    I had to buy beans at Walmart the other day… I don’t normally get them there. I was looking for white beans. They had this brand in both fhe 15soup pack, and they also had a white bean pack. I saw in the white bean pack, they add “ham flavoring”. I was so grossed out, what is ham flavoring in dried beans? I had to buy the great calue brand. No ham flavoring added.

      It is probably just a packet of seasoning. The 15 bean version comes with a seasoning packet inside. They don’t add it to the beans.

        Right and this is fine. But adding “ham flavorings” to a bag of dried beans weirded me out.

        How the fuck does one obtain the ham essence, and then apply it to dried beans?

          Most serious vegans understand something about the differential in agency that comes with even relative poverty. The books that sort of founded the movement take this into account.

          And there is a LOT of relative poverty in places you don’t normally expect, especially with housing costs as they are around most of the Capitalist world.

            Lol wut. Beans are super cheap. Vegan food is literally cheaper then products from the animal industry that is causing climate catastrophe

              Easy to say when you have choices in where to shop. Lack of transportation and odd work schedules destroy that Real Quick. As does rural life, or life in an urban food desert.

              There is more to poverty than lack of money - there is also frequently a lack of time away from work for serious food preparation. And idk if you’ve looked at vegan processed food lately but uh… The opposite holds true about their price.

              No one can survive on crock pot beans alone.

              Once again, 100 companies are responsible for how much of the emissions? Your consumer choices are not a Revolution that will save the world. Consumer choice is a poor substitute for activism that has been sold to you by your Masters.

              At the super market! Not everyone has access to world wide goods shipped in on cargo ships burning fucking bunker fuel in a gigantic two stroke(inefficient and dirtier burning than 4 stroke) by the gallons per mile.

              Unless you are growing your own, I would argue you are contributing to the climate crisis more than my ham hocks.

                Beans are the most climate efficient source of protein. They are nitrogen fixers. You can buy them anywhere you can buy food. No supermarket needed.

                From small town arctic circle to small towns near Antarctica. From Asia to Africa. Everywhere. You will find beans.
