Just make falafel. A good falafel wrap is just delicious on its own. Deep fried chickpeas. Absolutely amazing.
I was at a comic con where when you wanted a burger or something you had to wait in line for like 30 minutes. They also had. A stand with vegan wraps. I don’t know exactly what was in it, but i think it’s some sort of fried chickpeas. It was one of the best things i ever ate, and there was no pine at all.
Make them pay full price of meal and inspect factories?
Beef patty would triple in cost.
I had the argument with my sister that meat and dairy is too cheap. She looked at me like she tried to kill me. I pay 3 times as much for oar milk as she does for regular milk. Milk, the thing you beed a cow for, go through all kinds of machines, labour testing whatever. Compared to basically water and oat. The dried meat she buys is cheaper by a good bit than the dried beets that i buy. I wanna see people shit their pants when a steak is 50 bucks while whatever the plant based alternative is a dollar.
A good place to start might be to look at the huge number of ethnic dishes built around beans. People around the world have been inventive in this regard for centuries.
For the North American diet, it would help if fast food offered more bean options. There’s Taco Bell and the like, I guess. And hummus and falafel are working their way into places that sell wraps. But while burger joints are increasingly offering veggie burgers that are presumably using some kind of bean or pea-based protein, I wonder why they don’t try offering a chili? We have a chilli festival where I live and it’s hugely popular with around half the recipes being bean-based.
Lemmy is the perfect demographic for such an article.
People already eat fucking tons of beans. Wtf is this non-article?
In the US, they’re mostly fed to animals, though a chunk get turned into diesel
There’s even anti-bean propaganda in the Form of “Mexican food gives you the runs”. America hates beans.
I think that holds internationally, but the USA eats a massive amount of meat and less beans comparatively.
Can we just have landlords instead? /j
