@@rameshraghothama8324 Are you talking about things like Cordycep Militaris being grown from chicken eggs? As not only is that a novelty & isn't common to commercial practices- Most vegans probably don't think much of it at all. As most people including consumerist vegans are not well aware of how most food production actually works. Veganism is about the reasonable absentia from animal consumption & exploitation, if you do not have access to local Veganic farms, it is reasonable too assume your consumption habits are going to have a higher impact in that arena than what most Vegans would like. Most people have very limited choice in the supply chains that they have access to. My personal answer to this was to build infastructer & grow food. Outside of that, most choice edibles are wood loving species, such as lions mane, shiitake or Oystermushrooms and are not commonly grown on substrates that contain animal products at all. Most comerical Cordyceps Militaris are grown from rice and soybean hulls, not insects nor eggs. If you had a specific example, I could better articulate my answer for you. As for Myco-paleontology, it is not my field of study but I do have some knowledge & thoughts. currently the oldest terrestrial eukaryotic organism is fungal mycelium from the Neoproterozoic era 635 million years ago, from fossil evidence in China. Tho evidence for Marine fungi date back over a Billion years ago from fossil evidence in northwest Canada. As for figuring out the evolutionary pathway of terrestrial fungi, I think if you want a solid answer to that; you would have to adress the question of how Lichenized fungi evolve into their niches- as filamentous fungal networks evolved from ocean soils & not terrestrial ones. The first place I would look are at Crustose lichens & the formation of biocrust. As it is biocrust that are the first step in soil formation on land. It is soils and water that form the foundational habitats for the ecology of microbes. The microcosm of filamentous fungi, blue green algea, cyanobacteria & yeast that makes a Lichen provides habitat for microbial mats that would other wise be much more vulnerable to the UV from the sun. It is the cycle of decay that these biocrust form that allows nonvascular plants , bryophytes, to establish. So I suspect saying terrestrial fungi evolved to prey upon microbial mats is more than likely an over simplification for what are complex webs of relationships and likely are not hinged upon a singular niche or instance in time. You would need to answer the critical question, did the lichenization behavior form before or after or because of a response to terrestrial microbial colonization. this question is especially hard to answer when you consider the fact that lichenization has happened independently as a convergent evolution among various species multiple times within the kingdom Fungi. Then you have many who think that fungi arrived here through the process of Panspermia, as fungal spores and lichenized fungi can survive the vaccume of space. Some think fungal spore arrived with Bacteria & Archea from asteroid impacts. Fun idea, not alot of evidence to support it other than our planet itself is likely sheding fungal spores out into space & those spores can survive, as far as we can tell, indefinitely. Again my specialty isn't Myco-paleontology. As fun ( and barely represented ) a field that is. My primary fields of study are Ecology, Ethics, Permacultural design, Mycoremeditation & applied Mycology & Lichenology. I train fungi to break down waste contaminates in soils,water and air pollution. I also study fungi for use in ecolgical design for small scale agriculture. Mycology is more so a field of questions than answers, because it is so vast yet so underrepresented. Including nutritional studies.

That doesn't mean it won't secrete insulin anyway. My mother has diabetes and gets treatment from diabetic specialists. She is told that the evidence shows that eating too low on carbs (under 30-50?

I tend to buy it when it's cheap and then mix it 50/50 with beef mince, works fine for things like spaghetti bolognese or lasagne but not for home made burgers. Quorn sausages are ok and fake chicken pieces are ok for stir fries but you can tell the difference between real chicken & Quorn. Quorn burgers are just no, not a patch on proper ones.

Yikes I looked up their gluten-free fillets and they contain egg white. Not vegan.

Food allergies.

Don't tell Dr Berg about the blood sugar increase in chicken

did you know mushrooms are not vegetables?

Nobody needs such junk food.

Contains carrageenan. Eating the vegan schnitzels led to hours of rolling around in agony follows by shingles.

All cocktail weenies are bad.

Plant protein is not a panacea. Excess of any protein is not good. Keep your protein low no matter what kind.

Am I right? Quorn is not a vegan product. It has eggs in it?

There are a few vegan Quorn products, but most aren't.

what? no cliff hanger? tune in next time to hear how plant proteins can...

Meat even loses to processed plant meat.

Quorn products gave me a massive headache which I don't normally get. Stick to whole foods peeps.

He seems abit shifty to me.

Only makes sense when they're cheaper than actual animal meat.

It would be like 10 times cheaper if economies of scale weren't swayed in meats favor. Anything is cheap at that scale of production.

That's bullshit. Try to use your brain. It's better than meat; there's no reason why it must cost less.

Quorn is sooooo weird.

Gregor puts out a ton of great information but I’ll never understand his hate for protein. Yes this is true about insulin and BCAAs but it’s a nonissue for someone at a healthy body weight. Also BCAAs are the primary driver for muscle protein synthesis along with resistance training. Lean body mass is a good thing. Frailty is a very bad thing. Especially for the elderly. You can be vegan and still build muscle. But the low protein mantra is just as bad as the low carb mantra that the keto people spew.

Americans get more than DOUBLE the RDA of protein. Not necessary and in fact harmful.

He is not against protein, just against excess of it... between 0.8 and 1.6g per kg is enough... but high levels are for athletes which means they eat much more calories, so having 1.6g per kg would be at most 15-20% of cal intake (considering they eat at least 2500kcal which is not much), which puts them exactly where the recommended quantity is

Of course, sufficient protein intake is crucial for health, however, excess protein intake can lead to putrefaction..

@@BrunoSpellanzon 1.6 g/kg is a good benchmark for athletic adaptations but higher levels are required for plant based athletes. For example pea protein (which is a relatively good BCAA profile for a plant) has 2/3 as much leucine as whey protein so you would need to significantly increase your intake to match the anabolic effect.

Too bad all Quorn has eggs in it.

A lot of it does (most) but not all.
