@tezoatlipoca@mas.to

#Canadian (sorry). Being kind, empathetic and supportive to others, #vaccines, #vegans and #LGBT+ are cool; convoys and racists and *phobes are not. Computer Engineer, #software #developer, #technical #writer, #translation manager, reformed project manager and #SCRUMmaster, dad and boyfriend.

I like video games, programming, baking and cooking. While Im not #vegan, LawyerGF is, so I'm vegan-ISH.

One of the leaders of the Truck Idiot #Convoy is speaking right now, on the 2 yr anniversary of the Great Canadian Idiot Parade err I mean the invocation of the Emergencies Act in #Ottawa #Canada.

It/he/they are a hot mess. Rambling. Incoherent rhetoric. The government conspiracy blah blah. Unfair oppression of a province (Alberta, oil).

Mike, from Canmore, was a better communicator.

After a moment of screaming inwardly at the visualization of "meat and bone grown in rice" this is a very promising article for sustainability.

@RickiTarr @mentallyalex Alt-meat substitutes like this will really catch on once we hit better than cost parity.. and really that's just economies of scale - so time and money.

If I can give you a Beyondimpossible burger - prepared and dressed properly - that tastes indistinguishable from an 8 oz sirloin patty but costs half as much AND you get to feel good about not killing a cow, who wouldn't switch?

We're not quite there yet - another 5 yrs I'd say and the meat industry panics.

@RickiTarr @mentallyalex Of course, like transitioning to green transportation and power, we have to pull out all the Meat Inc. money from our political machines. We still subsidize dairy to fill caves in Arkansas with Too Much Cheese. We produce way more meat and dairy and byproducts than there is demand for purely because of subsidies.

@LouisIngenthron @mentallyalex @RickiTarr And A&W and Harvey's in Canada has been shilling Beyondpossible for years (can't remember specifically which). Tim Hortons has had Beyond breakfast sammiches etc. for a while too.

Simulate Nuggs and Strips are dead ringers for Chicken McNuggets, I'm really surprised McDonalds hasn't started offering them (other than potential kitchen cross contamination process/workflow change costs?)

@tezoatlipoca@mas.to avatar

@mentallyalex @RickiTarr @LouisIngenthron I find w/ plant based stuff where I need a little fat (where otherwise I'd be getting the fat/grease from the meat its replacing), a little oil compensates just fine. You can't have tacos without a little greasy dribble to flavor bind all the fixins.

Do you know soy curls my friend?

tezoatlipoca,
@tezoatlipoca@mas.to avatar

@mentallyalex @RickiTarr @LouisIngenthron Dehydrated soy: https://butlerfoods.com/soycurls.html

Reconstitute in flavor broth of choice then use wherever and in substitute of chicken or pork shreads/chunks/bits.

  • coat and brown == chicken for stirfrys, tacos, curry, pulled pork/chicken
  • coat/batter + air fryer == popcorn chicken
  • or just drop em directly in soups, curries where normally you might directly use tofu.

plus, being dehydrated they keep forever. Butler's 12 lb box lasted us about 6 mos.

@camerondotca @gemelliz To hear him spin it he can totes get a security clearance, but when he does, and he reads the forbidden sstuff, then he can't talk about it. Because == national security.

This way, he gets to make shit up on the floor of the House and speculate about a bunch of stuff because the people who have read the material can't talk about it because <checks notes> national security.

    @GhostOnTheHalfShell Jordan Peterson "Enlightened Centrist" or "Right Wing Nut Job"? is really one of those questions where if you're posing it, the answer is obvious.

    -trick question. He's an asshole right wing nut job trying to masquerade as an enlightened centrist. But EC's are also assholes. There is no "seeing both sides" of complex issues when one position dehumanizes, shames and blames people.

    You can get an answer to a question on the internet a lot faster if, instead of simply asking the question, you instead post an answer that you know is wrong.

    People are more likely to correct your wrong answer than they are to simply respond to a question.

    This is known as the Pythagoras Theorem.
