Vegetarian and vegan sushi options suck

Im gonna be real with with you and tell you this is entirely a skill issue

every time I see people go ew gross ultraprocessed foods idk i roll my eyes, you could call a pesto "ultra processed" that doesn't mean it won't be the dankest shit ever

Anything you say about fish is obviously true, but not exclusive to sushi. Eating animals is always indefensible, i don't see why we even have to debate this. Everything else you say is not only the usual joyless, scolding "you're not allowed to ever enjoy things" hexbear cringe, most of it is also just flat-out wrong.

Points I agree with as a non-sushi eater:

1. Salmon and tuna fisheries are unsustainable, bad for the environment, and have adverse effects on Native-owned fisheries.
2. Westerners who enjoy sushi, or rather Westerners who make a point out of the fact that they enjoy sushi, tend to be pretentious and annoying shitlibs.
3. People should appreciate food that takes artisanal skill to make.

Regarding point 2: I used to be an annoying enough shitlib myself to watch Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, and I remember a bit in the 2021 episode about homelessness: John Oliver brought up NIMBYs in Claremont, {Tovaangar|(Los Angeles area)} rejecting affordable housing for homeless people as an example; and one of the Claremont residents interviewed was like, "How is that [an influx of formerly homeless people] going to impact crime? How is that going to impact the businesses out here? If they're low income, are they going to be spending money at the sushi place, or, y'know, or not?" — and John was like, "Oh No! Not The Sushi Place™!!" — and I still hear that in my head every time I think about Western sushi, especially sushi culture in suburban Seppoland: People deathly afraid of homeless people spoiling their forgettable isolated plastic suburban mcmansion hellscape's """image""" as a """refined""" and """"multicultural""" place.

Points I'd bring up:

1. Eating fish in general is cringe.

Points I disagree with:

1. Sushi is boring and innately un-artisanal
2. Cold food is unfit for human consumption
3. Fusion cuisine made to cater to the Western palate is an abomination

I disagree with this because I don't think it's good to judge culinary traditions, even if we don't like the people who eat it. But I'm also assuming this post is mainly made in jest anyways.

Reasons why vegan, self made sushi is great:

• It's cheap: rice, vinegar, veggies, nori and you're gtg
• You can easily make a lot of it. Scaling up the process is simple.
• It takes time, so not for every day, but isn't messy, which is ideal for an evening with friends: you make it together and talk and have fun while you do.
• Yes, it's not overly flavored, but that's because it's originally just a side dish to enjoy with drinks, so you can actually taste both. If you need more flavor, you can add sauces to taste.
• It's also good for packing cold lunch for a trip

It's just raw fish on rice with no seasonings except for soy sauce and wasabi.

The reason why your post is so wrong is that sushi does not mean raw fish or fish. Sushi means vinegar rice. Sushi can be made without fish.

It's just raw fish on rice with no seasonings

The rice is heavily seasoned tho and quite delicious in its own.

I like making vegan gimbap lol

Fish farms are also hideously cruel. Maybe even crueler than pig farms.

Fish are also usually left to die by suffocation after catching or collecting from farms.

Idk about the rest, I enjoy me some vegan sushi. It's mostly textural and sweet-sour-umami, like a good salad I guess.

All non-vegan food is reactionary.

First time I had sushi was last year. I'm vegetarian as of this year. It was fun while it lasted.

I think the vegetarian argument is a lot stronger than your palate argument.

agree about fish farming but not being able to find good sushi with distinct taste might be a skill issue ngl

On the Bluefin Tuna thing, apparently it’s not even a “traditional” sushi fish, its popularity in Japan is all recent.

My theory is better than yours, simpler too!

Sushi is Japanese. Japan is a Hitlerite nation that prostrates itself to the Burgerreich. Therefore sushi is Hitlerite.

Sees grocery store sushi

Yeah, I'll eat that garbage

I haven't ever seen a more correct opinion on the internet before. Thank you so much.
