    That means you’re cured of the vegan curse, you can eat real food again like hamburger helper or lutefisk!

      It’s a screenshot of a screenshot. Someone posted on the subreddit mildlyinteresting about olive oil and egg. Then someone else screenshotted that and posted it on vegancirclejerk lamenting about eggs.

      Then it got acreenshotted and posted here.

      So yes olive oil is vegan and no that was not the claim made by the person but I agree that it’s confusing

    Is it safe to inject vegetable oil into the bloodstream like this? Normally our digestive system breaks down the triglycerides into a form blood can safely carry. So I’m guessing complete triglycerides shouldn’t enter the bloodstream, right?

        Did you know that soybean oil is the first cause of deforestation in the Amazon? It’s not a story vegans would tell you though

          I didn’t. I thought cattle ranching was the number one cause, and then palm oil second.

            This is exactly what I read on two different papers. One of them being this

            Not a single mention of soybean oil

            Edit: soy is included but still not even close to cattle ranching and the small scale farming also includeds palm oil and sugarcane

              Even funnier, is that the economic driving force of the soy industry is soybean meal for animal feeds compared to soybean oil.

              Based on the productivities of soybean oil and soybean meal, revenues from soybean oil and soybean meal are ~23% and ~77% respectively. Though the oil expelling process is used to produce oil, the soybean meal is actually the driving force for the whole production system.

              According to https://www.mdpi.com/2077-0472/9/5/87

              It makes no sense to grow soybeans on land that was previously a rain forest. Soybeans require loose, well drained soil, basically the opposite of rain forest.

              Yeah, “papers”, right. More like “vegan propaganda” because PETA wants to keep making soy burgers for vegans without being held accountable
