The Veganism Thread

[Odinson]

I never get vegan propoganda like this. Is it supposed to make meat eaters feel bad? Change their minds?

 

Why do you see it as "propoganda"?

Nice! There's so many different milks to choose from. Some have 'barista' versions, which are the creamier versions and work really well for cappuccinos and what not.

Sorry it's not really related but I thought maybe people on this thread may have more ideas.

 

I'm kind of tired of roasting or steaming butternut and looking for some other ways to use it/cook etc.

Thank you.

Have you tried chucking it on the coals? I've seen guys throw them whole on the coals till they're a bit black on the outside. I've also wrapped them in tinfoil (add garlic, onion, herbs and spices in the hollowed out section) and put them on the grid. 

 

Nowadays, we eat them with the skin still on.

That's sounds so cruel. Poor butternut. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Canada has revamped its food guidelines and it's looking pretty good!

 

 

 

Canada’s revamped Food Guide has finally caught up with scientific evidence

 

 

This version has caught up with scientific evidence on diet and health. Here’s why.

 

Easy to understand. 

The guide’s dietary recommendations aren’t complicated. Eat a variety of healthy foods each day. Have plenty of fruits and vegetables. Eat protein foods. Choose whole-grain foods. Make water your drink of choice.

The picture on the front of the guide, a photograph of real food on a plate (not illustrated foods on a rainbow) is also effective. The message is pretty simple: Fill half of your plate with vegetables and fruits, one-quarter with protein and one-quarter with whole grains.

 

Whole foods, not nutrients. 

 

The Food Guide now directs people to whole foods, and has done away with recommending a certain number of daily food-group servings to meet nutrient needs (e.g., calcium from dairy, iron from meat).

 

Eating the right foods instead of fussing over individual nutrients is the way to go, because if you base your diet on whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans and lentils, fish, lean meat, yogurt and so on, you’re going to be consuming plenty of nutrients.

Since 2007, nutrition research has taught us that it’s the overall pattern of our diet that matters when it comes to health.

 

No more focus on meat. 

The decision to replace nutrient-based food groups with groupings of foods (e.g., protein foods versus “Meat and Alternatives”) has removed the emphasis on meat.

Lean meat is included as one of the guide’s protein foods (along with fish, eggs, dairy, beans, lentils and nuts), but it’s no longer the main attraction. And that’s a good thing.

High intakes of red meat have been tied to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and colorectal cancer. Eating more protein from plants compared to meat, on the other hand, has been associated with a lower risk of premature death from cardiovascular disease.

 

Downsizing the importance of meat in the diet also reflects findings from environmental research on optimal food choices.

 

Advice on highly processed foods. 

The revised guide recommends that we don’t eat processed or prepared foods and beverages on a regular basis, to avoid consuming too much added sugar, sodium and saturated fat.

That’s important advice since our increasing reliance on ready-to-eat, ready-to-drink and ready-to-heat highly processed foods has been correlated with higher obesity rates, metabolic syndrome and unhealthy blood-cholesterol levels.

Thanks to their high content of unhealthy fats, sugars, salt and other additives, highly processed foods are intensely palatable, which can make them habit-forming. Plus, they’re low in or lacking fibre, protective phytochemicals and vitamins and minerals that whole foods contain.

You can have vegan pizzas at all Panarottis (to my knowledge), by requesting the vegan chees/meat options!
