https://maintenancephase.buzzsprout.com/1411126/episodes/13574155-soy-boys ← 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.”

[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.

Americans, what's a good affordable brand of oat milk I could buy in NYC by the 2L carton? I'm missing the taste of my Earth's Own (Canadian brand) and realizing the Trader Joes oat milk is mealy and not that great.
Vegetarian diets of our ancestors.

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.

Why doesn’t this surprise me?

@sibrosan And Paul says in Romans 14 verse 2 that weak people are #vegetarians while others eat everything without any restrictions. Tell me your eating habits and I'll find the verse that proves you right. Or wrong, whatever you wish to hear.

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?
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.
Sigh. I don't even like Silk brand that much but I sometimes buy it because it's sold everywhere. Just dumped out an almost full carton of oat milk that bore the recalled product code.

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
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…
Hey, #boston and greater #CambervilleMA , anybody know a local caterer that does really well by #vegetarians? I'm thinking more like corporate caterer than wedding caterer, but I am hoping for like heated dinner entrees rather than just sandwiches. Doesn't have to be vegan, but not super spicy.
Children on vegetarian diets grow just as well and are as well nourished as meat-eaters. But…. These kids do have a tendency to be underweight. #vegetarians #children #nutrition #malnutrition

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!”
