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]

"Muh protein" "muh carbs"

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]

Some history:

[quote]Arabs invaded Sicily in the 9th century, introducing
spinach, almonds, and rice.[34] They also brought with them
foods from foreign lands that are now celebrated as traditional
Italian foods: citrus fruit, artichokes, chickpeas, pistachios,
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.

Dietary Eurocentrist Kim:
HTML https://www.yahoo.com/news/kim-jong-un-gains-weight-103503761.html
[quote]Kim Jong-un gains weight again by ‘gorging on foreign
snacks and alcohol’[/quote]
When they say "foreign", can you guess which particular foreign
cuisine is involved?
[quote]He is known to enjoy whiskey and cognac, reportedly
spending more than £24 million every year on imports of luxury
liqueurs from overseas.
Kim is also known to enjoy fine foods, particularly caviar and
cheese.
In 2014, it was reported that he had eaten so much Swiss
emmental cheese that he had to retreat from public view to
recover.[/quote]
