Had an old block of tofu that needed to be used. Crumbling up tofu by hand is so much more satisfying than breaking up ground beef in a pan. I tossed it in double fermented soy sauce and squid brand fish sauce and baked it at 350F until it browned. The beans were kidney, black, garbanzo, and some tiny guys called “rice beans”
“Almost vegan” isn’t a thing. And it’s not even vegetarian.
Of course it is. The concept is harm reduction. If you aren’t able to make the entire leap-fine, reduce your reliance on animal products instead. Gatekeeping and belittling people ain’t it bud.
“Veganism” is total abstinence from animal products.
Something is either vegan or it’s not. It’s completely binary. Either it contains animal based products or it doesn’t.
Food that is mostly plant based is way better for the environment and animals than your average meat and dairy based meals, but it’s just not “almost vegan”. Labels have meanings and it should be like that so there’s no confusion.
For someone so keyed in on definitions you seem to have missed the definition of the word ‘almost’. Things can be more similar to one thing than another. For instance using fish sauce in dishes vs easting a hamburger. But thank you for sharing your apparently very binary view of the world.
Have you heard anyone say “almost halal” or “almost kosher”? No?
This is just as ridiculous.
I don’t understand your argument. Those are religious definitions, you also don’t say your “almost christian”.
Have you heard someone say “almost dry” or “almost complete”? Because “dry” and “complete” are also binary things.
It’s almost like context matters.
