    Vegans are just voicing their truth. This “practical solutions” nonsense is just moving goal posts.

    Vegan diets are perfectly sustainable for most people and eating large amounts of terrestrial mammals (as opposed to fish and bugs) is maybe a historically newer phenomena than we’d like to think, especially on a culture by culture basis (japan for instance has mostly subsisted on vegetables and seafood, as have most coastal cities historically)

    The idea people have to beef every day or whatever is partly a product of beef industry marketing and corporate culture. Culture at least changes. Look what the tomatoes from the americas did to italian cuisine decades after it was imported.



  • Cashew based cheeses can replace a lot of cheese sauces. I’ve successfully used mustard based sauces creatively to substitute for things like macaroni but imo for pizza I would just go with cheeseless options.

    Tomatoes and kalamata olives can do a lot on their own. If i had a research facility I’d start with tofu and natto and try to get fermentation strains that worked on like pinto beans.

    I’ve been given the “corporations should be able to run their business how they want and government shouldn’t ban things like they banned weed” too many times on lemmy.

    We should ban for profit corporations from doing certain things, this is one of them. We know they’re using the money as a tax writeoff. Ban this shit. Not everything is drugs.

    Edit: looks like afaik its not tax deductible for corporations to do this though I would not put it past a small business or local manager to try it. I would prefer other methods for charitable donations other than how well they negotiate with box stores, etc.
