agree leastaways cauli/brocoli don't work even when steamed, probably need to have been blanched before freezing too.
shrinked product overheads Many products available in bigger quantities - juice/2L, cheese, milk, multi-packs, to reduce packaging overheads,
consumer needs to develop budgetting/cooking skills their predecessors had - epitomized by hello-fresh/gastro BS with small quantities.

lol, We clear land and deforest the amazon for animal agriculture and their feed, not to grow some veg.
Most crops grown are to feed the 80 billion land animals we raise and kill, maybe fact check stuff you hear from people like joe rogan.
So in other words, if you're concerned with "innocent insects and wildlife" you should still be vegan.

Depends on the situation. I don't mind, peas, sweatcorn and carrots they are my go to, come out find when boiled, frozen onions are good in a spag bog, but are soggy when frying. I do buy frozen spinich but it taste different to fresh ill eat it with some spices though.
Frozen pepers are the worst though, I tried them once never again I have never had such a slimy disgusting thing before, only fresh crunchy ones now!

Sure animals may also have an impact but to deny the impact of human cultivation anywhere whether animal or plant. Your agument about the majority of crops being used to feed animals is only partly correct. Around 62% of cereal crops are used as animal feed however there are significantly more crops produced other than cereal crops, even more so when you factor in all those it's not a majority.
I don't watch Joe Rogan or any of those people I don't care about them, nice try though.
And no I wont be vegan I like meat too much and it tastes good nothing beats a nice juicy steak supplemented with some nice vegan asparagus and mushrooms.
Frankly while some arguments vegans make are good, they are also very hypocritical.
Can Vegans Eat Avocados? What You Need To Know
In this post, we explore the ethical dilemma of eating avocado & almonds pollinated by migratory bees as it relates to veganism. Let's see can Vegans eat Avocados?
theminimalistvegan.com
Migratory bees are used and exploited to grow vasts amount of "vegan" food, sure it can be argued it's the lesser of two evils, but it's still exploitation nethertheless.
Unless someone goes off grid and grows everything themselves there's no control on the impact. Likewise, my point about there being less flora and faunda in croplands also stands, with insects actively being killed off due to being pests. Sure dolly the sheep hasn't been killed but all the insects have.
Until meat can be grown in a lab you wont change the world. (I do think this will happen one day)

Because Star Trek is cool and i'd love to be able to press 1 button and have a filet produced right in front of me.
In all serious though, the system doesn't bother me, if it's grown in the lab, costs the same and tastes the same, i'm game.

I'd rather eat McDonald's than lab grown meat.

Now you're sounding like piers morgan, hes obsessed with avocados and "bee rights" funny that he (and you it seems) don't appear to be too concerned with pigs being put into gas chambers or cows forced into a box and violently killed though....
I've heard about them being shipped in for some almond milk apparently, but no doubt far more will be killed in the honey industry.
Veganism isn't perfect for sure but its certainly a reduction in suffering.

I used links from vegan websites and you resort to insulting me.
Doesn't surprise me you vegans are all the same.
Enjoy your life.
I'll enjoy my delicious meals.
Why if the product is the same? What difference does it make?
Soldato
Don't have a problem with the articles you posted, you're insulted because I likened you to piers morgan?
and I thought us vegans were the sensitive ones.
Been a few months since we had this one, I'd completely forgotten about your pity party last time

Sadly its in the news again.
Sadly so, and will be for some time.
I don't think it's unjustified for luxury items tbh, as a society we've been living like kings for the last few decades. Where I worry is actual every day items like bread, milk, eggs etc. People can cut down on chocolate and energy drinks, but families still need to be fed.

It's just not right, it can't be the same.
the 'news' suggests abattoir pig abuses were pictures from 2021 - WTF delinquent not to release them to authorities immediately
consumer has to get used to being flexitarian with occasional high quality meat,
that said, people forget, or never knew, how protein used to taste, farmed salmon is the new normal etc.
yes it won't be the same - in the same manner that eggs from our local farmers chickens taste better than Aldi standard rspca assured, or organic free range chicken tastes better,

Aldi baked beans. Was 420g Corale, now 410g Bramwells, and the 4 tins for X offer has been removed, and the 4 for X offer replaced the 4 packs that they had for as long as there has been an Aldi here (15+ years).

also at Aldi, when there was the egg shortage earlier this year there was one week where they only had golden yolk eggs that cost a bit more than the standard ones so I got them then. Since then I've continued to buy them as I like them better, especially for boiled eggs.

Some people probably never had veg cooked properly. Love brussels sprouts but not when they are grey n mushy
