If only it had already been mentioned on here a few times. Maybe if someone had posted a big photo it would have been less easy to miss? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopek Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 The variation in the numbers of Vegans lately has been led by the online campaigns, Vegan January etc. These cause some jumping on a bandwagon which rarely lead to long term uptake. Yes, I agree, some of the meat substitutes are not very good, only good as a familiar product for new vegans to easy into the style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bastard Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 11 minutes ago, HiVibes said: You do seem intent on confusing Vegans, and non-vegans eating foods marketed as Vegan. Actual vegans I know buy the same vegetable ingredients as meat eaters on the whole, and then more leafy greens, beans, lentils, nuts etc. People who choose to be Vegan are very concious of the nutritional value of eating healthy food so the decline in ultra processed pea protein rubbish does not correlate at all with the number of Vegans, now if you said that chickpea sales had fallen through the floor you might have a point. You're generalising about Vegans. They don't share the same automatic set of values, even though you want them to. Choosing not to eat meat doesn't automatically make you conscious of the nutritional value of eating healthy food or adjust your diet accordingly, particularly if you're just being vegan so you can boast about it on social media, or because you are doing it to protest against cruelty to animals alone. Vegan diets can be deficient in nutrients if not managed carefully, and bone fracture rates are a third higher in Vegans due to the lack of calcium in their diets. Read the link to the Gallup poll above. The number of people who were surveyed and reported that they themselves were vegan fell in the survey. It's not the be-all and end-all of the argument, but that opinion-based survey isn't related to chickpea sales alone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
