Would anyone care to share their Vegan recipes? I plan to take Veganuary extremely seriously this year.

Indian food is an easy go-to. They've been working out how to make plants taste good for thousands of years. Vegetables, chickpeas, lentils, coconut milk, tomato, lots of spices and garlic, tastes good.

I'm pretty new to it but these are the ingredients I found most helpful (that as an omnivore I didn't know about)

nutritional yeast aka nooch - cheesy unami flavour that goes with everything, and contains several B vitamins that you don't really get from plants, not to mention it's almost entirely protein. I mix it into most things I cook, especially things like rice, sauces, guacamole.

textured vegetable protein - basically defatted soy, but I don't buy the phytoestrogen thing anymore anyway. It's pretty flavorless on its own, but it's great for replacing meat in things like chili (or even snacking on it plain >in dry form).

Also, good overview of arguments for eating oysters even if you're a vegan: https://sentientist.org/2013/05/20/the-ethical-case-for-eating-oysters-and-mussels/

Aint oysters nonvegan though? I read the article and it seems like it's still a living being. It doesn't have a nervous system but something very similar that allows it to react to pain and think, sort of like a brain and a nerval cord.

Plants actually have a conscience, they communicate. Maybe they don't have feelings like us mammals, but they do sense.

Reacting to stimuli is different than having feeling, emotions and thinking
I can't believe anyone is this retarded

The fact that people are arguing over whether a quivering pile of mucus and muscle in a shell is ethical to eat or not really goes to show just how retarded veganiggers are.

I COULD give you a special vegan recipe I have, OR I could walk away and save the rest of my night from arguing this convince you being vegan isn't worth it.
The main reasons people start being vegan, besides virtue signalling for hipster girls, are: health, environmentalism, and ethics. I will now debunk all of these.
First of all, health. Unless you have some sort of disease or defect that makes eating meat painful, there is no benefit. Meat has fat and proteins you won't get outside of importing dozens of plants that all pale in comparison to meat.
Animals are raised on land that would not support all the wasteful farming habits your lettuce takes. All the cows in the world do not make the gases even one factory makes. Animals also facilitate turning the inedible parts of plants into fertilizer for more plants or directly into more food as meat.
Finally, ethics. There is no ethical consumption under capitalism, every leaf of lettuce you eat is grown on the back of what amounts to slave labor, if the treatment of humans you don't know means nothing to you then why should animals you've never met mean anything. Maybe focus less on cows and more on the chinese poaching and eating pangolins, tigers and elephants into extinction.

>there is no benefit
Basically every scientific study disagrees with you there.
>animals are raised on land that would not support all the wasteful farming habits your lettuce take
Carrying capacity doubles under a vegan diet (without imports)

>ethical whataboutism
garbage-tier philosophy, and most vegans will probably by fair-trade and local shit anyway.

Try harder. You likely just parroted all of that nonsense from an anti-vegan youtuber.

>basically every scientific study
Except that isn't the case. There's about a million survey studies that aren't really scientific because asking people about their diet and health without confirming anything doesn't prove a damn thing. The only experimental tests have shown that there is no significant health difference in terms of cardiovascular indicators, weight gain, cancer risk, etc. between all diets in the world, with the singular exception of the mediterranean diet which is experimentally proven to be the best for cardiovascular health. It also features animal products.
The consistent data from experimental, actual science shows that the principal benefit of being vegan is that vegans are generally health conscious to begin with, so they exercise more, eat less, drink less alcohol, smoke fewer cigarettes, and generally have healthier life-styles than other non-health conscious people.
>carrying capacity doubles under vegan diets
It was highest under ovolacto- and lactovegetarian, neither of which are vegan. Read your own article.
>ethical whataboutism
The only legitimate argument for veganism is the ethical one, and there's nothing wrong with that. If you want to put less harm in the world, good on you and keep at it.
But stop pushing this bullshit that veganism is scientifically supported to be god's gift, because it's not. Make your moral decision to be a better person and live with it. You don't need to bullshit pseudo-science to justify that.

You can avoid being this wrong by just doing some research yourself. Here's a recent meta-analysis:
https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10408398.2016.1138447
"This comprehensive meta-analysis reports a significant protective effect of a vegetarian diet versus the incidence and/or mortality from ischemic heart disease (−25%) and incidence from total cancer (−8%). Vegan diet conferred a significant reduced risk (−15%) of incidence from total cancer."

>It was highest under ovolacto- and lactovegetarian
With no-import, yes. The study found that carrying capacity doubles under vegan diet. Your claim that animals are a good use of land is a common youtube myth which the study debunks.

>stop pushing this bullshit that veganism is scientifically supported to be god's gift
Weird and obvious strawman.

I was wrong. Don't try harder. Just go away.

ANIMALS AREN'T PEOPLE. THEY DO NOT HAVE FEELINGS. STOP ANTHROPOMORPHIZING THEM. Jesus, it's like talking to children who think cartoons are real. Eat some fucking meat and get over it, dumb veganiggers.

It doesn't taste like chicken

I personally can't stand most vegans trying to guilt trip others into being vegan. I know what animals go through is tough but I didn't convert to being vegan because someone guilt tripped me into being one. I did it out of health reasons. The compassion for animals came much later. Either way, if someone chooses to eat meat, they should be able to make that choice.

I truly believe there are greater corruptions on this earth that need to be brought to light, and this animal suffering, while bad, is nowhere compared to the state our society is currently being guided by extremely evil and powerful people, who see human beings no different than a slaughterhouse sees a cow.
