Come join the Vegan Home Cooks! Participation is really easy, just take a picture of what you cooked today and post it, no recipes needed. ------------------------------------- This is a public forum for a discord server [https://discord.gg/muuz7C6ZKx] of friends who are all vegans and cook at home for their families. We are here to share some inspiration, to see what others are doing and to stay engaged in something that is both our hobby and a required task. This forum is not a “food porn” community, a recipe book or a place to teach you how to cook. It is a place for people who already cook to meet other people like themselves and provide on topic support and conversation as much as long distance friends on the internet can do. We are doing show and tell about what we made and we don’t care about its instagram worthiness. Veganism isn’t a diet but I have to eat every day. This is for the vegan home cooks. Anything non vegan will be deleted. ------------------------------------- Rules 1. Be Vegan. If it is not vegan it doesn’t belong here… or anywhere. 2. Post home cooking. No restaurant or fast food. This is what every other vegan space is about and we don’t want to promote any large or small business tyrants. 3. Join the Discord [https://discord.gg/muuz7C6ZKx] We’re an active community of vegan home cooks that like to talk about what we are cooking today. 4. Do not make any rude comments or digs at anyone’s food, cooking style, specific diet, restrictions or technique. While we are all cooks, we all have different requirements and we’re not asking for help, we are doing show and tell. 5. Do not use trademarked brands Use generic names. We’re cooking with tvp not whatever business brands it and we’re not trying to turn comrades into billboards. No plant-based vegan-pandering capitalist crap like Impossible, Beyond, Dairy-company owned “vegan” cheese. 6. Do not ask for a recipe without otherwise engaging the OP (No posts that are just “recipe?”) [https://lemmy.world/post/13573879] We are not food bloggers. Sometimes we’re excited to share and will tell you the recipes we used but this isn’t required. Instead try doing your own research and tell us what you learned and we can talk about it. 7. Careful with making unasked for suggestions. Sometimes we like to hear suggestions but you should be nice about it and know the person you are making suggestions to. We are in the discord and you can get to know us that way. If you are just a visitor from the fediverse, this isn’t the place for you to start telling other people what to do. 8. Grown Ups Only. Cooking for our kids is great, Acting like one is not. While this isn’t a community for adult material we expect everyone who participates to be an adult and act like one. Please follow the Anarchists Code of Conduct. No profane usernames allowed.
Why do tofu skins contain lead?
In a spirit of adventure I tried tofu skins the other day. Searching through the numerous options at our large Asian market, it looked like we found one that didn't have the California lead advisory statement on the package - but later found one buried in the fine print.
We ate them anyway, and really like them, but wonder why they have lead. Internet searches so far haven't yielded any answers.
Does anyone here know why they contain lead?
PS / TIL: tofu skins apparently are not be confused with tofu curls.
Now taking suggestions on what to do with soy curls

I'm excited to announce some big changes for our Vegan Home Cooks. As many of you know, Lemmy has been our platform of choice and we are hosted on the largest Lemmy instance lemmy.world. However, it's time for us to evolve and move to our own instance. Let me explain why.
Lemmy.world, while a significant player in the Lemmy universe, has diverged in its vision and management from what we seek in a platform. The admins there have different political and operational views that don't align with our goals. This is no slight against them; it's just a matter of different paths.
It's important to recognize that Lemmy is, at its heart, a passion project. Developed by talented individuals driven by their ideals rather than corporate goals, it operates on a scale that's more hobbyist than mass-market. This has its charms, but it also means that development isn't as rapid as one might expect in a more commercial environment.
The thing is, this approach works for many in the Lemmy community. The developers, supported by donations, have been content with this pace and scale. Even major instances have been okay with this grassroots, community-oriented approach. For a platform born out of a communal ethos rather than a corporate one, this isn't surprising.
However, things started shifting when Reddit made some API changes. Suddenly, Lemmy was thrust into the spotlight as a potential drop-in replacement for Reddit. This influx of users, many with expectations shaped by the slick efficiency of corporate tech, put an unprecedented strain on the platform and its developers. Imagine, a small, community-funded team suddenly dealing with the demands of 50,000 new users. It was a clash of cultures and expectations.
Lemmy.world stepped up during this influx. Run by volunteers, they took a more corporate approach to manage the surge. Their rapid growth brought them under the spotlight, attracting both hackers who exposed major flaws and users who demanded rapid scaling and development.
This brings us to the crux of the matter. There's a growing rift between the Lemmy developers and the team at lemmy.world. The developers, whose political views differ significantly from many in the Western tech sphere, run lemmy.ml with a distinct set of principles. The arrival of a large number of new users, many with different viewpoints, led to tensions and even bans.
This situation has led to a split within the community. A group of developers, frustrated with the direction and pace of Lemmy, are creating Sublinks – a Lemmy-compatible platform. Their plan? To eventually replace Lemmy, particularly on large instances like lemmy.world, effectively outmoding the original platform.
So, where does this leave us? We've been observing these developments and have concluded that the best way forward for our community is to establish our own Lemmy instance. This move will allow us to build a space that aligns with our values and needs, free from the external pressures and conflicts affecting the larger Lemmy ecosystem.
This is a big step, but it's one that opens up exciting opportunities. We'll have more control over our platform's direction and be able to create an environment that truly reflects our community's spirit and needs.

Thanks for everything @ruud@lemmy.world, you and your team have been a gracious host.
