interesting how when ppl mention they tricked ppl into eating v*gan food under the assumption it was normal food people are fine with it/happy but if you trick a v*gan into eating meat you’re a terrible person and it starts WW3
Both are awful, don't fuck with people's diets.
Honestly “tricking” a regular person into eating a vegan meal isn’t even tricking, it’s food, regular people don’t give a shit whether it has meat in it or not.
if you tell someone it’s meat but it’s actually a soy-based meat alternative it’s tricking. You better hope they don’t have a soy allergy 🙄
yeah i gotta chime in: i’m super allergic to multiple common vegan alternatives in recipes, like coconuts and bananas, so. yeah. i do care if it’s a vegan alternative because I Don’t Know What’s In That. if you serve me, hell, let’s say brownies, i’ll assume that they’re just regular everyday brownies.
and then you tell me they’re vegan and were made with bananas, and i’ve already figured that out because my throat is swelling and i feel like vomiting. and as the op said: some of the most common allergies are to soy and nuts. what if you ‘trick’ someone into eating tofu and it turns out they have an extreme soy allergy?
the issue has not at all been ‘people want animal products in their food’, the issue was clearly stated to be ‘don’t trick people into eating things they professed to not like, because it can put them in the goddamn hospital’.
Any kind of tricking people with foods is playing with a person’s life.
You can’t know everyone’s allergies, medical conditions, etc
So thats a real asshole move especially when the common alternatives to animal products are also very common allergens.Same thing with tricking people about whether something was made with animal products—dairy is a common allergen and lactose intolerance is rly common.
You can call it a joke all you want but when someone ends up in the hospital following anaphylaxis (if they’re lucky) do you really think it’ll be sufficient or acceptable to look them in the face and say “it was a joke”
Seitan is a common meat substitute, that is similar in texture (when properly prepared) to ground Italian sausage.
It's made entirely out of vital wheat gluten. Pure gluten.
It could KILL my parents.
