White people are afraid of spices, they activate their yakubian self destruct instincts

Let's not forget the Mediterranean cuisine either. Falafel. Hummus. Baba Ganouj, Dolmas... crap I've made myself hungry now.

I'm vegan for a while now and live in Europe. In the past, vegan options were creative and often good and now it's this fake meat all over. I wish I lived closer to India then to America

With the power of spices... I lived in an apartment with Indians as neighbours 2 floors beneath.

There wasn't a single day when you couldn't smell all spices combined when you walked past their apartment. It was ... an interesting smell...😮‍💨 I don't believe they could smell/taste the original flavours of their food

Nice neighbours though

This has to be the most eat pray love meme I've ever seen. Hindus are vegetarian not vegan (disclaimer: they aren't a monolith) and use a lot of ghee (milk product). That brown dude looks like a Sikh; they are typically not vegetarian or vegan.

I saw a middle-eastern cookbook and was reminded of how vegetarian food is pretty solid everywhere outside of many parts of the Anglosphere. Even then, the stuff is there but it's not really given the thought it deserves.

How to make a meme after glancing for 30 seconds on veganism on google.

When people complain about vegan diets lacking in x, y, or z I always point out that our diets are culturally balanced, as well as being balanced by the addition of vitamins to staple foods. If we all became deficient in say, iron, we would start fortifying iron in our water, flour, salt, rice etc, while at the same time we would culturally move towards eating more black beans and spinach than we currently do. When an individual removes a food group from their diet, it's only reasonable that you will have to intentionally rebalance your diet in other places. This isn't a deficiency inherent in a vegan diet.

If you have to supplement a vitamin or mineral that's just part of your diet, so don't @ me with your natural=good nonsense.
