woke vegan who also likes cooking and anime idols

[midori🌱 @LittleGveen]

Psa that cooking and sharing recipes is literally my favorite thing ever so if you are vegan or not feel always free to ask i promise i have so much to share! I especially love recreating foods i grew up with with cheap and nutritious whole food swaps :)

My favourite anti vegan argument is that "food is important in some cultures" sorry, I totally forgot because I come from a culture where we don't eat actually

@SheikahSlat3 @tinkabonk Hey so the difference is there is ethical ways to harvest cocoa but there is no way in which exploiting animal bodies isnt exploitation

@kadeaubron @RapeRonDeSantis One google search will tell you that humans can thrive on a plant based diet, making it not a must but a want

[midori🌱 @LittleGveen]

@ItsPinkPoky4 @Butchered_butch Respectfully, veganism is "meat bad". Theres definition to these things, dont just make stuff up

[midori🌱 @LittleGveen]

@damonslacefront Just want to mention that almond milk's water consumption isn't excessive at all of your point of reference is cow's milk

[midori🌱 @LittleGveen]

@Buddyboilol @aniaothj Seitan, tofu, tempeh, TVP, nutritional yeast, beans, lentils, hemp and pumpkin seeds, soy milk. Industrial meat substitutes are usually really high in protein too! Theres plenty of high protein vegan recipes online :)

@Buddyboilol @aniaothj If you have a genuine resolve to make a change i promise you can do it. Just remind yourself of your reasons to want to do so!

[midori🌱 @LittleGveen]

@Buddyboilol @aniaothj It might not be as easy for you but there is a lot of options! It's really all trial and error to find foods that work for you, but the internet is flooded with a variety of vegan recipes for you to try :)

[midori🌱 @LittleGveen]

@Buddyboilol @aniaothj If you have any specific dishes, flavors or textures you want to recreate i am glad to help you, but theres no "Just do this instead"

[midori🌱 @LittleGveen]

@Buddyboilol @aniaothj The point is choosing the vegan burger even if it isnt exactly the same, because that beef burger you will finish in ten minutes tasting 10% better is not worth what the cow had to go through for it.

@ryxtopia @flvtt3rsshy I work in a lab and by our lab safety guidelines i would have to wear gloves goggles and a mask when handling a piece of bacon

[midori🌱 @LittleGveen]

@flvtt3rsshy Plant based diets being in average healthier and cheaper and more sustainable is more a nice little perk. Like i am doing the right thing and I just happen to win by every other metric as well!

@Jane3t4_pb_cat Comparing just means finding similarities and differences. Both women and animals are sentient beings who should have bodily autonomy, and are capable of feeling hurt. Yet both groups get that bodily autonomy stripped from them for pleasure. Thats not calling women animals.

Tofu Katsu Curry i made with my beautiful partner

[midori🌱 @LittleGveen]

Yesterdays dinner.. curry type soup with spinach, tofu, gyoza and bok choy as toppings :)

@crinklygatherin @Buddyboilol @aniaothj For breaded and fried variants you can use oyster mushrooms again that you press flat while pan frying to get little schnitzel, or you can also do enoki(asian grocery store) in a wet batter deep fried, they are beautifully stringy and tender kinda like a chicken tender

[midori🌱 @LittleGveen]

@crinklygatherin @Buddyboilol @aniaothj For gyros: oyster mushrooms! You simply tear it into shreds and pan fry in oil with a lot of seasonings(cumin, paprika, ground coriander, nutritional yeast). They get decently crispy and the firmer stem retains a really good bite :) serve with a soy yoghurt tsatziki + greek salad
