    The fact that you’re always deflecting off yourself shows me everything I need to know about you.

    You know that you’d have a choice, and you know that it’s objectively wrong to harm animals for no reason. And all the pointing to cases where it might be justified does not change that fact.

    It’s funny how you come with a small valid exception, when the majority of humanity lives in big cities where everything is accessible.

    Of course, Inuit people in North Canada will eat seals, but hiding yourself behind them just shows how unaware you’re of your own privilege and also responsibility.


  • Tofu really depends on which consistency you buy. In stores like H-mart or other asian stores (USA), you can usually buy from very soft (silken tofu, consistency very soft) to very firm (consistency closer to a block of fresh cheese)

    In Europe it can even go to more firm consistencies, something you can also reach yourself if you press/compress it for a few hours (google tofu press, probably also works if you improvise it).

    If you’re searching something more meat like, I’d recommend trying soy chunks from a local indoan store (or the internet), they are also very convenient because they come dry and you can store them for ages until you soak and cook them. Just make sure to add spices when cooking tofu and/or soy chunks, because both don’t really have a taste by themselves. I usually use Soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper and various types of chillies.

    Ok, so so you’re saying me that somewhere 200g of meat is cheaper than 200g of tofu? Because an average meal is pretty much vegan except for the protein, if you cook with oil instead of butter (which is also cheaper).

    But yeah, no matter what I say, you’ll claim it’s wrong, mainly because you’re not really interested in anything but spreading your words. Which is fine, have a nice day.

    I think when you’re calling vegans “religious” it’s you using that as a slur, despite acknowledging that it’s objectively true, which you probably wouldn’t say about religions?

    And I agree that there are many more problems, but it’s easy to tackle more than one problem at a time, and considering that meat production is responsible for around 15-20% of all carbon emissions, and is a waste of calories (you feed the plants to the animals to get 1/10th at most back), it’s an easy way to also try to help out humans by combatting climate change and world hunger.

    I’d also add that the term “carnist” is just a factual description. It’s like calling a female presenting person woman.

    What I read is that you believe being vegan is being privileged (which to an extend is true, because usually it’s the more educated population that also tends to be vegan).

    But the reality is that vegan food is cheaper for the same nutrients. And that despite meat and milk being havily subsidized.

    I have no idea what vegan teacher youre talking about, and in my experience non-vegs feel bad just by hearing that I do actively go out of my way to not hurt innocent sentient beings.

    But yes, of course you’ll feel like you’re doing the right thing, when you actually stop doing the wrong thing. Nothing wrong with that.

    Also, the only reason the militant vegans make people so angry is, that deep down they know it’s true. Change my mind.




  • To be honest, I am vegan for over 12 years and my main source of protein at the moment is Tofu (I airfry a whole diced package, 20g protein per 200g), or eat soy chunks, soaked in hot water and pan fried (from the local indian store, 19g protein per 40g dry chunks). Also nice is gluten powder (also called seitan), which is wheat protein isolate and is excellent to be transformed into your own meat substitute (also sausages). That has 24g protein per 30g of dry mass, but for consistency I’d recommend mixing it with something like crushed beans or chickpeas, otherwise it’ll be very elastic.

    Otherwise I love the taste of the Orgain plant based protein, and of course, as mentioned by other people, eating a variety of lentils, beans, nuts or chickpeas helps to get the extra you need (the first paragraph is to fill up in the evening if you didn’t have enough during the day)

    Outing myself as a vegan here, but w/e.

    Don’t eat meat, eat protein and work out 3 days a week or more (if you can)! And specially if you’re vegetarian or vegan, don’t hesitate to consume 5g creatine monohydrate per day with a shake (or however else you like to drink it).

    Edit: I forgot to write it, but obviously, if you’re a woman or anything in between, you should also work out. We all should be strengthening our bodies and minds.
