There are almost zero Americans that are protein deficient. Yet people here freak out about vegetarians and vegans like they're going to die of lack of protein while ignoring common vegan protein sources.

You could cut about half of the meat from old food group suggestions, including the Michele Obama one (which was more healthy and reasonable), and still be getting more than enough protein.

God these people are so anti-science and so fucking dumb. Men all desperately trying to look like roided out freaks.

I'm no vegan or vegetarian, but I've been eating way less meat and more veggies lately since I found a really delicious veggie stew recipe. I've made it weekly for meal prep almost 4 weeks in a row now. There are many days recently where I go without eating meat at all. I just got some blood work back from my yearly physical and I had too much protein in my blood.

I actually get more protein from the veggie stew than I was getting with my old diet.

You can't just say that and not share the veggie stew recipe.

Added the recipe as a response to my original message.

I'm commenting in hope that vegan stew recipe drops and I get a notification.

You are a good person, thank you very much.

I'm going to enjoy that recipe responsibly.

For those that wanted the recipe:

  • 1 onion, chopped into half inch strips
  • 3 celery sticks, diced
  • one pack of baby bella mushrooms
  • one parsnip, finely diced
  • two zucchini, cut into small cubes
  • 4-5 large red potatoes, cubed with skin on
  • 1 pound of carrots, cut into chips, or one pound of baby carrots
  • 1 can of light red kidney beans, drained and washed
  • 1 can fire roasted tomatoes
  • 4 cups of veggie broth
  • 1 tablespoon of lemon juice (optional)
  • 1 can of tomato paste (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon of smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon of Italian seasoning
  • 3/4 teaspoon of dried garlic
  1. In a large pot on medium high heat, add olive oil, onions, celery, mushrooms. Saute until softened.

  2. Pour in veggie broth, lemon juice, and spices. Mix well.

  3. Pour in the rest of the veggies and kidney beans. Mix well.

  4. Pour in fire roasted tomatoes on top. DO NOT MIX, and do not dispose of the can.

  5. Fill the can from the fire roasted tomatoes with water and pour into pot. Do not stir.

  6. Cover the pot with a lid, lower heat to medium, and simmer for between 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  7. Optional - add in tomato paste and stir well.

  8. Add additional spices or salt to taste.

  9. Serve with noodles. I prefer those small middle rings.

Americans lack fiber, the protein bushit has gotten out of hand

Thanks for the link. I'm personally not even vegan and only what I call "half-vegetarian." I was pushing for full vegetarian until I was diagnosed with cancer which actually does require increased protein intake. I just think it's dumb to ignore reality that the majority of US citizens are far from hurting for protein and that there are plenty of healthy vegan protein options from nuts to tofu to seitan and more.
