Why be a vegan if you're going to go through the effort of making fake meat products?

[tuckgod]

I'm not even vegan and this has to be one of the dumbest questions I've ever heard someone ask.


If you find it odd that a vegan might enjoy imitation meat products, why make an imitation of literally any product then?

What's the point of making diet soda?

Nylon?

The Detroit Lions?

Starter pistols?

Seedless grapes?


This is just some attempt to clown someone's dietary choices that are different than yours.

Confuses me too



But those fake items are usually extremely high in both sodium AND estrogen

Yep and that's the trade-off shyt's just an emotional placebo, it's just there to make them feel better about their choice like they're not really missing out on anything. It's just comfort food.

It's crazy, every summer I grill and I have to look up options for my brother. Have you seen some of the ingredients and steps it takes just to make some vegan food? He ends up just getting vegetables and beyond/impossible burgers

People like to lie to themselves to feel better about what they're doing.

Same. My brother been a vegetarian/vegan since the early 00s. It used to be annoying asl cooking for him but ingredients have gotten much better. We also tell him to cook his own shyt sometimes sense it be extra af though

Some don’t hate meat, just the fact that something living has to die for their sustenance.

Say it again for the dummies in the back

They didn't go vegan because they hate the taste of meat , it's generally because of some animal related guilt or health mumbo-jumbo they bought into.

Fake meat products allow them to have their cake and eat it too. They can have something that vaguely tastes like the meat related stuff they like whilst patting themselves on the back about sticking to their lifestyle. Also makes it easier for them to try to recruit more people into the vegan lifestyle.

last time i tried vegan fried chicken it was basically rice/grains battered and fried into the appearance of a chicken nugget

ive had some of the vegan meats and they arent "bad tasting" at all but they arent satiating either

Do the fake bones come with fake marrow inside as well?


The FAUX Chicken bone (8 pack)

1. Are these bones edible?


Answer: These vegan bones are not edible they function just like an animal bone, they give structure to the faux meat. Just keep that in mind when you use faux bones for vegan diet that the bones are not to be chewed or ingested.

Not to be chewed.

Fake meat products is mostly not for vegans but for meat eaters to become vegan or vegetarian.

Being vegan seems so miserable.
Must be why they are so pressed to try to convert people.
They dont want to suffer alone.

She dipped it in egg.

How is that vegan?

hatred tends to blind logic.

bruh...I already clarified that she is not using a real egg. The brand is literally called "JUST EGG". It's plant-based. It's made out of mung beans. Feel how yall want about veganism but let's not spread misinformation.

 

[Jasmine20]

Because they miss real meat

that wasn;t really my reason for becoming a vegetarian, i just didn't like the conditions these animals were farmed in or hormones they were being given. I originally planned to buy free-range non gmo meat products and cook for myself but I procrastinated so long I just became a vegetarian going on 13 years now.

I stopped eating morningstar veggie patties like 3 months after I started. the beyond burger i tried within the last 2 years was decent tho.
