I think the problem with most vegan dishes in the west is the lack of a cultural context. Unlike food conglomerates, cultures give an unbiased generational assessment of what it means to have flavor and health benefits e.g - vegan burger in america (processed as hell) < vegan dumplings (fresh leeks, vegetables, garlic). Also as a woman you do face low iron levels naturally and vegan diets affect how we menstruate.
