Beyond Meat Ingredients: Water, pea protein, expeller-pressed canola oil, refined coconut oil, rice protein, natural flavors, dried yeast, cocoa butter, methylcellulose, and less than 1% of potato starch, salt, potassium chloride, beet juice color, apple extract, pomegranate concentrate, sunflower lecithin, vinegar, lemon juice concentrate, vitamins and minerals (zinc sulfate, niacinamide [vitamin B3], pyridoxine hydrochloride [vitamin B6], cyanocobalamin [vitamin B12], calcium pantothenate[Vitamin B5]).

Based on my light research, Beyond meat is not too bad, ingredient wise. If someone wants to chime in, I don't see any preservatives either.

This has to be the most eat pray love meme I've ever seen. Hindus are vegetarian not vegan (disclaimer: they aren't a monolith) and use a lot of ghee (milk product). That brown dude looks like a Sikh; they are typically not vegetarian or vegan.

White people are afraid of spices, they activate their yakubian self destruct instincts

I'm vegan for a while now and live in Europe. In the past, vegan options were creative and often good and now it's this fake meat all over. I wish I lived closer to India then to America

You really don't want to live in a country close to India.

I saw a middle-eastern cookbook and was reminded of how vegetarian food is pretty solid everywhere outside of many parts of the Anglosphere. Even then, the stuff is there but it's not really given the thought it deserves.

When people complain about vegan diets lacking in x, y, or z I always point out that our diets are culturally balanced, as well as being balanced by the addition of vitamins to staple foods. If we all became deficient in say, iron, we would start fortifying iron in our water, flour, salt, rice etc, while at the same time we would culturally move towards eating more black beans and spinach than we currently do. When an individual removes a food group from their diet, it's only reasonable that you will have to intentionally rebalance your diet in other places. This isn't a deficiency inherent in a vegan diet.

If you have to supplement a vitamin or mineral that's just part of your diet, so don't @ me with your natural=good nonsense.
