    Someone should make a brand of seitan marketed towards body builders and gym bros. 3x as much protein as beef! How do you beat that.

      Told my gym going co worker, I wouldn’t call him a gym bro but he’s working out about how stupid protein dense seitan is and he’s all over it now

        Seitan is a food you make by extracting just the gluten from wheat, making a dough of that, kneading the hell of of it, then cooking it. It’s 75% protein by mass.

        Pure seitan is tough and aggressively bland, but mixing a little of just about anything into the flour fixes both of those. In my opinion, a good seitan recipe has the best texture of any meat.

            It’s sort of a building block food, you can really flavor it to taste like just about anything. Vegan place I worked at did seitan donair for example. It’s a little tricky to make but after a few tries you’ll have it going well

    Protein is the most stupid one.

    I don’t know how this was raised but looking at lentils, beans, soya and saitan and saying you need more protein can’t be explained with ignorance anymore.

    So many consumers are just brainwashed by decades of false information and advertising campaigns.

    You claim to not consume animal products and yet I see you performing beta-oxidation as we speak. Very peculiar.

    Also before you say that it’s different because you consent, mitochondrion by definition cannot consent.

    I’ve just stopped elaborating anymore, it takes too much energy. When someone asks why are you a vegan, what about X, I just say “many reasons.”, “its working out so far”.

      I’ve found it I say the usual “don’t like killing animals or the climate” I get pushback but if I just tell them I have gout, they back off. They even ask if I’ve had a flair up and get all doughy-eyed when I say I haven’t had one in 2 years lol. Idk why it’s a surprise when I cut out one of the big 2 major culprits for flair-ups completely and drastically cut out my beer intake which is the other culprit but whatever, they seem to like the answer.
