bacon.

MilitantVegan OP ,

If someone is being a bigot, should they not be shamed for it? Why should I feel like I have to tip-toe around animal abusers? You’re the one doing the wrong thing. Would you adopt a vegan lifestyle if I presented my message in the way you approved of?

MilitantVegan OP ,

“No ethical consumption under capitalism” says nothing about the abstaining from consumption.

animalclock.org

MilitantVegan ,

This. There’s more than an ample credible threat to justify an executive order to have them all shut down as a matter of national security.

MilitantVegan ,

Maybe y’all need to consider, isn’t it strange to fantasize about bringing extinct (potentially) sentient beings back into existence for the sole purpose of killing them again and carving up their body parts for sensory pleasure?

MilitantVegan ,

Is there any difference? Would killing and carving up the body parts of a dinosaur for your sensory pleasure be any less cruel if it happened in the dinosaur’s own time?

MilitantVegan ,

PGP/GPG. I would like to see the web of trust take off. Also I love the aesthetic for anything that’s been signed, and would like to see blog posts everywhere be nested by long blocks of random symbols.

MilitantVegan ,

Yeah but the aesthetic!

Revolt is promising in that it’s trying to be a direct Discord clone, but it’s also being made by one person as a passion project, and it sounds like it’s their first time doing a project of this size. Last time I checked, encryption was not even implemented in it yet.

Matrix is distinctly different from Discord, but it’s certainly more mature and featurefull as well.

MilitantVegan ,

What’s wrong with Privacy Tools?

MilitantVegan ,

Good to know, thanks.

MilitantVegan ,

No mention of Record of Lodoss War yet? Still one of the most underrated Diablo-clones.

What kind of rice? Plant based foods can be significantly less expensive than animal products if you get them in their whole food forms. Brown rice might be a little more effort to cook but it’s a lot more filling and nutritious. and in general whole grains are going go be a lot more filling than refined sources.

Leafy greens are known to slow metabolism, so if you can include them they will help you feel satiated for longer, and help your body use your nutrients more efficiently.

If you’re able to order anything online or find a grocery store that carries them, soy curls and tvp are bean-based meat alternatives that are extremely easy to cook. Prices on those vary though. Nutritional yeast is also great to have because it not only loads your food full of protein, but also adds a delicious cheesy/savory flavor. And it might not be the healthiest choice, but a big bag of msg is probably the least expensive way to give all your meals a good savory kick.

And try not to give up on beans. Out of all foods, beans are correlated with the longest lifespans. Try all different kinds, including lentils which are generally easier to cook. Few foods are less expensive than beans, so it’s worth learning to love them.

MilitantVegan ,

Dude, I’m not even going to keep engaging with you. Gotta be the most low effort troll I’ve seen in a while.

MilitantVegan ,

Thank you for informing me about these things. Normally when I buy a phone I base my decision mainly on which ones are supported by degoogled variants of Android. In the future I will stick more to used devices, and less harmful brands like Fairphone.

Everywhere I’ve looked says the same - cows can live 15-20 years and possibly even longer. That’s significantly more life than 18-20 months.

MilitantVegan ,

Maybe there’d be less issues if you could argue with the substance of the arguments I make, and not project your own arrogance. Whole-food plant-based cuisine requires learning a lot of unique skills, and unlearning bad habits. If all you’re used to is relying on the crutch of loading your meals full of sugar, salt, and fat, then you’re naturally not going to have any knowledge or experience in how to make meals that taste good and increase people’s lifespans.

Maybe instead of letting your ego get in the way, you can take this as an opportunity to learn how to expand your culinary skills so you can at least know how to prepare something that heals instead of harms. Here’s a few books to get started:

General: nutritionfacts.org/book/how-not-to-die-cookbook/

And for diabetes management: www.masteringdiabetes.org/book/

That’s insane. There’s nothing natural about being slaughtered against your will. Growing less profitable is not a natural cause of death. I don’t know anything more disturbingly capitalist than to perceive intelligent living beings as commodities.
