    Well you could still eat plant based meats from the likes of impossible and beyond. You might say that it’s not the same, but is that difference really worth supporting animal abuse? (and yes, you are supporting it by buying meat). It’s not even the difference between a burger and no burger, it’s between a burger and another burger that maybe tastes slightly different. I’ve never been able to understand that. Am I missing something?

      Granted it’s been a decade since i had an animal flesh burger, but those plant based burgers taste better than the animal flesh burgers. Just my 2c

        I went vegan around the time Beyond and Impossible burgers took off and after just about six months I’d ordered a Beyond burger but was given a regular one, and it was already pretty fucking gross to be eating dead animals even early on at that point.

          Absolutely. All i can think of when i go to the plant based section (which is inevitably in the animal flesh section… for some reason…) is all the dead animals. They had lives. They wanted to live. They probably had friends and families. Ugh. Why can’t we be a plant based world already :(

          Once the novelty of beyond burgers worse off, I couldn’t really stand the taste. They are nauseatingly sweet, and have a very distinct flavour. Same with their sausages, stakes, they all taste the same.

          I’ve since found better more neutral local brands that I like much more.
