So I have recently gotten interested in home plant based meat substitutes like seitan and this guy pops up every time I look for recipe guides on Youtube and I have noticed a few red flags. As an example, he has like 20 different hamburger recipes that all use wildly different ingredients while claiming they are all better tasting than Impossible meat. And of those recipes, most use highly processed or sponsored ingredients that are difficult to get.

He's not vegan so 🤷‍♀️

He is not? Does he just make vegan recipes?

Thompson and Stone, who are set to tie the knot in October, are pescetarians. “Our plant-based journey is a little tough because of medical reasons,” says Thompson.

I'm not about supporting people who profit from veganism (period, but especially if they aren't vegan themselves).

I mean if you want the movement to die then go right ahead, because that applies to all influencers and professional advocates.

We as a community (this lemmy comm is for a discord server) are staunchly against all influencers, celebrity worship and businesses who would use veganism and animal rights to grow their businesses to support non vegans. Celebrity worship is toxic. This includes by extension plant-based meats by meat companies. Come into the discord server if you want to learn more about how these companies use marketing and horizontal segmentation and how it works to grow the consumption of animal products with vegan brands. We do not support any businesses here and use generic names as much as possible in our posts for this reason.

Which movement? Plant based capitalism or veganism? Veganism will do just fine.

Veganism is more than just not eating animal products. If it's not anti-speciest, it's not vegan.

Hamid's reply has some good information in it. If people find his videos and recipes useful, then great! But I certainly don't hold influencers in high regards. Their job is engagement and selling.

He sucks, when I first started making vegan burgers I tried one of his recipes and it was so bad my partner and I wouldn't even eat it! While he was sitting there with his wife saying it's amazing better than anything else

I think his recipes are too complicated. He is also kind of a jerk, I called him out for not being vegan lol. I don't eat anything food sciency and the most processed thing I use is tvp on occassion. I eat mostly beans and rice

I'm in favor of absolutely anyone and everyone who talks about veganism in a positive way and is well-meaning, personally.

Make the tent bigger even if it has people who are different from you.

Come join the Vegan Home Cooks!

Participation is really easy, just take a picture of what you cooked today and post it, no recipes needed.


This is a public forum for a discord server of friends who are all vegans and cook at home for their families.

We are here to share some inspiration, to see what others are doing and to stay engaged in something that is both our hobby and a required task.

This forum is not a "food porn" community, a recipe book or a place to teach you how to cook. It is a place for people who already cook to meet other people like themselves and provide on topic support and conversation as much as long distance friends on the internet can do. We are doing show and tell about what we made and we don't care about its instagram worthiness.

Veganism isn’t a diet but I have to eat every day. This is for the vegan home cooks. Anything non vegan will be deleted.


Rules

1. Be Vegan.

If it is not vegan it doesn’t belong here… or anywhere.

2. Post home cooking.

No restaurant or fast food. This is what every other vegan space is about and we don’t want to promote any large or small business tyrants.

3. Join the Discord

We’re an active community of vegan home cooks that like to talk about what we are cooking today.

4. Do not make any rude comments or digs at anyone’s food, cooking style, specific diet, restrictions or technique.

While we are all cooks, we all have different requirements and we’re not asking for help, we are doing show and tell.

5. Do not use trademarked brands

Use generic names. We’re cooking with tvp not whatever business brands it and we’re not trying to turn comrades into billboards. No plant-based vegan-pandering capitalist crap like Impossible, Beyond, Dairy-company owned “vegan” cheese.

6. Do not ask for a recipe without otherwise engaging the OP (No posts that are just “recipe?”)

We are not food bloggers. Sometimes we're excited to share and will tell you the recipes we used but this isn't required. Instead try doing your own research and tell us what you learned and we can talk about it.

7. Careful with making unasked for suggestions.

Sometimes we like to hear suggestions but you should be nice about it and know the person you are making suggestions to. We are in the discord and you can get to know us that way. If you are just a visitor from the fediverse, this isn’t the place for you to start telling other people what to do.

8. Adults Only.

While this isn't a community for adult material we expect everyone who participates to be an adult. If you have a gross and profane username you will be removed.
