  1. Why Vegetarians Should Avoid This Popular Italian Cheese

    While you won’t ever find me turning away a juicy, tempered steak, I sympathize with those who have decided to abstain from meat because, for them, finding quality sources of…

  2. The #Trump administration is doing the same thing for #vegetarians as they are doing for #green energy. Literally screwing their own priorities through the deep incompetence. The #USA will be fine without beef in any case, and the #maga ranchers have screw wormed themselves, so that is on them.

    "Was Hitler a Vegetarian? The Nazi Animal Protection Movement

    What can we learn from Hitler's love of animals?

    (. . .)

    There are, however, a few things we can learn from the Nazis' stated concern for animal welfare. The first is that human-animal interactions are fraught with paradox and inconsistency. The existence of a culture in which the leaders obsessed over the suffering of lobsters in Berlin restaurants while they were gassing people in concentration camps with rat poison represents a moral inversion of incomprehensible proportions.

    Second, the Nazi animal protectionists represent examples of fundamentally bad people doing good things for animals. I suspect this pattern of behavior is rare. However, the converse — fundamentally good people who treat animals badly — is common. In the United States, for instance, over 150 million animals are killed or wounded each year for the enjoyment of recreational hunters. Similarly, most childhood animal cruelty is perpetrated by children who will grow up to be perfectly normal adults. (The widespread belief that most school shooters and serial killers were early animal abusers is a myth.) Then there are the 10 billion animals slaughtered each year in the United States by what the philosopher Tom Regan calls 'the tyranny of the fork.'"

  4. I wish you could filter out reviews from westerners on #HappyCow or other review sites for #Asian #vegetarian food.

    It's a generalization, but can't trust most of them them. Too many mediocre, overpriced restaurants in touristy areas in Japan or elsewhere, catering to western #vegetarians, getting glowing reviews.

  5. I do love my adopted homeland, but rural Spain still can't seem to get it's head around those strange beings called "Vegetarians". A conversation that I had this week when there was nothing on a menu that didn't include meat or fish

    Me: My wife is a vegetarian can she have just egg and chips?

    Waiter: Oh no, does she have an allergy to meat?

    Me: Er yes, sort of

    Waiter: OK, certainly we could do that.
    Would she like some chorizo with the egg and chips?

  6. maintenancephase.buzzsprout.co ← There's a section in this #MaintenancePhase episode where Aubrey speculates on why there's a widespread "I hate them because they are smug" attitude about #vegetarians and #vegans, and it tracks so hard that I always pull it out whenever I see someone pulling that shit.

    > Michael: Right. We talked about this in our vegetarianism episode. I know this when it happened, but we also get the social construction of vegetarians and vegans as holier than thou. I mean, I have not met a vegan like this, but this idea of, “They're constantly scolding you and they think they're better than you and all this stuff.” I remember this stuff from the 90s.

    > Aubrey: Can I tell you my theory about where that comes from? So, listen, we talked about this a little bit in our food pyramid episode that there was this push by doctors to define vegetarianism as the heart healthiest diet of the thing you ought to pursue and cut out animal products. But I think that folks were feeling really judged by that and externalized that response to feeling judged as like, “They're always preaching to you.”

  7. [Thread] Alright then. Let's get the #SolarPunkSunday ball rolling! I will be sharing recipes for eating on a budget, but some of them involve eggs -- which are off the menu for my vegan friends, and might be off the menu for others as well. My favorite egg substitute? Tofu! Extra firm #Tofu can be used as a substitute for scrambled eggs, and silken tofu is great for making desserts and other goodies. Here are some links to recipes and tips and tricks involving #EggSubstitutes!

    First off...

    The Best Tofu For Egg Substitute: A Must-read For #Vegans And #Vegetarians!

    What To Know

    Whether you’re making a scramble, a quiche, or a tofu-based dessert, it’s important to choose the right type of tofu for the task at hand.
    It can be used in dishes where you want the tofu to have a similar texture to eggs, such as scrambles and quiches.
    Baked tofu is a great alternative to eggs in dishes where you want the tofu to have a chewy texture, such as tofu hot dogs or tofu sandwiches.

    What Is The Best Tofu To Use For An Egg Substitute?

    1. Firm tofu: This tofu has a dense and chewy texture, making it a good substitute for eggs in baking recipes.
    2. Silken tofu: This type of tofu has a soft and smooth texture, making it a good substitute for eggs in sauces, dressings, and smoothies.
    3. Extra-firm tofu: This type of tofu has a firm and meaty texture, making it a good substitute for eggs in stir-fry recipes.
    4. Tofu scramble: This is a quick and easy way to use tofu as an egg substitute. Simply crumble tofu and cook it in a pan with spices and vegetables.
    5. Tofu mayonnaise: This is an easy and healthy way to make mayonnaise without using eggs. Simply blend tofu with lemon juice, mustard, and seasonings.

  8. Vegetarian diets of our ancestors.

    #Science #Vegetarians #diet #early_life

    A new study has found that Australopithecus diet was mainly plant based and that it was a few million years later that a hunter lifestyle for meat was followed. It is possible that some animal protein was gained by eating eggs, but on the whole Australopithecus ate a vegetarian diet. Examination of teeth enamel found that the nitrogen levels were low indicating a diet comprising of vegetation.

  9. Really silly question for #vegans and #vegetarians.
    Its not a gotcha or political but just something my brain farted out and I decided I needed the wisdom of the veggy fed on the matter.

    If a food product has flavouring that simulates meat but contains no animal products, would you try/eat the product?

  10. Every human is a #plant eater.
    #Carnivores consume more plants though.

    The more #animal products we eat, the more plants have to be harvested, because we take way more plants, if we let them go through #animals first and at the end, we consume way more #food , if we consume animals.

    Actually not #vegans , or #vegetarians are the ones, who are mostly into eating plants. Carnivores are.

  11. Any #vegetarians out there, my brother who is still a kid is wondering if there is a type of chicken that vegetarians can eat? I told him about Impossible meat such as found in Impossible burgers, but figured I'd ask because I never tried impossible meat and I don't know about Chicken being eaten by Vegetarians and didn't want to give him wrong info. #Food #Vegan #Vegetarian

  12. Galettes du pèlerin aux herbes du jardin (blette, roquette, pissenlit, gaillet-gratteron, ail triquètre, oignon vert, oseille, chou) et épices (paprika doux, curry et curcuma) cuites à la poêle et accompagnées d’une sauce samouraï maison, mélangée à de l’houmous de fèves du jardin…

  13. I had been warned about driving in the desert alone at night. Still I wanted to return home to Oklahoma as soon as possible to maximize my Christmas break with my family.

    I saw some lights over to the west. But decided to concentrate on the road instead. The stereotypical UFO encounter continued as I lost my radio station, then my only one year old car engine stalled. The lights came closer as I pulled over. I felt trapped as there were only a few cacti to hide behind. So I stayed in the car as the alien ship hovered over me.

    Suddenly three aliens came down from the spaceship and surrounded my car. The closest one tapped on my driver’s window. I opened it a crack. “Greetings,” I said in an effort not to be overpowered.

    “Greetings, Earthling. We are from Vegetare.”

    I thought about that a moment then laughed. “Are you trying to tell me you are Vegetarians?”

    “Is there something funny about that?” asked the talkative alien.

    “Here on earth, people who don’t eat meat say that’s what they are called.”

    The alien just stared blankly for a minute. I tried to help him. “Which star system are you from? Maybe you can go by that.”

    The alien’s face became more animated. “Yes we could do that. We are from the Vega star system.”

    I laughed long and hard at this. “Are you saying that not only are you Vegetarians, but you are Vegans as well?”

    “What is funny about this?”

    “Earthlings call themselves Vegans if they don’t eat animals or animal products”

    The alien stared blankly. It blinked its eyes a couple times.

    “To avoid confusion, what exactly do you aliens actually eat?

    “Cookies,” came the quick reply.

    I rubbed my chin. “That’s possibly Vegan or Vegetarian. Maybe your story does check out. But how do you survive on just junk food.”

    “You misunderstand.” said the alien and pointed a gun like thing at my head. “We’re the cookers, you are the cookees!”

  14. @peter
    > Hitler was a vegetarian

    Common misconception, often lobbed as vegans;

    "Hitler's diet was primarily vegetarian throughout the latter part of his life; however, he didn't adopt a vegetarian diet for moral reasons, but because he suffered from gastric problems."

  15. #Vegetarianism is a smart choice for good #health, and this scientist/writer knows he should lean into plant-based food. But, you know, a good burger! Anyway, new research suggests human carnivores may have different #genetics than strict #vegetarians.
