    Is tofu good and okay?

    Way late for the OP, but maybe someone stumbles upon this. Soybeans (and therefore tofu), have one of the best amino acid profiles of any bean. They have a ton of all of the essential amino acids, other than methionine, which all legumes lack.

    Misc 3+ months of trying and testing vegan protein powders

    I think this is the right section for a post like this. Wanted to share a project I've been working on since shortly after becoming vegan: veganproteinlab.com/best-vegan-protein-powders One of my biggest concerns when I went vegan was getting enough protein as an athlete. It was the main...

    Animals eat animals

    This is an interesting topic to me. @nobody, I think your thoughts are the standard ones I've come across so far, that we shouldn't interfere with predation. But at the same time, if you saw a small kitten yelping for help from some animal attacking it, wouldn't it make sense to help?
