It’s not even a push. My elderly mother was telling me about her elderly friends who were going on “missions” to find eggs where they spent tons of gas driving around all day just trying to find eggs to buy since they’re scarce.
It floored me. I literally said to her “do they not understand if they stop buying them the demand will decrease and so will the price?” She shrugged and agreed that it was really foolish and wasteful.
Some people are just really ingrained in their habits and don’t even consider changing things like this in their lives.
TVP is so amazing that i can’t help but feel like it’s being actively supressed by the meat industry, it’s incredibly close to the generic mouthfeel of meat and utterly trivial to manufacture.
Isn’t easier to just… stop buying eggs?
Won’t the prices come down if people, you know, stop pushing demand for them?
Seriously not a bad time to consider vegetarianism or veganism.
But eggs are vegetarian. Avoiding meat is easy, but eggs are in a ton of recipes and not all of them work with egg substitutes
You say that like we don’t import a fuck ton of our produce from Mexico.
Everything is about to get way more expensive.
Won’t prices come down if people, you know, stop buying vegetables?
Agree.
There is a great push towards this stuff. Mostly trough the meat industry whos products getting shittier by the day.
A good meal is texture + flavor. As long as you give me the texture and flavor I want I couldn’t care less how it is accomplished.
And if I have the choice between 2 products who are equal in texture and flavor, I pick the option that caused less suffering in the world.

I recently was at a friends house and they had made vegan chilli, NGL best chilli I’ve ever had.
I agree with you on your food preference and it’s like a breath of fresh air encountering someone who thinks the same way about food.
Send me that recipe if you can!
I wish I could but they haven’t shared it with me yet
They did laugh when I asked and they said “it’s basically chilli but with crumbly tofu, and don’t slack on the seasoning”
Super Firm Tofu. The vacuum sealed stuff.
