Supper/Dinner Time! What's on the menu ?

I get that most of you are concerned about not eating meat, but shouldn't health be a consideration? Add life to your years? Mostly, albeit delicious with centuries of food science, vegan junk is listed in this post. Your health is a concern because it affects everyone and I care about you.

Health is a concern for everyone, not just vegans. I'm not sure what "vegan junk," you're referring to, but I pretty much make all my proteins from scratch, with a few exceptions (not that I have to justify my food choices to anyone).

I'm not vegan for health reasons, though it's a nice byproduct of being vegan for the animals. Everything in moderation. Even with the occasional vegan processed cheese or pre-made vegan proteins (I like Gardein fishless filets and the 7-grain tenders!), I eat way healthier as a vegan than I ever did before I went vegan.

100 years ago, being vegan meant you had to be healthy. Now it's just another tribal word that inspires competition and facebook fights. Anything with added sugar, fat, and salt is junk. Vegan has been hijacked by the same entities producing non-vegan junk.

A white aubergine & soya mince bake made in the air fryer. Topped with Applewood
vegan cheese and fresh basil and served with a tossed salad; lamb's lettuce, gem lettuce,
cherry tomatoes from the garden, sliced avocado, vinaigrette/yeast flakes.

Apple puree with a few drops of vanilla plus a dollop of Alpro soya yogurt/sweetener.

100 years ago there wasn't even the term 'vegan' :laughing: 🙄
You seem pretty bent on competition and fights here. If you can't accept the concept of animal rights without injecting your own personal health goals into the discussion WHY are you on a VEGAN FORUM?

I think I'll have a soy burger with melted vegan cheese, a store bought pickle, and a side of potato chips

When the term vegan was invented it simply meant a real vegetarian; i.e. one who eats only foods of vegetable origin. It had nothing to do with health. It certainly didn't exist 100 years ago!

I really had an ear of corn with my mayo and nooch and an orange :ignore:
I'd really like a store bought pickle, just don't know what kind, I'm really particular. Something like Claussens

Because your health is an illustration of how all our health affects everyone around us. So does your example. Your pride in short-term external happiness will affect generations after you. Same as generations following illicit drug addicts.

And they're not my health goals. I'm just another schmuck with the internet. My opinion doesn't matter. I'm a parrot for the best balance of current evidence. Evidence that says your habits are hurting everyone around you. Including the animals you want to protect so dearly.
 
Whole wheat organic Italian tagliatelle with pesto sauce made with fresh basil,evo,pumpkin seeds
and a sprinkle of garlic granules. Served with both melted and grated Applewood, a huge sprinkle
of smoked chili flakes and some Cornish sea salt and cracked pepper.

A glass of chilled chardonnay.

I had a sandwich with my seitan and my smoked provolone I made from
View attachment 27789.
I did have a problem that caused the emulsion to separate--I was trying to use the non contact thermomether and, well, forgot how to use it :ignore:
It's still very very good, and i highly recommend that book! <3

Hi. I was thinking of buying a vegan cheese book, but I was worried I would turn into a chemist 😅 is it easy to follow?
I see you mention emulsion and thermometers 😁
