raven,

When people complain about vegan diets lacking in x, y, or z I always point out that our diets are culturally balanced, as well as being balanced by the addition of vitamins to staple foods. If we all became deficient in say, iron, we would start fortifying iron in our water, flour, salt, rice etc, while at the same time we would culturally move towards eating more black beans and spinach than we currently do. When an individual removes a food group from their diet, it’s only reasonable that you will have to intentionally rebalance your diet in other places. This isn’t a deficiency inherent in a vegan diet.

If you have to supplement a vitamin or mineral that’s just part of your diet, so don’t @ me with your natural=good nonsense.

The only thing vegans need to supplement with is B12. Everything else can be had from a balanced diet.

raven,

Once you discover nutritional yeast it’s hard not to get enough B12.

Don’t forget Monster energy drinks! /s sort of. I take a supplement though lol

Emma_Gold_Man,

Depends. Not all nutritional yeast is B12 fortified

raven,

Thanks for the warning, didn’t know that was a thing!

TheCaconym,

Nooch does not contain B12. It is sometimes added to it, perhaps even often in the US ? but in the EU for example I’ve never ever seen B12-fortified nooch.

raven,

Oh really? I didn’t know they made it without. I just checked mine and it says it has >100% of all the b complex vitamins in a serving (2 tbsp). I do live in the US but I got mine online.

Engevita Nutritional Yeast has B12 right on the front of the packaging. It's the most common brand in the UK. We're not in the EU anymore sadly but it's been the most common brand (only brand really) here for well over a decade now.

Also Vitamin D. You are not doing shit with merely getting sunlight, without having some D2 or D3 in body to breakdown and fuel. That comes from dairy for us Indians.

Elgenzay,

america bad

wombat,

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.

hiddengoat,

Holy shit, there are still dinks out there that are trying to make "USian" a thing? I thought all of you nad-nudgers died of with kuro5hin.

Kanda,

Clearly it should be Americunts

Gorillatactics,

If I can’t recreate it in my kitchen with a food processor and a pestle and mortar its too complicated and im not eating it.

hiddengoat,

American food mentality.

doctorcrimson,

Ah man, if I see one more west coast white lady in a YT short explaining their 5min superfood meal prep when we all know there is 0% chance she swallows a single bite of food with that much exotic pepper and ginger…

I’m gonna fry rice and quinoa in Pineapple pulp out of SPITE.

SaniFlush,

I love me some mango curry

    Yeah I wasn’t kidding, I tried mango curry before and it’s awesome. Also this interface doesn’t show downvotes.

    portside,

    I love Mangalore foods. I’m a big fan. I need to explore local dishes next time I’m there

    The secret is that meat on its own is garbage. Instead of using plants to make meat taste good (teriyaki, buffalo sauce, nearly a dozen herbs and spices, etc.), you can just use those plants to make plants taste good

    Jlafs,

    That’s a bit of a stretch. Meat + salt rarely disappoints me

    Beyond Meat Ingredients: Water, pea protein, expeller-pressed canola oil, refined coconut oil, rice protein, natural flavors, dried yeast, cocoa butter, methylcellulose, and less than 1% of potato starch, salt, potassium chloride, beet juice color, apple extract, pomegranate concentrate, sunflower lecithin, vinegar, lemon juice concentrate, vitamins and minerals (zinc sulfate, niacinamide [vitamin B3], pyridoxine hydrochloride [vitamin B6], cyanocobalamin [vitamin B12], calcium pantothenate[Vitamin B5]).

    Based on my light research, Beyond meat is not too bad, ingredient wise. If someone wants to chime in, I don’t see any preservatives either.

    But, but, but… Few ingredient good, many ingredient bad!!

    If only we could genetically engineer cows to grow NATURAL beyond meat burgers everyone would be happy... wait no...

    Mfw when ‘whole foods’ turns out to be a rule of thumb, not a lifestyle.

    KpntAutismus, (edited )

    we ate burgers with i think corn-based patties once. actually tasted better than a burger imo. definetely a carnivore, but the vegans sure have some dope alternatives.

    edit: omnivore would be more correct

    SpaceNoodle, (edited )

    Wrong. The fake meat in the top portion is overprocessed and tastes like garbage instead of delicious meat, while the bottom portion is 100% delicious vegan food.

    Edit: downvotes from people who hate vegan food, I guess.

    yukichigai,
    @yukichigai@kbin.social avatar

    Depends on the brand IMO. I actually really like Impossible Meat; to me it tastes like decent quality beef with some really good hard to place seasoning. If it wasn't so damn expensive I'd get it over actual ground beef.

    SpaceNoodle,

    It’s still overpriced and overprocessed. Ridiculous sodium levels as well.

    Omgarm,

    Nutella is vegan.

    zakobjoa,
    @zakobjoa@lemmy.world avatar

    It’s not, though?

    EmpathicVagrant,

    I mean . . . is it or not, because your punctuation confuses the matter.

    starman2112,
    @starman2112@sh.itjust.works avatar

    The question mark denotes confusion or flabbergastedness. Nutella contains milk, so it’s explicitly not vegan

    Neato,
    @Neato@kbin.social avatar

    They were referring to the comma. Commonly used with a verbal pause. So like: "It's not...though?" As if the "though?" was its own thought and the only part of the sentence that had the question inflection.

    dogslayeggs,

    That’s the point. Indian food is rarely vegan.

    bloubz,

    Dotworlders are so weird

    yukichigai,

    Jello is not vegan.

    starman2112,

    That’s oreos you’re thinking of

    Klanky,

    Not a vegan, but a vegetarian. This is why I love Indian food. When food is made from the beginning to not include meat products, it doesn’t feel like it’s ‘missing’ anything.

    toxicbubble420,

    and they’re both delicious, nothing wrong here except animal exploitation

    yukichigai,
    @yukichigai@kbin.social avatar

    Let's not forget the Mediterranean cuisine either. Falafel. Hummus. Baba Ganouj, Dolmas... crap I've made myself hungry now.

    cyclohexane,

    That’s my people!

    zakobjoa,
    @zakobjoa@lemmy.world avatar

    North-East Mediterranean you’d be hard pressed to find anything vegetarian let alone vegan.

    I had a meal in Bosnia that was just four different kind of meats and the only non meat was a shit ton of raw onions.
