      These are the natural colors. But if you mean you literally eat dull food. You’re not rare. Americans for isntance, if you look at their meals its usually 2 colors white and tan (different shades)

    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.

    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.

      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.

        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.

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