Vegan Seitan Stew, 4 minutes prep time (video)

I saw a post on Reddit's community on vegan fitness that talked about making seitan with a prep time of 90 minutes. I responded 90 minutes sounds insane.

(EDIT: see an image of the results at the bottom of the page) Here are a few posts I wrote, first my original response, then my responses to responses. I worked at finding a simple policy for myself and settled on: I avoid food where fiber has been removed. That cuts out sugar, white flour, corn syrup, oils, and basically all junk, forcing me to eat tons of vegetables, fruit, legumes, and nuts. I already didn't eat animal products. I haven't cut them to zero, but fiber-removed foods…
