said as if it were a bad thing
No it isn't?
From the article:
Why are the Chinese not aiming for the Big Chungus physique? Why are they so scared of it? Could it be a CCP PROPAGANDA??
Yeah this one is very confusing. Tofu is delicious in Chinese food. Mapo tofu is one of the greatest treasures we have available to us. You can't "replace" the tofu in that dish with a meat, it wouldn't work at all.
The whole idea that something like tofu just exists without being a meat substitute is unimaginable to a lot of people
"meat substitution" type dishes are stupid anyway. There are thousands of years of delicious non-meat meals, built around the ingredients as they are. Dishes don't need meat at all to be delicious, just construct your dishes around the ingredients you have and they'll be wonderful. Trying to shoehorn in "replacements" just creates weird stuff.
Disagreeing heavily here. Chicken Nuggets are good as fuck and they basically nailed those in vegan form, which begs the question, why not?
I think chicken nuggets is a great example where it works because "real" "chicken" nuggets are basically meat substitute products anyway.
Agree'd, but we ain't starting at 0 and chicken nuggets were around to define the flavour before plant based alternatives were ever made, so yeah, they're a substitute. Good stuff though, would've been better if we never had to take the detour of the animal abuse
It's very much a cultural thing. A lot of cuisine in the americas is built around chattle culture. With the best land used for commodity cultivation, the ever moving, ever expanding peripheric frontier of american colonies was used for chattle ranching. 'Cowboy Culture' was invented by the spanish and the portuguese, after all. So all compositions follow a similar pattern. What type of meat, what type of cut, how to season it, and then what type of side dishes to accompany it.
Even here in Brazil where Rice+Black Beans is considered the staple food people will still add a serving of red or white meat to their plate as if they weren't already eating more protein than they probably need. Nevermind cutting meat entirely, having meat as a secondary or a tertiary aspect of a dish is culturally strange and something that would indicate poverty in most people's eyes.
the volatile American tends to get abnormally antsy and restless, especially when in the company of their peers. one instance that these symptoms may occur in is when ambient bloodlust isn't being maximized. to address this, they may need to be provided external enrichment to distract themselves with–for instance: burger that requires a saving throw to survive
These Amerikkkans looked at the myth of the wendigo, and just thought it was a model...
Literally the cringe American soylent green nightmare meat slop v.s. the based gigachad Chinese soybean-based plant protien.
The duality of soy.
Tofu and tempeh are both staples in my diet and last I checked I’m still alive.
oh yeah sorry meaning to say that american meat protein is literally soylent green type pink slime in the original sense. Various parts from like 9 different dead diseased mass produced animals, all of which spent their entire lives drowning in their own shit and piss, either sold whole or blended together and formed into patties for consumption.
shouldve specified I meant this instead of the reactionary use of "soylent" to mean plant based meat substitutes
And it's not like the article claims that the Chinese diet is some vegetarian or vegan one, according to the article almost 50% of the protein Chinese people eat comes from animal sources. Which is still a lot, and still expected to increase.
Is that meat consumption per capita or for the whole country
