[header ID: a picture of the Sixth Doctor and Peri Brown from Doctor Who. Peri is holding a fan with a flowery pattern in front of her and is smiling at the viewer. she has short brown hair in a bob and is wearing a headband. her head is slightly tilted left, towards the Doctor next to her. the Doctor is looking at the viewer with an almost displeased look on his face. his body is facing Peri, and he is raising his back arm in the air. the Doctor has short blonde curly hair. he is wearing a multi coloured waistcoat, with a white shirt that has a red question mark on the collar, and a blue and white polka dot patterned cravat. behind them is a building /end ID]
[icon ID: a picture of Sergeant Benton from Doctor Who. he has short brown hair and is wearing a UNIT uniform, which is a green army jacket, paired with a red rope on his only visible shoulder, a white shirt, and a sort of grey ish coloured tie. he is taking his khaki beret off of his head as he looks up, with a distressed look on his face. there have been two swirls edited onto his face, the first one being coloured to match the aromantic flag, and the second one being coloured to match the asexual flag /end ID]

Mycoprotein is fucking cool, vat-grown meat is fucking cool, believe me I am fucking down for figuring out efficient calories and I’m interested in attempting to reduce or eliminate animal agriculture but you wouldn’t want me to sneak-feed you cricket flour, you don’t get to sneak-feed me your stuff.
I wouldn’t mind if you snuck-fed me cricket flour, actually. If cricket flour is indistinguishable from regular flour then sure, go for it.
I really don’t know what the initial gripe is about, though. The anonymous person you quote is not trying to sneak-feed you anything. They outright say “meatless alternative.” Is your problem that they may have GMOs? I genuinely have no idea what your complaint is, because you’re talking about people sneak-feeding you meatless stuff but your pics are all about GMO corn starch or whatever.
I have celiac disease and a corn allergy and a relative who wanted to try to pass off impossible burger as ground beef to prove how good meat alternatives are.
I don’t care about “gmo” and I dont care about the fact that it’s “textured protein” I care about “corn” and “wheat” and I care that people without food allergies rarely know how inescapable some of those allergens are.
“Oh, I checked the ingredients, it doesn’t have corn”
Okay but does it have maltodextrin, modified food starch, xanthan gum, caramel coloring, dextrose, or glucose syrup?
If it does have any of those things do they specifically say “from potatoes,” “from tapioca,” “from cane sugar” or “from rice”?
If it didn’t did you check the manufacturer’s website? If that didn’t say did you call the manufacturer?
Sometimes I’ll use almond or coconut flour as a replacement for wheat flour when I’m cooking. I do not try to pretend that my alternate flour chocolate chip cookies are wheat flour chocolate chip cookies because most people don’t expect to run into coconut or almond when they pick up a chocolate chip cookie. I don’t try to hand them to people, wait for them to eat a cookie, and say “hah, bet you didn’t think gluten free cookies could taste good, huh?” because if I did that to someone with a severe allergy it could kill them, but also because people should have a say in what they’re eating.
I’ve got no problem with beyond beef or impossible burger describing their products as meat alternatives, I’ve got no problem with GMOs or the fact that quorn is made out of a heavily engineered protein. That’s all very neat, actually.
But I do have a problem with people trying to sneakily serve meat alternatives without considering that doing so is shitty for a number of reasons.
Also, insect protein can cause severe reactions to people with shellfish allergies, so that’s another reason not to feed cricket flour to people without telling them.
And by severe reactions to shellfish/insect protein they mean ANAPHYLAXIS.
That’s medical speak for:
IT CAN KILL YOU.
Anaphylaxis can cause you to have difficulty breathing or stop breathing at all. It can cause a critical drop in blood pressure or send you into medical shock.
Never sneak ingredients into someone’s food. Especially if you know they have dietary restrictions, but even if you don’t know. They may not have told you.
the fact that SOME trans women and fems are enbyphobic and transmisandrist doesn't give ANYONE the right to misgender them, deadname them, or be otherwise transphobic/transmisogynistic.
i saw someone call a trans woman a "shemab" for holding those opinions, and that's not something we do here, folks!!! i won't tolerate that!!!
at the end of the day, trans women are our sisters and we should strive to be in community with them, as long as they show mutual respect. but name-calling and such behavior is NEVER acceptable.
I disagree. The They Might Be Giants song would be about having never seen a pencil before, but the title would be something like "What Is This Thing." Same with Lemon Demon, which would just be called "Mr Krabs." The other two are spot-on though.

it’s ok to keep secrets, everybody has some skeletons in the closet. Wraiths in the attic. Ghosts in the bedroom. Mummy in the kitchen. Enchanted armor on the stairs. Slimes in the basement. Maybe a giant spider in the backyard. Beholder or two in the garage. Vampires are also in the closet

was outside earlier and a bird Came Up, squatted down, fluttered it’s wings at me and opened its mouth like a hatchling begging for food (it was a grown female) so I went and checked the seed cube in the feeder and the thing was completely covered in mold. this is one of the weirdest things that’s ever happened to me. how did she know im the one in charge of the birdseed. How Did She Know To Pantomime Hunger At Me. Hello.
i have spent my afternoon confusedly getting dressed, driving to the store, purchasing a new seed block, driving home, washing the cage, and getting the feeder set back up. i don’t take this much care for my Own nutrition. ive been bullied into a grocery store run by a tufted titmouse. i feel so loved
