Is that true? To me and my dad it doesn't taste like soap, but to my brother, sister, and mother it does. So did I inherit flavor genes from my father while the rest of my family got them from my mother?

What would people have said if there was no such thing as soap and they tasted cilantro? Would they still think it was bad?

I think about this with rosewater. People say it tastes like perfume, but I really like it.

Well do you think soap tastes good? Because even if soap didn't exist, if you tasted something like that then why would you suddenly like it? People say it tastes like soap because it's an easy point of reference for why they think it tastes bad, it's not the fact that it's soap that makes people dislike that taste

The cilantro thing isn't an on/off switch like it's usually described, it's a slightly increased sensitivity to a certain aroma, which has like a 10% effect on how people report whether they like or dislike cilantro. Plenty of people who "have the gene" still like cilantro, it's primarily about whether you're accustomed to it or not.

Depending on the meat I consider it very ethical. In my freezer I still have a lot of venison from a deer my father-in-law shot. This one death of an animal has fed me and my family numerous times already and will continue to do so. It lived a good life, free and natural and it's net environmental impact was positive.

As opposed to a block of tofu which represents the deaths of many voles and feild mice killed by combine harvesters as well billions of insects killed by spraying poison all over the plants, poisoning not just the bugs but the plants and soil as well. My venison roast I will cook tonight is far, far more ethical than most vegetarian foods.

I think this is a big part of it. For me it's more that cilantro seems to overpower everything and so all I get is the acrid soap taste. I did once have a mango salad where there was just a little in there and the other flavors were so strong that it all balanced and was nice.

I really don't get the strong reaction people have to calling almond milk almond milk since it's clearly milky and generally used in the way milk is used. No one has a problem with almond butter being called butter.

It's misleading, and intentionally so. Walmart is selling some misspelled shit like chickin tenders, right next to the chicken. The chickin is just bugs and heavily processed plant material. And look at this shit. Do you think this isn't being intentionally deceptive when it's literally labeled egg, and sold next to the eggs? It's bugs and heavily processed plant chemicals too, and contains no eggs.

But the point is that veganism is not inherently any more healthy than being a regular old vegetarian or a normal person who simply eats a decent amount of vegetables, and in many (most) cases where the vegan retard is retarded and doesn't consider that they're cutting out essential parts of their diet, it's less healthy. And then on top of that, it's not any more "ethical" than any other lifestyle unless the person goes full tinfoil and starts exclusively growing their own food.

>>20373274
Regardless of your stance on labeling of non-dairy milk products, what a retarded take. Nut butters are an entirely different food item from butter, nobody confuses the two because they're not even remotely close to being the same or even similar things. You don't substitute fucking peanut butter for frying a grilled cheese you psychopath.

I guess I just don't care? I see a reason for there to be egg substitutes and beside eggs is the best place. I assume people are smart enough to read labels and if they're not that's their problem.

It's baffling to me how this shit in particular is allowed. The label is literally contradicting itself, they call the product "Egg" without even bothering to do the stupid different spelling shit to claim it's legally distinct or whatever and like an inch below that in fine print says "Egg-free". In what world does this pass any kind of labeling standard? There is no argument in favor of this that makes any sense.

[Anonymous No.20373336]

>>20373304
That product is actually deceptive though, it's labeled "just egg" which any sane person would assume means it's made of eggs. I agree that buying pre-scrambled liquid eggs is fucking dumb, but if a lazy person buys them, eats them, and dies because they're allergic to whatever not-egg things it's made of, then that's kind of fucked up because they had no clear reason to believe they were consuming anything other than eggs.

The unknown can be scary. It's actually Montaigne's postulate that humans are afraid of death because of it's unknown.
That's why you aprehend the first day of school or work, because of the unknown. But once familiar this fear disapears.

You're right about almond butter (as well as other nut butters). I think the distinction in that case would be that almond butter, peanut butter, etc. were never intended, expected, or marketed to be seen as a butter-alternative or butter-substitute and the term "butter" in this context has always been meant to describe the texture and spreadability. Margarine, on the other hand, is an alternative to butter, which is why the closest they can legally get to calling themselves "butter" is "I can't believe it's not".
Coconut milk, also, had been around for ages and people simply understood "milk" to mean "white, thick beverage" not as some sort of milk replacement.
Still, if it was the price to pay in order to stop the misuse of the term "milk", I'd be okay renaming nut and seed butters to "spreads" or something.

It doesn't taste like vomit, it smells like it. Which it should because it's made using a process that produces the same stuff in your vomit, butyric acid.

It's also mildly addictive which is par for the course for American fast food.
