On that category I paid for Fork (git client). You can pay to support the developers but the free version has the same features.


I don’t flush my toilet, I Kildwick [0] but J-pd has a more interesting comparaison

Did you try Tempeh? 20gr of protein / 150cal. It looks like a steak.

It's god's food: high prots, fibers, iron, vitamins, unsaturated fats. Low carbs and sodium. Super digestive.

Super versatile: from burgers to bolognese to barbecue to everything, even sweety for the courageous. My easy goto is a dip of whatever open sauce I already have and 1 min micro wave heating. A bit more time ? Fried on the pan with soy sauce, olive oil and some herbs afterwards.


The parent said "vegetarian meats" so I hope we can assume that's not meant to include tempeh and tofu (but rather things like TVP or mycoprotein products).

And while we're on the subject, Mike Israetel from Renaissance Periodization gives soy protein high marks for body builders. Good macros, good price, and highest amino acid profile score after milk/meat/eggs. Having tofu on hand is definitely helpful during a bulk.


if only soy and beans didn't rip my digestion to shreds.


Tempeh is easier to digest: the soy (fibers and amino acids) is pre-eaten by the mold.

I can drink milk but feel the same as you do with beans. When it’s fermented cheese I’m totally fine.

Can you eat falafels, tofu or slip peas? If so the hull may be the cause. Also beans trigger gaz on many people because they don’t eat much insoluble fibers, but after a while of regular consumption it comes back to normal. Don’t hurt yourself through, take care.


I can eat maybe one serving every few days regardless of the source. I can eat a lot of various fruits without issue(high fiber too). tofu is mostly ok. I have tried about once a year for 15-20 years.

I can eat a block of cheese a day and feel great. same with extremely lean chicken. When I try plants only without the problem foods, my energy and recover drops. I get depressed and I have huge protein cravings. If I try to squash that hunger with fats or carbs, I get fat. Just never been able to find a sustainable solution for my body


Fruits mostly contains soluble fibers, only their peel contains a bit of the insoluble one. For your next try consider instant mashed lentils/slip peas (flakes) or lots of mushrooms if you're rich enough. Adding a fair portion of hemp or nutritional yeast also increase the protein ratio. And tempeh is really a game changer. I wish the best for you.


I know tempeh is easily available in Indonesia, but how do you get it in bulk in the US?

All I see are tiny overpriced plastic packets.


Overlaps try to find a local producteur/enthousiast and buy it from him? Or make it yourself, it’s super cheap, but you need some time to learn and fin the right setup. Some people use an insulated chief master to produce reliable big batches at home. You can freeze the surplus.

> vegan parm

Have you tried nutritional yeast? I use it everywhere I’d put parm. The taste is a bit different but as much delicious.


Perhaps there isn’t much demand in your Tesco. Store brand (organic) soy milk is 0.9€ here in Paris which is cheaper than the organic cow alternative - which is subsidized btw.

6.5£ for seems super cheap for beef and I’m sure tofu can be even cheaper when optimized. I find it here at the same price but it’s organic and grown in France. I wish it become more popular where you live so the prices become more competitive.


Agree. As a side note McDonalds veggie nuggets are from behind meat and they rank equally to the chickens one one the taste and processing scales.


The regular nuggets are from behind meat. The veggie ones are from Beyond Meat.

(Yes, this is a "nuggets are made from butt meat" joke on a typo.)


The mcdonalds/wendys/etc nuggets are junk, injection molded meat paste in 4 shapes. You have to go to popeyes or chic fil a to get actual chicken nuggets.


> they rank equally to the chickens one one the taste and processing scales.

What does that even mean?


I wasn't clear by grouping a subjective and a (supposed) objective opinion. I mean:

- I'd give 6/10 to the regular nugget's taste, and 6/10 to the beyond meat (sorry for typo in precedent post).

- BM and regular are both highly processed food. 22 ingredients for the regular (not even counting "spices extracts"): https://www.mcdonalds.com/content/dam/sites/ch/nfl/pdf/2023_...


"The entire population" doesn’t want to eat only beef and drink milk, however those are way more subsidized than other food. The real winners are food mega corps and a few rich farmers.

Remove the targeted subsidies and "the entire population" will eat less meat and more peas. Subsidize the peas and not the meat and you’ll see vegans skyrocket.


Then how about the people with this moral preference subsidize pea farming and run the experiment on their own dime? How big are these subsidies for farming on a per-capita basis?

If it's too much you could do it for a smaller area ...

This hasn’t been the case since TLS1.3 (over 5 years ago) which reduced it to 1-RTT - or 0-RTT when keys are known (cached or preshared). Same with QUIC.


Good to know, however "when the keys are know" refers to a second visit (or request) of the site right ? That isn’t helpful for the first data paquets - at least that what I understand from the site.


Without cached data from a previous visit, 1-RTT mode works even if you've never vistited the site before (https://blog.cloudflare.com/rfc-8446-aka-tls-1-3/#1-rtt-mode). It can fall back to 2-RTT if something funky happens, but that shouldn't happen in most cases.

0-RTT works after the first handshake, but enabling it allows for some forms of replay attacks so that may not be something you want to use for anything hosting an API unless you've designed your API around it.


Here's the original report [0]. The writers are SACN and COT. If someone from UK could confirm their reputation, I don't know them but a quick search doesn't inspire confidence:

> At least 11 of the 17 members of the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) have ties to companies including Nestle and the world’s largest ice cream producer, Unilever. [1]

> More than half the members of the Committee on Toxicology have recent links to the food and chemicals industries and last year it disagreed with the European regulator’s proposal to cut the safe level of BPA [1]

Seems a shame they're paid by public found

> These fortifications come from [...]

Many baby's brewage or powder are also skimmed and re-enriched with fortifiants AWA most cereals and salts. Caw milk has more Calcium and Phosphorus but Soy milk gets more Iron, Magnesium, Fibers and Polyunsaturated Fats. You easily get P from lentils and Ca from green vegetables, without fortifiant.

Milk protein efficiency is 25% [0], this means with 1kg of soy you either get 380g of soy protein or 95g of whey. Accounting for a bio-disponibility of 0.95 the ratio is still 1/3.8! This is so inefficient that a lot is wasted in US and Brazils :

> 97% of U.S. soybean meal goes to feed livestock and poultry. [1]
