    That sounds amazing. Soy curls are probably my favorite meat substitute. They have a great texture. Luckily for you I'm pretty sure logs is traditional for spring rolls, at least when I've gotten...

    I needed to cook a bunch of stuff that I had laying around. I had some wheat tortillas, which I don't usually buy but I had got some La Tortilla Factory brand ones on a whim and they'd been sitting for a while. So I prepped some Soy Curls andsteamed potatoes that were about to sprout again. I put them and some jarred salsa in burritos and the end result was amazingly lush. The potatoes turned really creamy and the salsa added some nice acidity and saltiness to it.

    That sounds amazing. Soy curls are probably my favorite meat substitute. They have a great texture.

    As part of my spring roll addiction, I've tried to add tofu but instead of trying fruitlessly to grate it I just cut them into logs and it is a marked improvement; it adds the slightest bit of extra structure, which somehow makes the shredded veg less likely to fall out of the roll when dipping it into my sauce.

    Luckily for you I'm pretty sure logs is traditional for spring rolls, at least when I've gotten them at Vietnamese restaurants!

    Small correction: Cyberpunk still uses RED, they switched after.

    I feel like it's more to do with being anonymous. No accountability.

    But, I'm curious, what makes an obligate carnivore not good to eat besides biomagnification? I know people eat alligators.

    Should do the same for cats if this is considered a good solution for an invasive species.

    I think people blame food companies too much. They're just giving people what they want. When former NYC mayor Michael Bloomberg tried to ban oversized soda sizes, people revolted.

    People want what they sell because the food they make is purposefully addictive. It's loaded with sugar and fat specifically to hijack our survival instincts. It's like saying drug dealers don't deserve blame because they're just meeting demand. They're feeding people poison.

    Exactly. Why should your average person be culpable for what a government does, simply because they claim you as part of their "nation." It's all bullshit meant to control you, to make you think...

    Exactly. Why should your average person be culpable for what a government does, simply because they claim you as part of their "nation." It's all bullshit meant to control you, to make you think that a huge group of diverse people all share the same identity. It's accepted as fact now, but even 500 years ago, people would think it was an absurd concept. Nationalism has rotted peoples' brains.

    Jesus this is terrifying. I'd much rather talk to a cute looking robot like WALL-E than one that looks human. I really don't get the point of this.
