Where do vegans get their fat?

[Anonymous No.4223746]

>>4223743
Tofu, nuts, and olive oil are good sources of healthy fat.

so good for your skin dawg
So many vegans I know (mostly raw vegans) have such excellent skin I almost want to switch over

[Anonymous No.4223778]

>>4223774
you more or less get the same thing with vegetarianism. Hell you can probably eat meat a couple times a week and not have a break out. But go easy on the dairy that always seems to trigger mine.

2 bean chili

Carrots/White Onions/ Celery
Olive Oil
1 Can Diced Tomato (No salt added)
Zucchini
Cilantro
Cumin/Coriander/Salt/Pepper/Cayenne Pepper/Dried Oregano
Lime
Jalapeno/ Sliced and Diced
Black + Kidney Beans

Saute carrots, celery, onion w/ extra virgin olive oil (can use coconut oil as substitute.) Add water, zucchini, diced tomato, jalapeno, beans into pot. Add salt, pepper, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper and dried oregano (to taste). I added fresh cilantro into the pot as well. I am not big on measurments, but don’t go too crazy before the chili has had a chance to simmer- the flavors will taste better after it is done cooking- and remember you can always add. After you add everything into a large pot let the chili simmer for about 15-20 min. Add fresh cilantro and lime for garnish.

Could you do this with lentils?

[Anonymous No.4223797]

>>4223790
I'd say yes. Whenever I make something like this I generally add some lentils. If you want it like extra thick you can take out 1/4 (or more) and blend it then add it back in.

Aloo Baingan
Ingredients:

1 medium purple eggplant (baingan), un-peeled, cut into 1/2″ cubes
2 medium russet potatoes (aloo), peeled and cut into 1/2″ cubes
4 medium tomatoes (tamatar) cut into 1/2″ cubes
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (hara dhania)
1 tablespoon oil
Pinch of asafetida (hing)
1 teaspoon cumin seed
1 chopped green chili adjust to taste
1 teaspoon ginger paste (adrek)
1 tablespoon coriander powder (dhania powder)
1/2 teaspoon turmeric (haldi)
1/2 teaspoon paprika (dagi mirch)
1 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
2 tablespoons water
oil
Method

Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium high heat.
Frying pan should have at least 1 1/2 inch of oil. To check if the oil is ready, put one piece of potato in the oil. The potato should sizzle right away. If vegetables are fried in low heat they will be very oily.
Fry the potatoes till they are cooked through, turn the potatoes few times while frying. Take out potatoes with a slotted spoon (this allows excess oil to drip back into the frying pan) and place on a paper towel.
Test the oil again with a piece of eggplant. Fry the eggplant pieces same way.
In a small bowl, mix the shredded ginger, green pepper, coriander powder, paprika, turmeric, and 2 tablespoons of water to make a paste.
Heat the 1-tablespoon of oil in a pan. Test the heat by adding one cumin seed to the oil; if seed cracks right away oil is ready.
Add cumin seeds and asafetida after seeds crack add the spice mixture and stir-fry for a minute until you see the oil start to separate from the spice mixture.
Add chopped tomatoes stir-fry for a minute.
Add fried potatoes and eggplant mix it gently, let it simmer for three to four minute on medium low heat.
Subji should be not very dry if needed add three to four spoons of water.
Turn off the heat and add chopped cilantro mix it well.

I think she meant 1/2-1 inch of oil. having that much oil with how small everything is cut seems like overkill

I've been on a vegan diet for over a year.

>vegetarian
>grains are most prominent in diet
shouldn't it be called grainitarian?

[Anonymous No.4223963]

>>4223938
I think op's pic is of a diet plan largely adapted from old macrobiotic excluding fish and eggs. A lot of the diet planning and health advice vegans get is from ancient macrobiotics plans that have been changed to exclude meat, egg and dairy. (which are nearly non-existent in macrobiotics so it's not a very large change)

Even though I like to flavour meals with pork or chicken, sometimes beef, this is a useful reference.

yeah me too, I regard the textured vegetable protein as optional for mixed beans. I just wanted to contribute being this was for recipes.

[Anonymous No.4224048]

I bought some vegan dried and salted protein snacks. They were so loaded with fiber, I nearly shit my pants. They tasted pretty good though.

I'm so glad I was born with a brain capable of common sense.

[Anonymous No.4224734]

Yes, it's such a good idea to eat a diet invented in the 1940s which ignores millions of years of human dietary evolution.

We have canines and a short digestive tract for a reason.

[Anonymous No.4224745]

>>4224734
Our digestive tracts aren't short. Dogs are short. Vultures are short. Humans have relatively long digestive tracks. Having four canines isn't reason enough to eat meat, either. I've used mine to tear off melon rind several times.

Stop acting so edgy and scientific when you've got your fact wrong. Humans have been mainly herbivores and omnivores throughout history. It's not feasible for humans to have eaten mostly meat.

[Anonymous No.4224776]

>>4224734
>a diet invented in the 1940s
lol'd.

But yeah, have fun ripping apart raw flesh with your tiny canines.

[Anonymous No.4224844]

>>4224734
there are just so many things wrong with that post allow me to show you.
There's several peoples in india and southern asia that have been eating vegan for the better half of 4000 years.
A whole 4 canine teeth. You know chimpanzees have 4 inch fangs in their mouths?
The meat they eat is called insects. Do you wanna eat bugs because evolutionary science tells you it's what you're meant to eat? We have very little idea of what humans ate more than 12000 years ago (the start of human agriculture) btw the oldest fossils of modern humans are only 200,000 years old so don't give me that millions of years bullshit.

[Anonymous No.4224848]

>>4224844
Look, it thinks it understands science.
Maybe you should go back to school and learn to at least formulate/organize your ideas in a way thats comprehensible.

>The meat they eat is called insects
I really have no idea where this myth that the extent of chimpanzee meat eating is the occasional insect.

they are pack hunters
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZh9OzeEo

they are mostly seen eating fruit and leaves because that is the easier meal but don't fool yourself into believing they are not actively looking for something to kill

Ad hominem/refusal to argue a point.

[Anonymous No.4224871]

>>4224856
yeah I know they eat other monkeys but it's not really a large category in their diet. I was more opposed to the point that 4 teeth are a strong indicator of diet. Sure 95-98% of our Dna is the same but so are a lot of animals that eat vastly different from each other. I'm more opposed to the idea of trying to figure out what humans ate based on modern apes. Because they evolved too and trying to use they as an example of protohumans is flawed in itself.

[Anonymous No.4224882]

>>4224871
fangs are made for killing, but short sharp teeth are made for eating, that is the real difference. A cats fangs are used for kills but they are not actually ripping meat with those teeth.

[Anonymous No.4224890]

>>4224882
Indeed. Would you say that human teeth are any indicator of our diet or merely that we've and some of our progenitors have lived with technology for a very long time frame?

are they just vestigial at this point in our evolution?

[Anonymous No.4224892]

>>4224866
you don't have an argument stupid, for that you have to formulate a consistent testable statement and back it up with facts, your posts meander around like a schizo drunk hobo.

[Anonymous No.4224897]

>>4224892
there were four point made in the original argument and I argued 3. In the same informal manner they were presented. These kind of arguments rarely have a testable hypothesis on either side. (unless you have a way to resurrect a 200,000 year old human) If you want a citation based argument I suggest you start your mess with one.

[Anonymous No.4224904]

>>4224890
I find the indicator of our diet to be that humans can not digest cellulose which is something all herbivores and even many omnivores can do, that is a serious indicator that meat is a major component to the human diet since most plants are inedible to us.

[Anonymous No.4224915]

>>4224904
As far as the whole animal kingdom is concerned or just primates? Primates have fairly strange digestive tracks as far as mammals are concerned. Do you have any material on cellulose related to human digestion? Not related to the course of this debate but I need some legit nutritional science stuff to read.

[Anonymous No.4224934]

>>4224915
our ape brethren can digest it, all grazing animals can, it is the reason they can eat grass and we cant. A gorilla just walks around eating anything it can grab since it cant climb for fruit or anything. Humans just can't do it, if you try to eat the grass on your lawn it would be the same reaction a dog has where you just get kind of sick and throw it back up a little while later.

that is also why when people swallow corn whole it comes back out looking the same as it did when it went in.

[Anonymous No.4224986]

>>4224844

They haven't been eating vegan for 4000 years obaaaaama idiot.

>>4224776

Yes, we never smashed them against rocks or used tools either.

>>4224745

Yes, our digestive tract is short. Cows and other recombinants are long.

ITT: butthurt vegans try to reason against nature.

If you vegan faggots love animals so much, how come you eat the food our food eats?

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 8oz package of mushrooms, chopped
1 tablespoon minced sun dried tomatoes
3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 package firm tofu
3 tablespoons mascarpone cheese
5 wedges Laughing Cow light cheese
1 cup frozen chopped spinach, cooked and drained
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
1 small clove garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
10 lasagna noodles (or whatever quantity is enough to make five layers in the baking dish of your choice)
4 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F.
Follow package instructions for parboiling your lasagna noodles prior to baking. Cut the noodles to fit your baking dish and set aside.
Heat olive oil over medium heat and cook onions and garlic until slightly translucent. Add chopped mushrooms, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of pepper, and cover for 5-7 minutes.
When mushrooms have released their juices and are soft, stir in the sundried tomatoes and 3 tablespoons of grated parmesan. Remove from heat.
In a food processor pulse the tofu, mascarpone cheese, laughing cow cheese, drained spinach, fresh basil, garlic, and half a teaspoon of salt until well combined but not so much as to make it too smooth. A little bit of texture is nice here.
Fold the cooked mushrooms into tofu mixture. Add a little more salt and pepper here if you like. Some dried oregano would be nice here as well but I was out.
In a greased baking dish spread a layer of the filling along the bottom then top with one layer of noodles. Repeat another layer in the same way. For the third layer use half of your mozzarella cheese as the filling. Do the last two layers as normal with the filling, ending with a layer of the filling on top. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella cheese and parmesan over the top.
Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for another 20.

i eat way more beans than fruits. if it was me, i would put grains and beans at the bottom then vegetables and fruits

there's different versions of it, but i like how the bottom of this one is structured.
