4·6 days agoA blender definitely works, but don’t 100% know about a mixer. It might work given silken tofu isn’t that difficult to break up, but it might also leave you with some funny chunks. Would be curious to hear if that works
Honestly, this is plenty worth going out of your way to make even if you don’t have applesauce. It has a 4.96/5 with thousands of reviews for a reason
Her vanilla cake recipe is also very good too if you prefer that! https://www.noracooks.com/vegan-vanilla-cake/

Hypothetically, it said specifically vegan men instead of being broader
So is that like a yea or a nay? :P
71·11 days agoWater usage for beef’s cattle feed in the US at least is quite often in water scarce areas
Correspondingly, our hydrologic modelling reveals that cattle-feed irrigation is the leading driver of flow depletion in one-third of all western US sub-watersheds; cattle-feed irrigation accounts for an average of 75% of all consumptive use in these 369 sub-watersheds. During drought years (that is, the driest 10% of years), more than one-quarter of all rivers in the western US are depleted by more than 75% during summer months (Fig. 2 and Supplementary Fig. 2) and cattle-feed irrigation is the largest water use in more than half of these heavily depleted rivers

Hey now, soyboy doesn’t have to be applied to just boys. The meme was, hypothetically speaking, edited to not say “vegan men”
Or in other words: I’m listening…
There’s always a chance to upgrade. Don’t sleep on the opportunity!
Thank you for your important service 🫡
Australia also has plenty of deforestation problems from the beef industry. The deforestation is by no means exclusive to Brazil
Forests around the world are cleared to make way for cattle destined for your dinner plate.
And Australia is no different.
More than half the continent is used for grazing livestock. And most deforestation happens on Australian cattle farms
The deforestation on farms that ‘people don’t even know’ is happening
There is indeed
There is evidence that slaughterhouse employment is associated with lower levels of psychological well-being. SHWs [slaughterhouse workers] have described suffering from trauma, intense shock, paranoia, anxiety, guilt and shame (Victor & Barnard, 2016), and stress (Kristensen, 1991). There was evidence of higher rates of depression (Emhan et al., 2012; Horton & Lipscomb, 2011; Hutz et al., 2013; Lander et al., 2016; Lipscomb et al., 2007), anxiety (Emhan et al., 2012; Hutz et al., 2013; Leibler et al., 2017), psychosis (Emhan et al., 2012), and feelings of lower self-worth at work (Baran et al., 2016). Of particular note was that the symptomatology appeared to vary by job role. Employees working directly with the animals (e.g., on the kill floor or handling the carcasses) were those who showed the highest prevalence rates of aggression, anxiety, and depression (Hutz et al., 2013; Richards et al., 2013).

Beef is exported from Brazil to the rest of the world
16·11 days agoIt was when enslaved African people were first brought to Jamestown. Exactly when the start is more broadly is kind of harder to say since some things are more disputed
The arrival of the first captives to the Jamestown Colony, in 1619, is often seen as the beginning of slavery in America—but enslaved Africans arrived in North America as early as the 1500s.

There is one cheaper option we shouldn’t gloss over which removes the humanwashing: plants. Beans, lentils, potatoes, chickpeas, tofu, etc. are all rather cheap and rather good!
The reality kinds of end up being that factory farming is the only viable way to scale up to the insanely high per capita consumption in the west. The industry isn’t going to be meaningfully changeable as long as production and consumption levels are as high as they are
No chickens end up being “pampered” before they are slaughtered, no matter how much you pay. It’s just labels about handful of random practices that maybe won’t happen with limited amounts of checking. Even for antibiotic-free labels, there is still more antibiotics than you’d think
In 2022, Price et al. published a study reporting that 15% of RWA-labeled [raised without antibiotics] cattle contained antibiotic residues in urine samples
In 2023, the USDA embarked on the project reported herein to independently determine the extent of antibiotic drug residues present […] samples from 37 animals (20%) met the analytical identification criteria for at least one antibiotic
It’s not bad! I liked it at least. It has a hint of banana but not super strong like I was worried it might be
It didn’t unseat oat milk from its place in my heart, but it was good
Abolish animal agriculture as a gesture of good faith. The climate thanks you in advance
