Do you need that density though ? Also animals products contains basically 0 fibers and not much water so you also gotta plants anyway to get a fit meal.
Some of the best protein choices:
- quinoa
- tempeh (fermented soy)
- tofu (not much fibers here but many minerals and water)
- brewer's yeast (but in its own, but you can add it on everything, it’s delicious and cheap)
- if you’re into processed stuff (like whey and flours) there’s many’s proteins extracts like peas, soy, beans… also TSP and TPP for cooking convenience.
Most bakeries offer the two types though: "au beurre" and "sans beurre". The later don’t necessarily needs to be made with cheap margarine, a good vegetal oil (or a combinaison) suits very well. The flavor is different and I prefer those than the butter ones. Freshness is a must obviously as peer said.
You're right, and I was simplifying. The problem isn't margarine per se, it's cheap margarine. Which is what you'll find in nearly all supermarket croissants. Even the ones advertising "all butter" in a supermarket will be using the shittiest butter that they're still legally allowed to call butter. Depends on the country but often has additives like food coloring and artificial butter flavor.
Is it still the case? I mean sure, it was going on on such scale that the joke was "chicken soup is best for sickness as it already contains antibiotics" but surely it was already banned in most countries?
Sure in North America and Europe but it’s s to ok intensive in India, Australia, China, Thailand and many other countries. Sadly viruses have no border.
Yet those companies don’t necessarily compete for performance and comparaison, but instead for their own profit. If Nintendo makes profit from selling a device that runs a game in lower spec than Sony, they’re Happy with it. Computing devices aren’t driven by performance only.
The butter is my favorite exemple: peanut butter, cacao butter, Vitellaria butter…
"What food are" actually refer to what people use that word for and not necessarily what is the strict scientific definition. I’m sure most knows what’s a "plant burger", although I concede the current law is confusing as you can call an egg or diary many based patty as such.
While AGS is an interesting subject you may consider renaming the title of your post as being allergic to mammalian meat hasn’t much to share with veganism. Someone with that condition doesn’t even need to consider to have a vegetarian diet [0]
I suggest "Mammalian meat allergy" because it’s factual and easy to understand.
0: from the article :
> Individuals with an alpha-gal allergy do not need to become strict vegetarians because reptile meats, poultry—including red meat from ostriches, emus, and other ratites—and seafood naturally do not contain alpha-gal.
I dont understand that view : peanut butter, coconut milk, cacao butter and plenty, plenty others exemples exist probably since languages apparition. A vegetal burger shouldn’t be called beef burger obviously but we all know what almond milk means. The misleading argument isn’t serious but an attempt to block a cultural changes some don’t like or profit from.
Also, in regards to the “cow corpse flesh” comment, I think we (particularly Americans) are far too detached from the fact that eating meat is downstream from killing an animal. If we had more appreciation for that fact, perhaps we would be eating more plant-forward meals. Whether or not that would lead to a decrease in obesity or other co-morbidities would be interesting to test.
A recent study shown trace hexane in most French milk because we feed a lot of our livestock with de-oiled soy which is the other side of the extraction process.
The same traces are found in de-cafeined coffee and many d’avoir extracts.
> if we suddenly discovered that cows were sentient
People eat beef mostly because they’re used to it and they think it’s good for them. Everybody knows cow are sentient, there’s a strong intuition (why wouldn’t they like other animals ?) but also tons of literature. There’s not much doubt about it neither.
I agree with the slave owners, however the spectrum of acceptance is large where it’s part of the society. What about someone that make profit by doing business with the slave owner? Someone that buy products coming ~probably~ from that work?
Or someone assisting an "indigene showcase" because they know nothing about this humanoid that look, speak and act differently than the people they used to known (that are from 100km away max). Not different than a zoo, and both are tremendously cruel.
