maintenancephase.buzzsprout.co ← There's a section in this #MaintenancePhase episode where Aubrey speculates on why there's a widespread "I hate them because they are smug" attitude about #vegetarians and #vegans, and it tracks so hard that I always pull it out whenever I see someone pulling that shit.

> Michael: Right. We talked about this in our vegetarianism episode. I know this when it happened, but we also get the social construction of vegetarians and vegans as holier than thou. I mean, I have not met a vegan like this, but this idea of, “They're constantly scolding you and they think they're better than you and all this stuff.” I remember this stuff from the 90s.

> Aubrey: Can I tell you my theory about where that comes from? So, listen, we talked about this a little bit in our food pyramid episode that there was this push by doctors to define vegetarianism as the heart healthiest diet of the thing you ought to pursue and cut out animal products. But I think that folks were feeling really judged by that and externalized that response to feeling judged as like, “They're always preaching to you.”

[Thread] Alright then. Let's get the #SolarPunkSunday ball rolling! I will be sharing recipes for eating on a budget, but some of them involve eggs -- which are off the menu for my vegan friends, and might be off the menu for others as well. My favorite egg substitute? Tofu! Extra firm #Tofu can be used as a substitute for scrambled eggs, and silken tofu is great for making desserts and other goodies. Here are some links to recipes and tips and tricks involving #EggSubstitutes!

First off...

The Best Tofu For Egg Substitute: A Must-read For #Vegans And #Vegetarians!

What To Know

Whether you’re making a scramble, a quiche, or a tofu-based dessert, it’s important to choose the right type of tofu for the task at hand.
It can be used in dishes where you want the tofu to have a similar texture to eggs, such as scrambles and quiches.
Baked tofu is a great alternative to eggs in dishes where you want the tofu to have a chewy texture, such as tofu hot dogs or tofu sandwiches.

What Is The Best Tofu To Use For An Egg Substitute?

1. Firm tofu: This tofu has a dense and chewy texture, making it a good substitute for eggs in baking recipes.
2. Silken tofu: This type of tofu has a soft and smooth texture, making it a good substitute for eggs in sauces, dressings, and smoothies.
3. Extra-firm tofu: This type of tofu has a firm and meaty texture, making it a good substitute for eggs in stir-fry recipes.
4. Tofu scramble: This is a quick and easy way to use tofu as an egg substitute. Simply crumble tofu and cook it in a pan with spices and vegetables.
5. Tofu mayonnaise: This is an easy and healthy way to make mayonnaise without using eggs. Simply blend tofu with lemon juice, mustard, and seasonings.

Vegetarian diets of our ancestors.

A new study has found that Australopithecus diet was mainly plant based and that it was a few million years later that a hunter lifestyle for meat was followed. It is possible that some animal protein was gained by eating eggs, but on the whole Australopithecus ate a vegetarian diet. Examination of teeth enamel found that the nitrogen levels were low indicating a diet comprising of vegetation.

Discover Magazine · A Diet Discovery Reveals That Our Ancestors Were Once VegetarianBy Jack Knudson

Really silly question for #vegans and #vegetarians.
Its not a gotcha or political but just something my brain farted out and I decided I needed the wisdom of the veggy fed on the matter.

If a food product has flavouring that simulates meat but contains no animal products, would you try/eat the product?
