What You Need
  • ½ small yellow onion
  • ½ red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 carton firm non-GMO organic tofu, drained
  • 2 Tablespoons Earth Balance vegan butter spread
  • 1 green onion, sliced fine
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 Tablespoon soy sauce or liquid aminos
  • 2 Tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • ½ tsp turmeric
  • 1 Roma tomato, chopped small
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • fresh ground black pepper and salt to taste
How to Do It
  1. Saute onion and pepper in vegan butter for about 1 minute (use a non-stick pan for best results).
  2. Break up tofu into large crumbles with your hands into a bowl and add to onion mixture, sauteing an additional 5 minutes until vegetables are tender. Stir often to mix flavors.
  3. Add remaiing ingredients, then reduce heat to medium and allow to cook 5-7 minutes more. Add more oil if needed (but using a non-stick pan can cut fat in half and reduce calories).
  4. Serve hot with hash browns, fruit, toast or grits.
Extras
To reproduce the smell of eggs, use Kala Namak (black salt) vs. regular tables salt. Black salt has a sulfury smell and really makes the tofu taste like scrambled eggs. You can find it at Indian (Asian) grocers and most health food stores.

and hence they suffer the associated disease in the same proportions:francis:

With the exception of 7th day adventists, the longest lived populations in the world do indeed consume animal products, but in much much smaller proportions. The Sardinians, Nicoyans and Okinawans all consume some portion of animal protein, meat/dairy/fat. The problems with modern western diet and chronic disease aren't simply something you can lay solely at the feet of animal consumption.

I've been able to cut out pretty much all meat and other animal products this year except for cheese, dairy and bacon. That trinity is my weakness. Finna spend the next three years on a completely plant based diet. I'm planning on going on a 30 day detox soon.
Any recommendations ? include supplements that I can take as well.

I think Western people eat TOO much meat. IF you are Black Meat is fine but traditionally Blacks of Western Africa ate FAR LESS meat than those in the present day Western World. Hell my great grandfather ate meat and he lived to about 130.

I want to know the distribution of age of death in those populations
just having the highest number centenarians does not mean you have the longest living population

Like I said, I agree with massively vegetable centric diets and eating lower on the food chain, meaning i would only consume animal products a couple times a month. But the simple fact is that no native population in the world survived or thrived off a 100% vegetable driven diet. There is a place for animal product in the human diet and culture. Traditional cultures all over the world found great nutrition in animal sources. Fat soluble vitamins in organ meats, amino acids in marrow and collagen, omega-3 and DHA in grass fed fat. What i have distaste for is the wasteful, cruel,flavorless and excessive way we consume and create animals.
