Some vegan cheeses are ok, depending on what cheese niche you're trying to replace. Applewood do a block that's a decent mild/sweet cheese like a Jarlsberg sort of thing. Mozzarella for pizzas is adequate if you get the right one. And there's someone doing little camemberts which bake up beautifully, can't remember what they're called but Sainsbury's has them and probably other shops too. Still to find a good mature cheddar replacement, among other notable absences, but it's getting better. However: Angrymog posted:Re: vegan cheese - it's also full of carbs compared to actual cheese which is full of protein. Yep, this is a trap for the unwary.

Well, it's the season, so am trundling off out to get double-penetrated like your mum with covid and flu vaxxes. Cultivating a fine collection of Bill Gates' 5G nanobots.

Most vegan cheeses I've had have been awful but I had this vegan feta once which was actually incredible and I couldn't get enough of it. It was in a garlic oil though which probably helped.

I quite like that vegan feta they do in sainos, tastes pretty close to the real thing imo.I just can't get over the stickiness of coconut oil-based cheddar and mozzarella though. I guess vegan cheesesmiths haven't had the advantage of thousands of years of tradition. Maybe we'll get good replacements in time.

Individual actions don't do much. But neither does voting and you all do that....well you did. This argument didn't even kick off with anyone saying you should all become vegan. It was started because someone got agitated that on the topic of "individual actions" veganism is often the top suggested one. I'm personally not even vegan, but I have taken steps to reduce my various harmful outputs. I've sold my car, I've hugely reduced my beef intake, switched to mostly oat milk and changed my electricity supplier to be 100% renewable. I've done these things because I'm privileged enough that I can and I believe that if enough people do them we might just buy enough time to avoid the worst of what's to come. It's easy to just shrug and say "we are hosed so why bother" but even a difference between 2.4c and 2.5c could be hundreds of thousands of lives. I also badger my MP about the issue regularly. Because fracking showed even the Tories can have their minds changed on some of it. Mega Comrade fucked around with this message at 09:49 on Oct 29, 2022 |

Eating veggie is a lot easier than 20 years ago, both for eating out  and selection and quality of meat replacement/stand-in products Normally do 2 or 3 days a week without really trying The only viable solutions to climate change are well known and in direct opposition to the continued existence of capitalism.

Apparently, I'm so exhausted that as I was getting ready to go on holiday today, I contacted the hotel to ask if they could arrange a hotel pick up and their response was "Um, aren't you checking in tomorrow?" Turns out that yes, I am indeed going on holiday tomorrow, not today. Just as well I'm going on holiday, I suppose.

There’s a difference between individual actions that aim to change individual circumstances and individual actions that are done collectively to address a systemic issue. The impact is nonlinear when it comes to the latter. The problem isn’t individual actions, it’s that a systemic problem requires a systemic solution.

happyhippy posted:Been a veggie since roughly 1995. Quorn, we had quorn and tins of "quorn pretending to be other things like mince" There is a problem with this chart and every chart like it, in that global shipping emissions are not counted on any statistics, they should really be in a slice on their own but no one knows how much is being pumped out. The rules don't say if they are accountable to country of origin, arrival, or where the ship is registered, so no one is writing anything down. This gives absolutely no incentive for the ships to be even remotely efficient or clean. Couple this with WTO rules and you have hidden ecological nightmare.

Any upgrades to engines right out of the 1950s is going to see numbers radically go down right away.

big scary monsters posted:The main problem with veganism is that nobody has been able to figure out a decent cheese replacement yet. I've tried a lot of vegan "cheeses" and they are all complete crap. Meat is easy to replace, but that good curdled cow squeezing, there's just no substitute. Blue cheese in particular, I've had some good ones, because the main taste in blue cheese is mould and they can use the exact same mould as in e.g. Roquefort since it's vegan.

And all the animals drew near to him and said, "We do not like to see you so sad. Ask us for whatever you wish and you shall have it." The Man said, "I want to have good sight." The vulture replied, "You shall have mine." The Man said, "I want to be strong." The jaguar said, "You shall be strong like me." Then the Man said, "I long to know the secrets of the earth." The serpent replied, "I will show them to you." And so it went with all the animals. And when the Man had all the gifts that they could give, he left. Then the owl said to the other animals, "Now the Man knows much, he'll be able to do many things. Suddenly I am afraid." The deer said, "The Man has all that he needs. Now his sadness will stop." But the owl replied, "No. I saw a hole in the Man, deep like a hunger he will never fill. It is what makes him sad and what makes him want. He will go on taking and taking, until one day the World will say, 'I am no more and I have nothing left to give.'

Jeherrin posted:https://www.freightened.com Yeah, if we had nuclear powered container ships, the emission change would be immense, but obvs you then have the potential for radiation leaks etc. I guess some alternatives are Age of Sail 2.0, Super-duper global electric rail with a bridge over the Bering strait, or just NOT doing global shipping for the vast majority of consumer items. The latter would be tricky considering the raw materials required for things like electronics aren't exactly evenly distributed.

Cargo ships are actually a net climate positive? I don't know why you're acting like their emissions mysterious dissappear like no climate scientist over the last 30 years has ever thought about estimating shipping emissions. So, cargo shipping uses bunker fuel - low grade, low quality oil with massive amounts of sulphur it in. This is because it's cheap and a cargo ship is big enough to easily fit the massive engine required to process it. This is why ships make more sulphur than cars - car fuel doesn't have any sulphur in it, ship fuel does. All the sulphur released during the burning over the ocean create white clouds that reflect sunlight over a normally cloudless ocean, which cools the planet down the same way ice does. The climate impact of this actually outweighs the carbon from the fuel - it's the origin of some geoengineering ideas with SO2. Problem is SO2 is also a air pollutant hazardous to human health, so while releasing it in the open ocean is fine, when ships sail into port they trash the whole surrounding areas air quality. Hence a slow shift in cargo shipping to use LNG as a fuel, rather than bunker oil, even thought it might be worse for the global climate. All this besides, the lorry taking the container 50 miles inland from the cargo port is producing more CO2/kg than the cargo ship does shipping it all from China. Water shipping is a very efficient method of transport and we should use it more, not less. Local does not mean green. Nothingtoseehere fucked around with this message at 12:40 on Oct 29, 2022 |

Burning bunker fuel with no filters leaks more radiation than almost any failure mode of a nuclear vessel. Plus sea is big so reactor water rapidly dilutes to "being somewhere near an ocean vent or several walnuts" levels, whereas oil and exhaust emissions don't.

That is the other issue - you got ships transporting vast quantities of oil and toxic waste that look like they belong in a wrecking yard, and they belong to, or are used by, companies raking in billions. Without oversight, we are going to see more and more marine ecological disasters as these things finally rust though and fall apart.
