In terms of value, sprouts. Produce is about 1-2$ more at Whole Foods than Sprouts.

Whole foods has a larger variety of exotic groceries though.

Its a horrible grocery store. I used to run the kitchen for an independent place similar to WF but way nicer and with a large prepared food collection. They came in and asked to sell it to them. The owner refused and they said he could buy it or they'd buy the lot directly across from them and build one there.

Once WF took over nothing got made in house anymore. We used to have sushi chefs and get fresh fish daily. They fired them and outsourced it to some national company. Everything now came in a bag and you just mixed the bags together or just take the bag, heat it up, and pour it out. They also required cut gloves and gloves full time which any cook knows is bullshit and we were all professionals that worked at a chill, classy place and had been there for a while so we made great money and stayed after the change. One by one all of us ended up leaving and they would just hire some random college kid who couldn't cook for shit of course there was very little actual cooking involved then.

We used to get all of our meat locally as well and a lot of our fruits, veggies, and dairy. They stopped working with them and set it up with their "local farmers"

It's probably the cheapest place to shop for food that's remotely edible, but they've taken a nosedive since Amazon, dropping a lot of the more niche stuff and replacing it with commodity tier "USDA organic" crap. Like you can't even get Maple Hill greek yogurt there, it's all fucking Oikos or that icelandic crap, or that insane cashew yogurt made for people who like the idea of yogurt more than they actually like yogurt.

Also it is literally the most wh*teoid place ever, 8000 square feet of USDA organic yoga mats and aromatherapy beads, but only 3 kinds of soy sauce and they're either Kikkoman Lite or "Eden organic" which I assume is some kind of special nonsense made specially for melanoma Beckies who need to sue their way into a good university.

On the bright side they have Grumpy beans for cheaper than at the actual Grumpy store and as long as you avoid the one in Chelsea and stick to the one at Columbus Circle it's usually roasted that week.

In the last couple of years I've been increasingly just getting normal staples at HMart and the rest just comes from CSA, the greenmarket, and the occasional trip over to Harlem Shambles.

Breast milk is vital to an infant’s development. No sound person vegan or otherwise would declassify that as vegan. If the mother is so concerned about breast milk for whatever reasons then formulas exist. And lmao how exactly is yeast not vegan?

>insect and rodent fragments
You’re going to have to be more specific about this. This isn’t in every food and it’s an inevitability in stuff like grains, you literally cannot stop it. It is not the purposeful or even actual slaughter of animals. This including the rest of your memes are entirely reduced by a plant based diet. Veganism is about harm reduction. But you don’t think about these things do you?

Because those people aren’t sound. Soy milk and apple juice is not going to keep a child healthy. That’s not a critique of veganism specifically, that’s a critique of awful parenting. Would you say animal products are awful because a baby died from malnutrition only drinking cow blood and fish oil?

Bullshit. Agriculture is only sustainable if it's done small scale, with traditional methods. Small scale requires both plant and animal production to maintain the soil and reduce waste. Veganism is a product of factory farming and clever marketing, there's nothing ethical or sustainable about it.

Not all terms that marketing departments use are regulated, and that's not just a US phenomena. "Free range," for example, has a specific, legal meaning in the US and a manufacturer that falsely claims it will be fined, or potentially shut down; "natural" has no official meaning in the context of meat, so Whole Foods can just slap that onto anything. Turkeys are legally required to be hormone and antibiotic free, but some manufacturers will still stick it on the label and charge extra. If you really care about food quality learn which words and certifications actually matter and read the label. 90+% of consumers never do this, so manufacturers have very little incentive to outright lie.

>"natural" has no official meaning in the context of meat
Additionally, it can never really have an official meaning such its literal meaning is so vague. By any reasonable definition, any product derived from agriculture is fully unnatural since domesticated crops and livestock are only the product of thousands of years of artificial tampering. The only food you could ever argue is natural is foraged shit, and thats fully unsustainable

It 100% will not be able to be marketed as natural, and that is one of the largest problems with bringing it to market, the very people most interested in an alternative to natural meat are also the people most likely to avoid things that are not "natural"

Similar to this is that cheese production traditionally requires enzymes harvested from the stomachs of slaughtered calves, meanwhile we can make the exact same enzymes in yeast with GMO technology, but then they cannot be called GMO free when the very people who think GMO free is a good thing are the same ones who think we should not be allowed to kill calves

[Anonymous No.11455799]

>>11455723
Vegans seem pretty willing to eat frankenfood when it's meat free "meat." The cheese thing doesn't really work out because replacing the enzymes doesn't make it vegan and dairy eating vegetarians are practically non-existent, but you could probably sell shag carpeting mixed with shit if it was labeled as a vegan meat substitute.

I'm just pissed off that the lab meat meme has set back my $0.99/lb cricket meat by at least another 10 years.

From everything I've heard, Vegans were enthusiastic about the idea of lab-grown meat.
Non-vegan vegetarians tend to be more concerned about eating "natural" and less concerned about ethics.
However plenty of vegans tend to prioritize ethics in choosing their general diet, and are OK with synthetic or processed ingredients as long as they're not derived from animal products.
