If only I could buy it.

I'm closer to a carnivore than a vegan, but if something is good, it's good. I'm not going to hate on something delicious because I feel threatened by someone else's life choices.

Don't worry, farmers; if I start eating vegan cheese I promise I'll make up for it in beef consumption.

[–] DumbAceDragon@sh.itjust.works 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

A lot of vegan "alternatives" are actually really good when you know what you're doing with them. I will take tofu or mushrooms over meat any day tbh. Problem is some people don't know that and will just prepare tofu like it's meat, and then wonder why their tofu tastes like shit.

I tried tofu multiple times in different meals as a alternative for meat, but sadly all were disappointing. Do you have recipes that you can recommend? I am eager to find one.

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Stir fry

A lot of times I think the problem is trying to substitute the protein in a dish with tofu or something vegan. It's always going to be compared to the meat version. Should just try to find recipes that were tofu based to begin with, like mapo tofu.

[–] polle@feddit.de 0 points 4 months ago

I tried different recipes, but most of them were underwhelming, like the meal would be kinda the same without.

Stir fry how? Which type of tofu, pressed? And probably dipped in cornstarch?

Bro, insecure meat eaters are such pieces of shit.

[–] pulaskiwasright@lemmy.ml 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You realize this wasn’t meat eaters but cheese makers, right?

[–] Hawk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yes, and cheese often contains cow.

[–] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Holy shit, they put actual cows in cheese?

No. No they don't.

[–] nichtsowichtig@feddit.de 0 points 4 months ago

no, they just foribly impregnate cows every single year of their life, take away their calves the second they are born to take the milk from their overloaded udders until they collapse or stop being comercially viable. Then they are killed. Just like their male children a few weeks after being born.

The milk industry is arguably more cruel than the meat industry. We should reject both

What has eating meat got to do with cheese?

[–] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 0 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

a lot of cheeses use calf rennet.

Also cheese in general is a by product of the meat industry. You can't have a lactating cow without keeping it perpetually pregnant, Where do you think those calves go?

I promise you it ain't a nice meadow where they get to live out the rest of their "natural" lives frolicking

And then when the milk eventually dries up the dairy cow gets deadded too... FUN!

edit: if you're going to downvote me at least reply stating why you think i'm wrong

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.de 0 points 4 months ago

Also cheese in general is a by product of the meat industry.

Its more the other way around. Meat is the by product of creating milk. Not all meat is a by product, but some.

That is a rather clickbaity title, with some rage baity jpurnalism right there.
