Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Might end up going vegan just to not die of a zoonotic wasting disease at this point
I don't want to pretend that none of this will affect me, but it's probably a lot less stressful than for the carnists.
I do wonder if there's ever a point when carnists start thinking that maybe their animal treats aren't worth having a new deadly disease every few years
Most of the deadliest illnesses through history are from human contact with animals. The flu and chlamydia come from birds, anthrax from cows, smallpox from camels, mumps from either bats or pigs, etc.
So no, probably not. :doomer:
People were predicting zoonotic pandemics for years, and we were screaming about it in mid 2020. I never thought we'd be so right so fast, but here we are.
Didn't know flu could be transferred thru meat. I've been vegetarian sort of on accident for a couple months now, guess it's now on purpose.
The main thing keeping me from going vegan is some good cheese substitutes. Love me some parmegiano. Seaweed works for certain tastes, but the Italian ones are hard to replace.
I don't remember recipes off the top of my head, so no measurements:
Parmigiano: Mince some cashews and Nutritional Yeast. Nutritional yeast by itself is often suggested, but the cashews add a new layer. This is more expensive than knock-off "parmesans" but not far off from an artisan Parmigiano.
Ricotta: silken tofu is the key here. Again, cashews and Nutritional yeast. Blitz everything in a food processor, takes like 2 minutes. Great in lasagne.
Mozzarella: heat up cashew milk in a saucepan, add a thickener (usually xanthan gum and tapioca starch). Tbh this was annoying and I never got it right, so I just buy vegan mozzarellas.
-- When buying vegan cheeses, note that they don't really melt like dairy cheese, especially the "shreds". Look for a liquid vegan cheese, or introducing an oil can make it meltier. The shreds work pretty well for quesadillas
Awesome! Thank you so much!
