You claim to not consume animal products and yet I see you performing beta-oxidation as we speak. Very peculiar.

Also before you say that it's different because you consent, mitochondrion by definition cannot consent.

Checkmate ~~atheists~~ ~~liberals~~ vegans

Debate lords are universal lol

If there’s one line I learned from vegan sidekick is this: “Why are you putting me under all this scrutiny and no one else?”

You merely adopted the basement. I was born in it. Molded by it. I didn't see grass until I was already a manchild, by then it was nothing to me but ad hominem.

I've just stopped elaborating anymore, it takes too much energy. When someone asks why are you a vegan, what about X, I just say "many reasons.", "its working out so far".

I've found it I say the usual "don't like killing animals or the climate" I get pushback but if I just tell them I have gout, they back off. They even ask if I've had a flair up and get all doughy-eyed when I say I haven't had one in 2 years lol. Idk why it's a surprise when I cut out one of the big 2 major culprits for flair-ups completely and drastically cut out my beer intake which is the other culprit but whatever, they seem to like the answer.

The protein point is so incredibly trite. Have these gentlemen ever seen a horse? engels-wut

[–] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 1 points 9 months ago

literally the first thing they ask, always.

"Buh protein though!??" also "Remember to take your pills to get all that the nutrients you need!"

like goddamn, it's so great how they ask this from all the carnists too. just fuck off, god.

Gorillas are more swole than they'd ever think to be lol

[–] windowlicker@hexbear.net 1 points 9 months ago

it’s incredibly easy to get ~100g of protein a day in without eating a single animal product. a good amount of tofu in each meal will get you there really quickly.

Someone should make a brand of seitan marketed towards body builders and gym bros. 3x as much protein as beef! How do you beat that.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 1 points 9 months ago

Told my gym going co worker, I wouldn't call him a gym bro but he's working out about how stupid protein dense seitan is and he's all over it now

“Oh? Want to own the libs? Eat seitan! While those soyboys are having their recreational gluten free diet, eat PURE GLUTEN!”

Hitler’s choice: putting the BASED in plant-based.

Tf is seitan? How much protein?!

[–] Owl@hexbear.net 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Seitan is a food you make by extracting just the gluten from wheat, making a dough of that, kneading the hell of of it, then cooking it. It's 75% protein by mass.

Pure seitan is tough and aggressively bland, but mixing a little of just about anything into the flour fixes both of those. In my opinion, a good seitan recipe has the best texture of any meat.

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

thanks comrade. My roommate (and close friend) does bodybuilding, I'll make him some seitan.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 1 points 9 months ago

It's sort of a building block food, you can really flavor it to taste like just about anything. Vegan place I worked at did seitan donair for example. It's a little tricky to make but after a few tries you'll have it going well
