My false-meat empanadas are the best.

Try using 50/50 minced meat/TVP and you won't notice the difference. I don't know how it behaves when doing meatballs or hamburguers, it probably crumbles if you don't add something else, but idk.

    No idea what that is

    Ag in America is 20% of carbon. Vast majority of that is for corn and soy. Methane is 50% that is mostly ranching.

        Ah yeah.

        I eat local pork mostly. I don't touch beef die to my dislike of ranching practices.

        Also have my own farm. Also avoid soy due to gmo and estrogen.

          you're thinking of phytoestrogens, and there isn't any conclusive scientific evidence that they act like estrogen in your body. milk (and meat too iirc) have actual estrogen, which does actually affect you

            Yeah I mean the main reason I don't eat soy is becuase I don't like factory farming.

                To be honest. That's a myth.

                If you actually care about any of this more than just not wanting blood on your hands you'll start supporting local small farms through csa etc. You'll get more food than you know what to do with. Go to a farmers market. Compare prices to the grocery stores. They tend to be pretty close.

                If your city dweller that just wants to feel good about not having death on their hands than keep living in your dream world that is blood free soy. Also if it's organic soy its going to be grown with animal byproducts that come most likely from factory fa operations. If it's not than it's gmo trash petro fertilizers that's bad for the world in general.

                    1. Gmos are bad becuase they are only used to increase profits and get farmers hooked on one source

                    Could they be better to let's say make things grow with ess water. Yes. But they went for $$$. That's why the field is dying.

                    Sorry I have multiple people responding to me hard to keep it straight. I ships Probably get back to work instead of bickering online

      Worldwide, 80% of soy is fed to livestock. The rest is mostly soybean oil. Soy isn't an issue because of specialty vegan products.

        Oh yeah I know that.

        Its just the idea that you are saving animals by participating in factory farms is a bit absurd. Soy and corn harvesting leads to massive wild life death. Along with all the habitat destroyed to keep it going.

        I don't eat beef or soy and really only eat local corn grown on small plots.

          Again, soy consumption, and the many negatives associated with it, is fueled almost entirely by the growing demand for meat. Not direct human consumption. We could sustainably provide soy for direct human consumption.
