#good vegan for once

[emelinstriker]

Ah yes, new year, new favorite fandom AU blog overtaken by the talk of cannibalism after I've comfortably moved into the blog. (Happy New Year by the way!) I set up a nice little tent here and everything, and then the cannibalistic craze hit me like a tornado. I miss that days of fluff and my poor innocent Wukong and Macaque... (who am I kidding, those two were never innocent-)

But I guess we're doin' this. What’s every champion’s favorite part of the body? To eat, I mean. Like, do they like eating organs too? What about the bone marrow? Would they ever ask Red Son to experiment different ways to prepare it? I'm aware that liver can be dried into some pretty heart jerky and I've heard somewhere that you can turn bone marrow into a cake, but I'm not sure if that's true...

Sorry, I just saw all this cannibalism talk and I just wanna be involved, tee hee!…

(Happy New Year :D)

Fluff, yes. Innocent, no- hnhnfhnfhn

Also, the bone marrow immediately reminded me of my dog ngl- In which case, it could probably be seen as like yoghurt if you cut up the bone and use it like a cup/bowl. Like, my brother usually uses a spoon to feed our dog bone marrow, so I could definitely see it as a snack option.

Wouldn't be too farfetched to assume you can make a cake out of it, considering how it feels like when served cold. Though if it's an oven cake, then obviously some adjustments in the recipe would have to be made due to how wobbly and liquidy bone marrow gets. But making one out of fully bone marrow would be possible when at least kept cold in theory, I believe? Can't confirm due to me only ever ripping the pieces apart so my dog will actually eat it, soooo-

But they would absolutely try different types of recipes. Maybe even mix up human and demon meat for newer creations. And yes, they do also eat organs. Not all organs though because they do need some remains for the forest.

I'm imagining their favorite parts, or I guess least disgusting parts for some, would be...

Wukong: Limbs (Raw)

Macaque: Heart (Raw)

MK: Limbs (Raw)

Nezha: Liver (Cooked)

Red Son: Liver (Cooked)

Ao Lie: No preference

Considering how bad of an influence Wukong is, pretty sure MK is following with whatever his mentor eats too, tbh-

And I guess preferences might also change a bit depending on the meat- Like, if it's from a demon with the body of an animal someone may like eating more than another, then the favorite parts may differ-

#eternal servants au #esau qna #cw: cannibalism #typing out this at work rn and i love how my co-worker and i got into a discussion too #apparently eating not just brains- but also kidneys and intestines ain't recommended #and according to her- lungs just generally don't taste good #the funny is that she's vegan #us and another co-worker of ours are now joking about how this is probably why she became vegan jnhndhnfhngfnhnnh #we addin more reasons onto the list why our instructor can't trust us to be alone in a room #he already once walked in on us talking about ways to dispose of people #and ever since then he's been giving us this look of “:D i don't trust you three :D” lmao

went to the liquor store and as soon as i got there i was like i dont have the money to be spending it on alcohol so i was like well u can at least spend it on some cake so i went to the cafe where i had the best red velvet cake of my life only for them not to have anymore red velvet cake so as last ditch effort i went to my supermarket to see if they had any red velvet cake and they didnt have it either 😭😭😭😭

#i rlly cant win #once i got home my stupid dad was like well its actually a good thing bc we have to be vegan tomorrow ^_^ #and i rlly had to stop myself from saying some rlly sacrilegious stuff abt hinduism i was so pissed off #vinnie talks

My grandfather's birthday is four days after Valentine's day and he said he wants double chocolate cupcakes, and I think I'm going to top them with a little bit of fudgy ganache and a mini Reese's cup for extra pizzazz. It's going to be so disgustingly chocolatey that I think Miss Trunchbull would be pleased 🥲

#sadly #these will be vegan #but i want my five year old cousin to feel included and not have her own dessert for once #i know i can make them good #they probably just wont be great

[oscill4te]

the idea of using chronometer or tracking any food/nutritional stuff is so stressful wtff

#if i am malnourished then so be it... #jk but yeah get a blood test every now and then #ive somehow been doing good w bloodtests despite putting no effort in #which is funny bc my family has tried convincing me for years that im going to be malnourished and starve from not eating meat >.> #I've been vegetarian for a long time and vegan for 3+ yrs and im balling #i just have to remember to take a multi/eat nooch for the b12 every now and then. i prob dont do that as much as i ought too #once i had a doctor suggest i keep a food diary just for being slightly overweight... cringe #idk tracking food that much seems unhealthy for most people #i think the only thing i care to track is sugar bc i notice i feel like shitttt if i have more than the recommended amount #but otherthan that i dont track anything else

#ameliatarian #vegan #vegetarian #saving this one because it could be a good way to make lots of tofu at once for a crowd #pan frying works great and is faster for just one tofu block #but baking scales better

My stomach sounds like some manner of beast right now, just kind of "mhhhrmmhhbbhh"ing, like some sort of creature snuffling and grumbling

#it may in fact shock you that a single potato did not in fact fill me up #but that's what was on offer tonight #and... and between there not being a lot that I'm up to scavenging in the first place and my stomach not making me feel great... #kinda makes it hard to feel like trying to track down something to eat #what I wouldn't give to have like... a dozen big hamburgers and a spinach or romaine type salad #doubt I could eat it; but it's what I'm feeling like might actually get me out of food deficit if I did manage to eat it all #I don't want sweets; I want food; but my mom loves using her money to pick up sweets and it's like... #a couple really nice quality burgers... even... 2... maybe 4 if we're honest; that's what I'd love #maybe a classic style; a bbq one; something with some spicy peppers on it; and then... surprise me with the last one; just no tomatoes #(and only good quality lettuce; you can put it on there but only if it isn't iceburg) #if only if only if only... if only I had a fuck ton of money or if only I had the skills to make that for myself #man I could go for some food right now... just a burger; that's what I'm really craving #like I said; that sausage patty earlier just made me hungrier so I feel like I need meat #and I fucking know all those SEO articles always say there's no way you need more protein in fact you're getting too much #but I just... I want just a massive amount of meat; a mountain of it... or fuck; don't care; you get me whatever it is in it that I'm wanti #and you put it in a vegan form I don't care... I just want whatever it is I'm wanting; and it's taking the form of burgers #Just like... if I had like 50 burgers in the fridge and I could heat one up any time I was hungry #I might actually be full for once after like a week (and maybe out of burgers) #I know I'm better off than most people; I know I'd be fine if I just wasn't so stupid and lazy #but I'm so fucking hungry and have been all my life #a decent meal that comes around more than once a month (that it's rare it comes around that often) #what an amazing idea; you know? #that month where I'd bought that like month of $1 big burger coupons for smashburger... that was maybe the one time I was almost full #only meal of the day most of the days... but fuck... one big burger every day is at least something

people learned quinoa existed and decided to pin all the world's tragedies on it huh

#i promise you quinoa is not evil. why single out one crop ffs. why not recognize your locally sourced meat consumes vastly more resources. #or idk. meat being local doesn't kill the animal any less. #or yk.. how unrealistic it is to expect ppl to ensure their meat is local 'humane' orgsnic or whatever other bs #challenge your views. at least once. #ffs anyway my day is off to a good start i can feel it #vegan

[dopeyspacepirate]

I got this super happy piece of biltong very yummy yes, and I just thought you should see how happy he looked

I did a doodle for those at the back

#biltong #is life #a life form once cow #then beef #then biltong #yes #very good #I’ll eat you even when vegan #and one day I’ll make my own biltong #along the green pastures #I’ll moo #you’ll meow #and fly away in our drones after shrinking down to pea size

soup from a bag my beloved

#it seems illegal how you can just pour out a bag of soup in a pan #and theres your meal #its got veggies its got protein #just all ready #i put bread in the oven to make it more filling #and added a can of chickpeas cause im feeling freaky today #i wish i liked soup more. id eat it every day #i cook it often for group dinners #cause its cheap and easily impresses people #& people wont even notice theyre eating something vegan #but unfortunately im a Soup Disliker #i want to chew my food #so instead of eating it daily i eat it once a week #cause even as a Soup Disliker i cant deny the powers of good soup

I think some of yall are just gonna have to accept that vegans have a different philosophy than you.

#YOU might think its respectful to eat animals or whatever the fuck #but like i dont and cant bring myself to. sorry #IM not about to let that get in the way of being friends w non vegans though . #like im never gonna be like 'killing animals is cool' bc to me it isnt and i dont think theres many reasons to unless you specifically have #to eat it for some reason. im not even a pure vegan. i still eat meat. i just dont see the pleasure in it. #ig i cant help but think about factory farming and the horrible ways animals die. i also dont really know if theres a Good way to kill an #animal just for sustenance. #i think itll be bad no matter what but ig theres *better* ways to do it if you have to #i think yall havw to understand that im literally just some person whos come to this conclusion #i dont have systemic power to change how things are so dont bitch that im taking your meat away when clearly its not going anywhere #yall essentially anti vegans are exhausting. #what i hate is how i say i care about animals lives and then in a defensive immediate retort people try to claim that i dont care about #oppressed humans. as if all vegans are actually just eco fascists who couldnt be assed to give a fuck about minorities lmao #im sorry youve interacted with shitty vegans but i promise theres vegans who just like dont want anyone to be killed if it can be helped #maybe i do actually just care about both of these things at once. ik its shocking #and i promise that me generally supporting ntv and other ppls ability to hunt for whatever environmental justification #isnt mutually exclusive from me thinking its generally not good to eat meat #like it IS possible to believe two things at once #also great news for you! i dont have control over you and your life. so whatever i say could fundementally not effect you #and no. thinking an action is bad doesnt mean i think anyone who hunts is a Bad Person. i also cant make them stop either #i just have personal feelings on the matter #sorta like how your friend has a preference for a tv show you find problematic and you've vented your frutrations w it #but they still love the show anyways and you wouldnt take that away from them bc a. you cant and b. it doesnt effect our friendship enough #for me to feel the need to try to encourage them to not watch it...? #the totally wacky and wild and unique unheard of thing abt me is that i dont need to control people who want to live a different life #even if i dont think its entirely cool whatever it is they do #obviously if theyre a racist or something i wont tolerate that but yeah #this is MY path in life. these are MY beliefs. i dont need you to follow in my footsteps. #im not ur guru lol #im not pushing for any policies. i dont have a plan to *make* everyone vegan. im just sharing my thoughts.

[graveyardmouth]

ok buddy

#good for you or im sorry that happened i guess #see also via weird annotations by gareth: “where jesus did a lot of his mad shit” #you can almost forget peta once voted him sexiest vegan #bug shut up

[mothbaaalls]

the number-one hazard of fancy chocolate is that it makes you want more fancy chocolate

#nonsense radio #my auntie got me some fancy vegan chocolates for valentine's day and i'm being so good about not eating them all at once #i have been eating them one at a time and then going 'auuuu... auuuuuu...' #and then going and eating some cheaper chocolate to sate the Chocolate Beast

[emlos]

i would love to eat vegan full time for undisclosed reasons but soo many nice looking recipes use shit thats only easily buyable in a multicultural city center and not in a village in Germany east of bumfuck nowhere

#like!! im tired of making flour seitan i want JACKFRUIT and TOFU and tempeh #and like #vegetables taste good but how many times can you eat a bland but spiced veggie burger? #cant make 'vegan cream' cause cashews get stocked once a month here #cant add 'fishy tang' to seitan cause any nori is sold a 100km away #so i eat fish and cheese and milk #DONT TALK TO ME AHOUT NOOCH im still.not sure if its even sold in Germany #*essbare hefe?* * Würzhefeflocken?* BITCH #whatever im gonna eat a head of.raw broccoli cause.it tastes good but a guygirl wants some Abwechslung sometimes #fuckin hell im drunk as shit #text

I will write this thought about Veganism and Classism in the USA in another post so as to not derail the other thread:

There are comments in the notes that say meat is only cheaper than plant based foods because of subsidies artificially lowering the price of meat in the United States. This is...part of the story but not all of it.

For my animal agriculture lab we went to a butcher shop and watched the butcher cut up a pig into various cuts of meat. I have had to study quite a bit about the meat industry in that class. This has been the first time I fully realized how strongly the meat on a single animal is divided up by socioeconomic class.

Like yes, meat cumulatively takes more natural resources to create and thus should be more expensive, but once that animal is cut apart, it is divided up between rich and poor based on how good to eat the parts are. I was really shocked at watching this process and seeing just how clean and crisp an indicator of class this is.

Specifically, the types of meat I'm most familiar with are traditionally "waste" parts left over once the desirable parts are gone. For example, beef brisket is the dangly, floppy bit on the front of a cow's neck. Pork spareribs are the part of the ribcage that's barely got anything on it.

And that stuff is a tier above the "meat" that is most of what poor people eat: sausage, hot dogs, bologna, other heavily processed meat products that are essentially made up of all the scraps from the carcass that can't go into the "cuts" of meat. Where my mom comes from in North Carolina, you can buy "livermush" which is a processed meat product made up of a mixture of liver and a bunch of random body parts ground up and congealed together. There's also "head cheese" (made of parts of the pig's head) and pickled pigs' feet and chitlin's (that's made of intestines iirc) and cracklin's (basically crispy fried pig skin) and probably a bunch of stuff i'm forgetting. A lot of traditional Southern cooking uses basically scraps of animal ingredients to stretch across multiple meals, like putting pork fat in beans or saving bacon grease for gravy or the like.

So another dysfunctional thing about our food system, is that instead of people of each socioeconomic class eating a certain number of animals, every individual animal is basically divided up along class lines, with the poorest people eating the scraps no one else will eat (oftentimes heavily processed in a way that makes it incredibly unhealthy).

Even the 70% lean ground beef is made by injecting extra leftover fat back into the ground-up meat because the extra fat is undesirable on the "better" cuts. (Gross!)

I've made, or eaten, many a recipe where the only thing that makes it non-vegan is the chicken broth. Chicken broth, just leftover chicken bones and cartilage rendered and boiled down in water? How much is that "driving demand" for meat, when it's basically a byproduct?

That class really made me twist my brain around about the idea of abstaining from animal products as a way to deprive the industry of profits. Nobody eats "X number of cows, pigs, chickens in a lifetime" because depending on the socioeconomic class, they're eating different parts of the animal, splitting it with someone richer or poorer than they are. If a bunch of people who only ate processed meats anyway abstained, that wouldn't equal "saving" X number of animals, it would just mean the scraps and byproducts from a bunch of people's steaks or pork chops would have something different happen to them.

The other major relevant conclusion I got from that class, was that animal agriculture is so dominant because of monoculture. People think it's animal agriculture vs. plant agriculture (or plants used for human consumption vs. using them to feed livestock), but from capitalism's point of view, feeding animals corn is just another way to use corn to generate profits.

People think we could feed the world by using the grain fed to animals to feed humans, but...the grain fed to animals, is not actually a viable diet for the human population, because it's literally just corn and soybean. Like animal agriculture is used to give some semblance of variety to the consumer's diet in a system that is almost totally dominated by like 3 monocrops.

Do y'all have any idea how much of the American diet is just corn?!?! Corn starch, corn syrup, corn this, corn that, processed into the appearance of variety. And chickens and pigs are just another way to process corn. That's basically why we have them, because they can eat our corn. It's a total disaster.

And it's even worse because almost all the USA's plant foods that aren't the giant industrial monocrops maintained by pesticides and machines, are harvested and cared for by undocumented migrant workers that get abused and mistreated and can't say anything because their boss will tattle on them to ICE.
