Ah, Beans
Weird that it wouldn’t show the alt text, but it says
As People Increasingly Swap Beans For Meat, Risk of More Bean Memes on Lemmy Grows
I’d love to but I just cannot stand beans. Not the taste, not the texture. Even if they onl consist like 10% of the dish it can sometimes be too much for me.
People continue to be amazed by everyone sliding into poverty.
There are environmental and ethical reasons to do this. Not just cost
Would love to eat more beans but the result for me is always quite…farty
Recently started the Mediterranean diet, we’re allowed to eat as many legumes as we like.
We’re a bean family now
Sure. Sure there are.
No reasons at at like that really if you think about it
To produce 1 kg of protein from kidney beans required approximately eighteen times less land, ten times less water, nine times less fuel, twelve times less fertilizer and ten times less pesticide in comparison to producing 1 kg of protein from beef
I just don’t think enough people care about this to make a huge difference. This has been true for some time now and the impact has been noticiable but it was more or less steady. Just look at meat alternatives slowly gaining more of the market.
The more recent development is almost certainly due to extreme prices of meat especially beef because of the Iran-US war.
the bean > the meat
Beware the tiddy beans
Well…
He is rather large and they provide substantial nutritional benefits.
they’re good for his heart.
The more you eat the more you feel the dietary and nutritional benefits of this high-protein, high-fiber treat.
Fart.
Please don’t forget the folic acid.
He saw beans… lots of beans lots of beans lots of beans, yeah, beans… lots of beans lots of beans lots of beans yeah yeah!
I had a friend named Trevor when this got big. Just saying something was ‘magical’ in his presence was enough to get him to crash out
For real though, beans of all kinds are nutrient dense
Eat more nutritional yeast. It’s yummy and savory. Really good on popcorn or mixed with olive oil and spread on toast.
Nutritional yeast is amazing and has a horrible name. Like monosodium glutemate.
And calling it “nooch” isn’t a whole lot better. Sounds like shitty alcohol or an anatomical euphemism.
Sounds like something hippies cultivate in their armpits.
The furry site?
Love kombucha, kimchee, yogurt, beer, soy sauce, sauerkraut, bread… can’t stand nutritional yeast. It goes straight to my sinuses and stings them.
Even better use nooch with your beans!
Love noochy beans
Purée garlic, nutritional yeast, and olive oil. Put that on pizza.
Thank you for the reminder. I’ve been wanting to try it on popcorn for ages
My kids love it that way.
I do churro/snickerdoodle popcorn all the time (turn Churro flavor into snickerdoodle with cream of tartar). I just met this amazing pepper guy who lives one town over and I’ve been doing basically a Santa María steak rub with added habanero powder (grew them himself). I’ve been in love with that for the last few months but I pretty much use my BBQ spice cabinet as popcorn seasonings too. It’s delicious.
Bean there, done that
Wouldnt a person be swapping meat for beans, though?
Beans. Beans. Beans. Beans.
Memey beans.
“swap beans for meat” is a valid way to say “beans instead of meat”
https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/23360/substitute-x-for-y
as a linguistics graduate, that doesn’t make sense
Please stop posting this as an authority saying it’s valid. It’s an internet discussion with a robust debate about whether it’s valid or ambiguous, which means it’s ambiguous. The only valid conclusion here is that while one might have their own convention on this, it’s not universal and this should be phrased another way. “Replace meat with beans,” for example.
Unless you’re in a restaurant, where they live in opposite land for some reason
So in an Australian restaurant?
Don’t make fun of vegetarians. We are still human beans.
And a real hero, a real human bean
Makes me think of ‘E pluribus anus’ for some reason…
