The saturation slider pairs great with every meal!

[–] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 33 points 6 days ago (5 children)

So you say, yet there is more room to increase it

Image edited to increase saturation

I partake in the CHROMATIC BOWL

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

Taste the rainbow!

[–] FoxyFerengi@startrek.website 5 points 5 days ago

That's such a great name for an acai or yogurt bowl restaurant

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 9 points 5 days ago

Much healthier!

[–] sauerkrautsaul@lemmus.org 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

can you actually crank it up a tiny bit more please

[–] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 15 points 5 days ago (2 children)

It's now just a bit more. Just a little bit really

@sauerkrautsaul@lemmus.org

Remember u/morejpeg_auto from The Other Place? Someone could probably make a "highersat_auto" bot to do this...

[–] sauerkrautsaul@lemmus.org 2 points 5 days ago

sent it to national geographic this second

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Part of this whitebalanced breakfast!

[–] LuigiMaoFrance@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

OP photo appears to show realistic colors tbf. Red cabbage, carrots and soybeans are naturally vibrant foods. Animal foods are just generally pale and greyish in comparison, as they are pieces of decomposing cadaver.

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Its subtle. While they're close to real, I don't think they're truly making things up, the colors are definitely enhanced. You're absolutely right that they choose vibrant foods, but here I've corrected by colormatching to the foods in my own fridge (under a full-spectrum light) to illustrate what's going on.

They're using very cool lighting which is why the carrot looks a little undersaturared (I also suspect they were using an older carrot here, having spent way too long zoomed in on this image) but I matched on the cabbage and lima beans.

It's not bad per-se, but it's an incredibly common thing to see with food photography and especially with raw food like this. With op, who is an egregiously terrible person posting nothing but this kind of enhanced photo, I felt it was worth calling out.

Stop feeding troll accounts. Check their history.

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 8 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

That bevage looks suspiciously non-vegan.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

Shit, thanks I didn't notice it was them

[–] mathemachristian@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)
[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Do you have one of those boot scraper things people put near their front doors? Very useful.

[–] mathemachristian@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)
[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

How about a Flowbee™? Got one of them?

I have no idea what these zingers are supposed to mean

[–] falseWhite@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Vegetables?!!

Never would have guessed.

Looks good btw

[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I usually eat things without the colour saturation turned way up.

[–] i_dont_want_to@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

There is so much great vegan food!

[–] pilferjinx@piefed.social 5 points 5 days ago

Hell ya. You can unlock so much satisfying taste if you learn to cook rather than cutting up some vegetables too!

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Vegans just eat lettuce, right? Lettuce for every meal? /s

[–] blinfabian@feddit.nl 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

full list of all vegan products (updated 2025):

  • lettuce
  • soy
  • water

[–] SparroHawc@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 days ago

Nah, too many dust mites in dust

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

This has some real "How do you do, fellow vegans?" energy. Raw lima beans? Really??

[–] swelter_spark@reddthat.com 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)
[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Huh, you're probably right! They look awfully lima-bean-y to me (so flat), but it'd make way more sense for them to be edamame so that's probably what they are. Unseasoned edamame though, still pretty blech.

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 3 points 5 days ago

I have a standard base. Beans. Then I can add seaweed salad or potatoes or tofu or rice or asparagus, or any number of anything else that has not been smeared on dead animal. Mushrooms are a big deal for me. I also have fake meats from time to time. But about fake meats...people don't fake other bad things...we have trampolines not fake falling. Nobody would fake smashing your face on the floor after a bad fall. So why call them fake meats? I rather start calling them like the drug industry calls drugs....Lobasta! Pizzasata! Musherk? "I'm cooking a mean musherk tonight..."

I love pistachios and peanuts. Soy milk and oat milk are great no matter what the government says we can't call them this week.

Apples, peaches and banana are fine fruits. In Washington state we don't much of any citrus. Blue berries and black berries are great, as well as grapes.

Sometimes I have a bunch of things to mix and such. Sometimes its just beans.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I'd be down for that minus the mushrooms.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I think it looks dope, but lacking sawce

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Yeah, not vegan so I don't know what a good vegan sauce would be. Is Hoisin Sauce vegan?

[–] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 6 points 6 days ago

Hoisin sauce is typically vegan as is soy sauce and teriyaki among many others

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

I too am not vegan, but I think you can get vegan hoosin, or in any case it may mostly be vegan now days!

[–] Nomad@infosec.pub 3 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I have recently gone mostly vegan due to medical issues and finding things to eat that are to my taste is not the issue. But nobody tells you the ungodly amounts you need to eat to have enough energy. Like... The time you need just to stuff all of that down your throat. And I'm like 2m and 75kg, it's not like I'ma fat by any measure.

[–] mathemachristian@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Not enough protein? I have never had this issue tbh, if I think it might not be enough to sate me I throw a can of chickpeas in there and that'll do me fine

[–] Nomad@infosec.pub 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I find that increasing protein increases satiety, but not available energy.

I mean calories work the same, so if you eat enough carbs you should have enough energy. Are you supplementing B12? Or eat a lot of peanuts or fermented stuff?

[–] moonluna@lemmy.world -2 points 5 days ago

Find better foods? Potatoes or foods with more carbs
