A lot of vegan meals don’t feel quite filling without some kind of protein. Seiten and mushrooms cooked the right way does it, so does impossible burger.
But “lol just stay hungry” isn’t a persuasive argument.
Its not about meeting caloric requirements for protein. If people felt completely satisfied after eating peanuts, people wouldnt waste all that money on meat. The impossible burger proves that its always been a matter of creating vegan meals that are satisfying to the people who eat meat.
It wasn’t meant as a “stay-hungry gotcha”. What I meant was that vegan meats are not a must when it comes to substituting meat. Food like Impossible Burgers and things like that. But there’s tofu, tempeh, seitan as you’ve mentioned, beans, legumes, chickpeas… There’s a lot to eat instead of (vegan) meat is what I meant to convey.
Or just don’t eat meat and choose one of the plenty alternatives that’s not faux-meat
Tried that before, didn’t enjoy it.
