Wow, folded like a cheap card table the minute they got you on the ropes. Nice.
Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.

Seitan can be a bit complicated, for sure. The above recipe is definitely not the simplest out there, but it is absolutely delicious. It can be made with regular ol' flour instead of "vital wheat gluten" powder, but that does add a little bit to the complexity.
That said, here's an extremely simple "2 Ingredient" recipe for seitan made with flour. Like tofu, seitan will soak up flavors well, and can be used to simulate almost any meat depending on how you prepare it.
Also, I recommend checking out Sauce Stache (website : youtube) for excellent vegan recipes (including plenty for seitan). Thee Burger Dude is another great source of vegan recipe wisdom (website : youtube).
You don't have to use meat if you don't eat it.
Seitan roast with potatoes, onions, and carrots is divine.
Highly recommend this recipe.
Lucky for you the linked article explains the acronym!
Wait, you're not one of those people who only reads headlines, are you?
If you can't come up with any answers to those questions on your own then I don't think it's worth my time responding to this.
but I think it might be!
I shared it because I think it's important that we understand how the right organizes to weaponize our beliefs against us. Trans people may understand it intimately, but not everyone on the left does.
The republicans have been very effective in hiding what they truly believe to get votes. It's working extremely well for them, in fact, as we can see now. They read the room, then keep quiet about certain policies that would cause voters to shy away from them.
I'm not saying that's the tactic the left should take, but it's worth study and thought. If harm reduction and generational policy shifting is the goal, we may need to be a little more coy about messaging. If harm reduction isn't the goal, then I'm going to need to be brought up to speed on the plan for revolution.
