I feel for mom. I want to be vegan but I hate legumes. So instead of becoming protein deficient because I refuse to eat beans, I'll just wait for lab-grown meat to finally get USDA (FDA?) approval.

Even chickpeas, lentils, or peanuts? I dislike western beans but I'm fine with these others which are (IMO) quite superior.

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Especially chickpeas, lentils, and peanuts. Peanut butter is alright, though.

There are many more vegetal protein sources though, and if you really can't bear those either just eat eggs

[-] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 2 points 3 days ago

Then they would be vegetarian, not vegan

Tofu, seitan, synthesized pea or soy protein… where I live, you can get vegan nonfat skyr that tastes every bit as funky as real skyr, and although it does have a hollow, oaty aftertaste, you can counter it pretty easily by adding a fat (I tend to carefully temper melted vegan butter and just add that) or using it with something (like jam, oats, and wheat germ/flaxseed) or as a thickener/creamy/cultured element in a recipe

I avoid soy protein because I heard it can promote estrogen production. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Plus I just like steak and octopus too much. I'll wait for lab-grown meat.

That estrogen thing is wrong. There's more estrogen in the meat people consume, far more, and you never hear anyone about that.

If you're worried about stuff like that, you'd do much better avoiding PFAS, which can affect male fertility. And cause cancer and a bunch of other diseases.

That’s a misunderstanding due to the term phytoestrogens, afaik.

Or pre-hunter.
