       Indian Turanist complains about Indian diet:

       [quote]Indian vegetarian diets without eggs and meat are
       absolutely horrendous for getting adequate protein. They're
       simply stuffed with carbohydrates and fat. Unless you are
       drinking liters of milk daily, and even then it maynot be
       enough.
       Eat eggs or meat.
       [quote]If you like it eggs thats fine. Go and advocate for it
       But please don’t spread the false propaganda that vegetarian
       diet isn’t good for mental/physical health.
       In my observation good that kids receive in Government school is
       often far better than in American schools[/quote]

       Indians should discuss diet using Indian concepts:
  HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sattvic_diet
       [quote]Sedative foods, also called static foods, or tamasic
       foods, are foods whose consumption, according to Yoga, are
       harmful to both mind and body. Harm to mind includes anything
       that will lead to a duller, less refined state of consciousness.
       ...
       Static foods stimulate and strengthen the lower two chakras, but
       will not assist in beneficial development of the higher chakras.
       In fact, they are usually detrimental to the advancement of the
       higher chakras.
       Such foods sometimes include: meat, fish, fertilized eggs,
       onion, garlic, scallion, leek, chive, mushroom, alcoholic
       beverage, durian (fruit), blue cheese, opium, and stale
       food.[/quote]

       More visibility at last:
  HTML https://www.yahoo.com/news/black-communities-leading-vegan-revolution-134000361.html
       [quote]reports have shown that Black people are leading the
       numbers in vegan and plant-based eating. In the past 10 years,
       reports have shown that Black Americans were nearly three times
       more likely to follow a vegan diet. In 2021, a Gallup poll
       reported that 31% of nonwhite respondents cut back on their meat
       consumption within the year prior compared to 19% of white
       respondents. And a 2015 survey conducted by the Vegetarian
       Resource Group found that 8% of Black Americans reported never
       eating meat, fish, or poultry, compared to 3.4% of the overall
       population.
       Rooted in history
       Advocates and Black vegans themselves are not surprised by these
       numbers. As a counter narrative to exclusive, coastal, and
       expensive options at retailers like Whole Foods or Erewhon,
       veganism and plant-based options have been ingrained in
       predominantly Black communities for much of the 20th century and
       beyond.
       ...
       The roots of Black veganism and vegetarianism go through many
       subcultures of Black America and the diaspora: from
       Rastafarianism, the Nation of Islam, and early hip-hop culture.
       ...
       Black vegans are taking to social media to provide guides and
       recipes on how to prepare fresh foods once they're in the hands
       of those who need it. Collectively, vegan chefs and influencers
       alike have amassed millions of followers connected to vegan and
       plant-based cooking.
       "I have seen how specifically Black communities, for example,
       are using the internet and social media to advocate for, and
       promote, their vegan food options and businesses in a way that
       didn't exist even 15 years ago," Dr. Harper said.  "I think of
       how Tabitha Brown, Brenda Sanders, Tracye McQuirter, Kai Nortey,
       and Badass Vegan have used cyber technology to create a more
       diverse way to narrate and promote veganism."
       Celebrities have also advocated for veganism. In 2019, Beyoncé
       and Jay-Z offered fans the chance to win tickets to their
       concerts for life if they incorporated more plant-based meals
       into their diets. Venus Williams has spoken about how a raw
       plant-based diet helped her manage an autoimmune disease.
       The deeply-rooted cultural significance of plant-based and vegan
       alternatives remains the key to the often overlooked popularity
       within Black communities. Dissecting it from continued trends
       and promoting its connection to issues related to individual
       well being, environmental health, and generational community
       development remains at the core of the Afro-Vegan Society's
       mission.
       "We must divorce the idea of plant-based alternatives from
       trends, from the idea that it has to be expensive, or that it
       somehow runs counter to our culture," Afro-Vegan Society founder
       Sanders said. "There are so many different problems that can
       start to be addressed by this one change.[/quote]
       We are not surprised by these findings either:

       [quote]A major food influencer is under fire for
       misappropriating an Asian dish for the second time, as she's now
       accused of deleting comments
       ...
       Tieghan Gerard, the cook behind the popular food blog Half Baked
       Harvest, is under fire for misappropriating a Vietnamese recipe.
       This is not the first time Gerard has been accused of
       misrepresenting Asian food.
       On March 7, Gerard shared a recipe for "25 Minute Ginger Sesame
       Banh Mi Rice Bowls" to her Instagram account of 5.2 million
       followers. Quickly, commenters pointed out that Gerard's "Banh
       Mi Rice Bowl" was an oxymoron: In Vietnamese, bánh mì
       (pronounced "bun-mee" and was mispronounced by Gerard as
       "bon-my") means bread.
       "The concept of a Bánh Mì rice bowl simply doesn't make sense,"
       one commenter wrote. "Why not call it 'Vietnamese-Inspired Rice
       Bowl' or 'Sweet and Spicy Rice Bowl'?"
       ...
       Commenters asked Gerard to "acknowledge the mistake" and employ
       a "growth mindset" to cultural sensitivity, nodding to her 5.2
       million followers: "You have a platform, make it right."[/quote]
       I ask Gerard to voluntarily refrain from reproducing. Not that
       she will listen. Which is why we need state control over
       reproduction.
       [quote]Gerard has yet to publicly address concerned comments,
       and her followers have grown frustrated by her silence.  Some
       said they unfollowed Gerard because they feel she lacks
       self-awareness and accountability. Comments are also pouring in
       that accuse the influencer of deleting their critical comments.
       Criticism can also be found underneath the original recipe that
       she first shared to her website on March 1 where Gerard seems to
       be only responding to positive feedback. One fan wrote that she
       is "ignoring the comments of Vietnamese followers even as [she]
       peddles their culture."
       ...
       Two years later, as Gerard's Instagram account has grown by more
       than 2 million, it's uncertain how Gerard will face these new
       accusations of cultural appropriation. So far, Gerard has made
       no public acknowledgment. Gerard did not immediately respond to
       Insider's request for comment.[/quote]
       In other words, it's OK for influencers to be "white".
       Gerard also looks like what we would expect:

       Support Barilla! Our enemies report:
  HTML https://barenakedislam.com/2023/04/07/boycott-barilla-world-renowned-italian-pasta-maker-has-now-become-sharia-compliant/
       [quote]Carbonara is a beloved and iconic Italian dish made with
       eggs, pancetta (pork belly), pecorino cheese, and black pepper.
       However, the absence of pork in Barilla’s version has led some
       to accuse the company of “cultural appropriation” and pandering
       to Muslims at the expense of Italian cuisine.
       Conservatives Matteo Salvini and Italy’s Prime Minster Giorgia
       Meloni have criticized Barilla’s latest film, “Open Carbonara,”
       for its pork-free version of the traditional dish. Critics have
       accused the company of betraying Italian culinary heritage,
       stating that it is an act of cultural submission and
       inappropriate to alter the country’s traditional dishes.
       Left-wing Barilla has stood by its “Open Carbonara” film despite
       the massive backlash. Barilla’s accommodation of sharia-adherent
       Islamic refugees and its “Open Carbonara” film is another
       example of how easily the left will surrender their country’s
       culture and traditions.[/quote]

       foods from foreign lands that are now celebrated as traditional

       sugarcane, eggplants, and durum wheat, which is used to make
       pasta.[33][/quote]
       Homework: were the Arabs who enabled Italy to produce pasta
       likely to have been pork-eaters?

       When I go vegan, what will I drink with my cereal? I obviously
       can't drink milk. I just became vegetarian, so I need time to
       adjust to decolonization.

       I assume you are referring to cornflakes etc.?
  HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soy_milk
       Note that the above name is a bad translation caused by
       Turanian-friendly marketing:
       [quote]Its original form is an intermediate product of the
       manufacture of tofu. Originating in China, it became a common
       beverage in Europe and North America in the latter half of the
       20th century, especially as production techniques were developed
       to give it a taste and consistency more closely resembling that
       of dairy milk.
       ...
       In China, the usual term 豆浆 dòujiāng (lit.
       "bean broth") is used for the traditional watery and beany
       beverage produced as an intermediate product in the production
       of tofu, whereas store-bought products designed to imitate the
       flavor and consistency of dairy milk, may contain a mixture of
       dairy and soy, are more often known as 豆奶
       dòunǎi ("bean milk").[/quote]
       I academically agree with the following objection, though from
       the opposite perspective:
       [quote]The naming of soy drink as soy milk became subject of a
       2017 court case before the Court of Justice of the European
       Union after a German consumer protection group filed an unfair
       competition complaint about a company describing its soya and
       tofu products as 'milk' or 'cheese'.[/quote]
       The point is that bean broth was not invented as a substitute
       for dairy milk, but was invented by people who never had a habit
       of consuming dairy in the first place!

       (By the way, it is also perfectly possible to eat cornflakes
       with water. I myself have done this on multiple occasions in the
       past (e.g. in Western office pantries) when the only available
       choices were milk and water.)

       Bean broth. Thanks! I also wanted to try almond 'milk' and rice
       'milk' as well. I've had sweetened rice ice cream in the past,
       and it was nearly indistinguishable from the real thing.
