A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

you think good tofu will make people give up their cultural foods and farming tradition?
I'd say people have already given up on farming tradition, you have any idea what goes on in those places? It's nothing like it was 100 years ago. Those foods in question are produced as quickly and cheaply as possible at the animal's expense. Not to mention the consumer's! I'm not missing out on anything except stress and growth hormones by not eating meat. Maybe some parasites too. Besides, the spices are where the real flavor has always been. I obviously don't think change will happen overnight but I highly recommend you give some extra-firm tofu a second chance, maybe drain, deep fry it and pour on some sweet and sour sauce- you might just be surprised! lmk if you need a recipe. Hummus is really great too, if you need more proof vegan food can be indulgent and exciting
I already drink Soylent and huel. I'm not saying anything about the palletability of vegan food. you seem to be the one fixated on taste.
ok yeah, cool but that explains EVERYTHING right there, imo. I'm sure they're not that bad but you couldn't pay me to try either of those tbqh- I'll eat some fruit, thanks
i drank a lot of huel (though i did skip a lot of the flavors) and i have to say i don't think it's great. every flavor is too sweet EXCEPT the unflavored unsweetened, but that was a chore to drink. by contrast, i just started drinking soylent original powder and i like it a great deal.
