An online space for the vegans of Lemmy.

Rules and miscellaneous:

  1. We take for granted that if you engage in this community, you understand that veganism is about the animals. You either are vegan for the animals, or you are not (this is not to say that discussions about climate/environment/health are not allowed, of course)
  2. No omni/carnist apologists. This is not a place where to ask to be hand-holded into veganims. Omnis coddling/backpatting is not tolerated, nor are /r/DebateAVegan-like threads
  3. Use content warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content
  4. Circlejerking belongs to /c/vegancirclejerk
  5. All posts should abide by Lemmy's Code of Conduct

While I'm all for replicating the flavors of non-plant based foods, adding an addictive substance to a non-addictive food is problematic. If corporations are allowed to do this with vegan cheese, I'm sure it won't stop there.

Next thing you know they'll be allowing high fructose corn syrup and caffeine as food additives

I get your point, but casomorphins are capable of passing the blood-brain barrier and attaching to morphine receptors, like all other opiates. Glucose is not the same.
