Water is a chemical. Salt is a preservative This is fucking stupid.

But why choose when you can have both?

Think this post confuses veganism and vegetarianism. Also it's chemicals all the way down. Those spices? Made of chemicals.

Those alternative burgers are actually pretty tasty but also very heavy because they are imitating beef. For American fare I'd generally prefer a sandwich with deli style meats made out of tofu or seitan, or a bean burger.

You mean to say scientists don't sit in a circle and summon the "Chemicals" from the lower tiers of hell?

I mean have you all seen the videos in tiktok about the zero hygiene they have in the street food places while preparing the food, oh my...

Honestly the Indian one should have just been "Here's your meal." "Thanks. It is delicious, as expected."

Both are good but fake meat is the Pinnacle of processed foods

My only problem with Indian food. Whenever I try a restaurants it's shit. But when my coworkers would bring in a feast on Diwali, it was my favorite time of year.

I can't find any restaurants that taste even similar to their home cooked meals.

I was lucky enough to travel to India once, and try some great food … I wanted to be vegetarian while there, simply because it was so good. The guys thought they were being helpful pointing out meat dishes everywhere we went, but it was typically an afterthought on the menus, not well prepared, not worth eating.

— In an American restaurant the focus is on meat and it is well prepared so that’s what I’m looking for

— in my limited experience with restaurants in India, the focus was on foods that didn’t have meat, and was very well prepared, so that’s what I’m looking for

As long as the vegetarian option is a substitute, or an option, or doing without, rather than the focussing on a good meal, most of will have no reason to select it, no reason to expect it to be a good choice

Yeah all Indians are vegetarians and look exactly like this /s

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

A lot of Indian cooking is vegetarian, not vegan. Ghee is very often used.

I would kill myself if I had to eat Indian food regularly. Perfumed slop. Indian "cuisine" is by far the worst in the world.

No animals were harmed except for the ones Impossible tested on.

im-vegan btw.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Yeah I don't get the whole "replace meat with a vegan steak" idea. Just prepare a delicious Dahl, the recipe of which has been around for hundreds of years!

There's actually a lot of plant based meat that are chemical / preservative free, Redefine Meat comes first to mind. As there is a lot of animal meat that is full of chemicals, preservatives, carcinogens, and antibiotics use.

I would only assume most fast food meals, meat ones included, are not chemical / preservative free. That's a western fast food problem, vegan or not.

Lastly, vegan people broadly don't eat plant based meats. Like it get the joke... It's just broadly inaccurate. Meat eaters, people trying to eat less meat, and some vegetarians buy plant based meats.

Literally everything in this sentence is wrong.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Thank you, it drives me nuts when people say shit like "chemical-free". Everything is made out of chemicals, tell me which one otherwise I'll just assume you're uneducated and afraid of things you can't pronounce.

My dude... Says who? You? It's not hard to Google - you find lists of them when you do.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

"plant-based" is not "meat". Are there "meat-based plants?"

All food is comprised of "chemicals".

Chemical free food? Everything is a chemical. Not hard to google that

usians cannot imagine consuming a treat that does not involve murder. They will literally pay a premium and spend billions in R&D to get non-murder treats to taste more like murder.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Most vegans in the US do not eat food that mimics meat.

Most Western butt holes cannot handle Indian food that well. The couple times I went to Indian weddings, I was clamoring for anything that would not burn my butthole. The good combined with the ridiculous amount of alcohol made the toilets cry.
