  Vegan here, no not really. The energy industry just needed a scapegoat for soy subsidies and overproduction.

    That’s all true… although I’m a shitty vegan who eats a Fuck ton of soy. 😅

  Not vegan per se but I eat a block of tofu a day as well as another several servings of roasted edamame most days. Like 6-8 servings per day on average

    Girl that is like so much soy 😭😭😭 you’re like the potato guy* I met but for soy

    *potato guy: decided to eat only potatoes for 6 weeks, slight amount of milk and salt being a treat on the weekends. He heard that potatoes had all essential nutrients. He gave up bc he became ill in that last week. Yes he’s heterosexual.

      Honestly if I’m feeling a bit peckish and fancy a sneaky snack I’ll burn down a rainforest, grow a load of soy (…beans?), eat them, then find a gentle gorilla with eyes that reveal deep wisdom as it tearfully surveys the smouldering ruins of it’s ancient homeland and just punch the fucker in the face. Sometimes I don’t even log it in my calorie counter.

  Am vegan. Certainly don’t eat nearly as much as @Carnelian@lemmy.world. But it is a pretty flexible food. Like, I can get soy yoghurt that tastes like the real deal. I can get TVP, which is chewy like a steak. I just had fucking noodles out of 85% soy + 15% chickpeas, and they actually tasted good. And of course, the all-time classic: Soy sauce.

  I don’t stan for it nearly as much as many others, because other legumes and nuts are awesome, too, but you just can’t deny that soy covers a lot of bases quite well.
