My false-meat empanadas are the best.

Try using 50/50 minced meat/TVP and you won't notice the difference. I don't know how it behaves when doing meatballs or hamburguers, it probably crumbles if you don't add something else, but idk.

    This is deffinitely a bit, but lessgo

    • You know cows don't eat natural pastures right? You gotta fertilize the maize fields to then harvest it and feed it to the cow. "But some cows do eat natural pastures" yeah, not the ones feeding the 99% of people, but anyways you gotta tend those pastures with fertilizer and shit too. Every element that gets exported from that field in the form of meat needs to be replenished somehow or it will run out.

    • Vegans aren't against people having a cow pet you know? They can behave like a dog.

    • Who the fuck buys avocados from israel? That shit can grow anywhere, go get some trees, put them in a near park if you don't have a backyard or sidewalk and you'll have a shitton of avocados.

      feels more like a dunkfest than dialogue. i wouldnt extend the argument to extremist ecotopian primitivists, this is more about the casual supermarket shopper who buys a product that doesnt involve killing a cow but instead killing a whole allotment. of course buying the cow has the baggage of the latter and its own garbage on top. i explicitly stayed clear on that. the point is that a sane semi-normal human can try to not harm living creatures by eating if they aquire food from agroecology. animals are involved. maybe they are pets, but if that is acceptable why is milk not allowed for vegans? because of the involuntary involvement of sentiens into human processes. my argument is perfectly fit for vegetarianism advocacy fwiw
