One of these days we want to go to an Aldi North. 😀

That's such a great tip

We are so happy to be able to make other people smile. 😀

@@KrocksInTheKitchen You made me laugh out loud on a day when we had three mass shootings in this country, no easy task. Thanks for your content, much respect to you and your channel.

Thank you so much! 😀

Glad you enjoy it! 🙂

Thank you so much for watching! We are glad to have you as a subscriber. 😀

Sorry for all the typos. 20 grams of protein not fat 😂

🤣🤣🤣

I have definitely eaten expired tempeh…

I agree i always buy frozen riced cauliflower

I was just thinking the same thing to myself today while I was at trader Joe's! Every time I picked up something and looked at the ingredients there was palm oil so I put it back. I don't buy products that add oil anyway, but I was disappointed to see that it was palm oil...

If the packaging doesn´t crow about it having been ethically produced assume the palm oil source is unethical.

To me it does taste a bit different. But the real reason I like it more is the texture. It just seems to have a better texture. 😀

🤣🤣🤣

Why are you so concerned about protein? Humans are omnivores adapted to eat predominantly vegetables and fruit. We don't have the teeth to be meat eaters. Nutrients are more bio available to us through plants and there are increasing numbers of studies demonstrating that a whole food plant based (WFPB) diet/lifestyle is the healthiest we can possibly eat. Our guts are as significant as the brain - some researchers call the gut the second brain! - and so the right foods, without being pre-occupied by quantity but quality, is a good way to proceed. Check out the Blue Zones, those lifestyles teach us so much. The person you mention seems to be a controversial figure who eats and promotes lots of fatty and excessively protein filled products. Humans don't need as much protein as you seem to think. And, you can use a fantastic product called PB2 (fat reduced peanut butter powder) mixed with a little PB to make a much less fatty salad dressing, buddha bowl dressing or dessert ingredient with lots of protein. I mention that because that's what your Canadian dude is fighting about. I did one search and found some other dude called Remington James who called your guy out as a lier: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kJORf62TzJ6alnU.html If you want to follow someone who is closer to the lifestyle we here in this community follow then check out this vegan "strongman" Patrik Baboumian on YT. My brother follows him and he's not on about promoting his own products. As vegans we do share product tips as Brian and Jessica do here, because it's not always easy to find good products to fill our vegan pantries. You really need to do better quality research in my opinion. I would head to * Dr John McDougall's website (www.drmcdougall.com). You'll find links to his books (The Starch Solution), his wife Mary's free recipes, subscribe to his newsletters etc. There's 40 years of research you can access there and Dr McDougall appears every Monday on * Chef AJ's YT channel to give a lecture and Q&A. The movie set on Mars with Matt Damon where he lived on potatoes for a year is based on real research by Dr McDougall. No problem with protein. All the top vegan doctors and researchers are in alignment with the vegan community and Dr McDougall and the approach Brian and Jessica are following. If you don't mind Brian and Jessica, I'll share a few other websites which may help boost the tree of knowledge here: * www.chelseamae.com - a New Zealander who does skateboarding, running & and gym workouts and discusses nutrients among many other things (access her channel, IG etc. from her blog) *www.highcarbhannah.com - a fantastic blogger with super easy recipes always conscious of healthy fats and protein (again access her KZfaq channel, IG etc. from her blog. You can download free recipes and sauces from her website too) * plantifulkiki.com - another woman who has lost a lot of weight following Dr McDougall's eating plan, which she still does, she has a gentler approach to exercise (gardening, walking, hiking with her family). She has a blog full of WFPB recipes and she's written cookbooks too. She has really easy recipes too and has overcome some serious health problems following Dr McDougall's ideas. Her YT channel, IG etc are all accessible from her blog. * Cooking using an instant pot with Nisha, a Harvard educated lawyer with Indian heritage turned KZfaqr, IG etc: www.rainbowplantlife.com - great recipes! And the Instant Pot is a game changer and vegan's gift to prepare food fast. * Jenne Claiborne is a trained chef and now works out of her Atlanta base: sweetpotatosoul.com Jenne uses oil, salt and sugar, unlike many who are trying to lose weight but some really great food and she'll give you options to include and exclude. She is raising her baby as a vegan. * Dillon and Rebecca (Reebs) wellyourworld.com Dillon and Reebs follow an SOS free (salt, oil, sugar) diet and Dillon has developed some herbs and spices shakes, a good quality nutritional yeast and a few other products. Their YT channel, IG, FB etc. is available from their website. Dillon and Brian should have a chili and burgers cook off! Lucky last (there really are so many good vegan websites in our community!) is the sublime * Pick Up Limes (www.pickuplimes.com) This is now a 3 million plus YT channel, IG, blog etc. begun by a Canadian trained nutritionist Sadia and her Dutch/Indonesian fiancè Robin. They live in the Netherlands and Sadia, like Nisha, Jenne, Kiki and Hannah, she has become an amazing photographer which makes her YT channel and her IG and website an absolute delight. Sadia makes a great team, with fiancè Robin using his tech skills (he recently graduated with a PhD) to build a new app, with Sadia's food know how they have fantastic recipes with a European and Asian twist (just a little). Sadia includes protein all the time and explains food values. There are many other sites I could include, but these will give you a fantastic base to build your vegan food adventure along with lovely Brian's and Jessica's journey as well, you can't do better. Enjoy your journey and I hope you discover a way of eating where you're not worried about how much this is and how much that is. If you eat well, the food takes care of you. I've never been healthier after a life as a vegetarian (with health problems) and nearly 4 years as a vegan without problems.

One of the best lines I've ever heard on this subject is "Humans don't need protein. They need amino acids." Basically, all plants have every amino acid we need. But one can increase the amount they get by eating from sources like nuts, seeds, beans, and legumes. A person even only eating potatoes, can essentially get what the body needs. They just need to eat enough of them. 😀

@@KrocksInTheKitchen Many thanks for the reply! with all due respect, but do you ever consider your train of thought to be not true? Especially taking into account the fact that you have had some not so great moments in the past year. There are 9 essential amino acids that the brain and the rest of the body need in order to produce the necessary proteins it needs. And most of the brain, and organ receptors are made out of proteins synthetized from those aminoacids ( to mention the least). The reason I am asking is to see if you are taking any supplements

@@tosca... thanks for the lengthy reply! I have only mentioned Greg Doucette's video because he explaines in a very approachable vocabulary the theme. There might be other sources that i am not aware of. I am not necessarily a fan of anyone, i just need to make an informed decision.

I am more than happy to answer legit questions. And you've been nothing but respectful in your comments. I question everything and my opinions are always subject to change.🤣 However, here is why I think I'm right. A potato has all 9 essential amino acids. It just doesn't have them all together in a protein chain. And to get the basics of what you need in a day you need to eat around 5 average sized potatoes. Now, eventually you would run into some certain deficiencies if you ate nothing but potatoes but that is an extreme case anyway. But to answer your question about supplements... The only real supplement a plant based person needs is B12. At least that is the case until duck weed becomes widely available. I will take B12 sometimes and Vitamin D during the winter. Other than that I eat a variety of foods that give me what I need. If you want to look up some more information on this kind of stuff, look up Ray Cronise. That man knows his science. 😀

Still on the back burner. But it will return eventually. 😀

Dr. Fuhrman (and others) talk about why you should AVOID fortified nooch, due to the synthetic folic acid content. Synthetic folic acid's linked to increased incidence of colorectal, breast and prostate cancers :( I suppose how much & how often you use it would determine if you want to source one of the many UNfortified versions on the market.

@@pattycarlin1745 Ah, I see. Thanks for the info. I guess in my case I rarely eat fortified foods like cereals anyway. Plus, I usually buy frontier co-op nutritional yeast in bulk which is unfortified. Def something to consider for people who eat lots of fortified foods.

@@5ystemError Np...;) It's definitely a YMMV type of thing!
