Veganfag here. They're pretty good, I just wish they had a longer shelf life of more than 10 days.

I work in a health food/all organic grocery store and we sell these but whenever we get them in they always sell out in either a day or two if we're lucky. Customers are always asking when we're getting them because 99% of the time the freezer where we keep them is empty because the company's factory can't keep up with demand. When we do get them, people buy lile 5 or more at a time.

I always wonder why vegan food does its hardest to replace omnivore foods with substitutes. Meat subs, cheese subs, egg subs. Just create your own things and stop calling it stuff like "Nu-egg" "Beyond Meat" "Dog shit" and other crap like that. You want to eat vegan, eat vegan and continue your moral superiority complexes, but stop trying to cover up your insecurities of desiring a burger by making a faux-burger.

Just because I'm vegan doesn't mean I don't think meat is fucking delicious. But for me the killing isn't worth it. The vegan substitutes are for people who like meat taste/texture but don't like modern farming practices.

I don't think they're very healthy though so I only eat them on rare occasions, I stick to unprocessed food for the most part.

[Anonymous No.10946474]

I'm not a vegan or a vegit but I do try to limit my meat intake. The meat-for-every-meal meme is not good dude, we prob shouldn't even be eating it more than every other day.

But I would generally prefer to go with a more traditional protein like beans over faux meat.

But in some ways I do like the idea of vegetable based faux meats. I just can't entirely swallow the dubious effects on testosterone and the long string of question marks as to what kind of laboratory food processing would go into making this sort of thing

I hear these are about as close as you can get to a full on substitute. I don't think they contain soy even tho everybody wants to make the meme. I'd never spend my money on them, but I'd certainly accept one if given to me.

They don't. They look vaguely like meat, but they taste nothing like meat. I've never understood the point of them myself. Why be vegan and then constantly look for meat substitutes? Why not just eat vegan food.

Jackfruit is a great meat substitute in terms of flavor. I have no idea what the macro-nutrient breakdown is though.

>>10945942
My personal anecdote as someone who recently transitioned is that I miss the taste of meat. If we can accurately simulate the taste/nutrients of meat or synthesize meat without mistreating animals, and maybe even surpass the flavor of natural meat through substitutes using science, doesn't everyone win?

I tried one of these today. Off all the imitation meats I've tried this one by far tastes the most like what it's supposed to be. That said it still doesn't taste much like the real thing. I still stand by my opinion that if you're vegan or vegetarian you shouldn't bother with things that imitate meat. There are far better things you can make.

The fact that we are in a culture that thinks meat is bad is the full retard mode situation. A lot of this is a craze, a trend for now. Meat is good for you. When you eat fake ass shit, you're missing out on shit you need. All the vitamins. Everything in meat. I'll cont eating my steak while you keep asking "why does everything I eat taste like shit?"

Why does it matter? you're not taking care of them, you're not raising them, there's a difference in killing for sport, killing for food and keeping an animal for a pet. We aren't in korea where breed a specific dog to eat. OR china for cat.

I didn't say that, I'm saying if you're going to sub for meat don't call it meat, don't say it is meat.

Now on the other hand, if you have some allergy to say a meat that's understandable.

Most people aren't raised vegan and have attachments to meat containing foodstuffs like burgers, providing an alternative that's at least somewhat similar to meat in flavor and texture makes it easier. But honestly, why do you care so much? Are you just that assblasted that other people who share values other than your own are enjoying something? I'm not even vegan and never plan to go vegan, but I don't get butt bothered because things that I don't need to buy exist.

It's not that, it's the fact that people don't shut the fuck up about eating fake meat. Eating food that basically the equivalent of eating sand.

It's made from plant matter so it's actually somewhat nutritious, also 20g of protein per patty, that's pretty good. It's mostly trolls on /ck/, this is like the one legitimate vegan thread I've seen, which isn't even vegan, OP just wanted to know if the burgers were good.

Ethically made or not, that's not the problem. I'm saying, if you like the way it tastes, whatever, just don't call it what it's not. Every burger I have seen or eaten is made of meat. If you want to call it a patty, fine, do so.
>we can live better lives
Not really, even with plants you only get so much nutritional value out of it while meat provides vitamins and minerals that you can't get from other sources unless you specifically take a pill that does it which at some point you're going to stop because most people I know that take a vitamin supplement completely forget over time.

Okay, calling it a burger. It's just a particular variation of one. But calling it meat, thats where I agree with you. Because it's simply not meat.

>So if we started eating uranium you're telling me that over time I would be fine?
No. But it's possible that some people are born mutated freaks that can eat uranium, and somehow this let's them survive when other food is scarce. They die earlier and have health problems if they eat it, but at least they don't starve to death, and have time to pass on their mutant genes.

That's the logic behind how meat can be unhealthy even though we survived on it. Personally I don't really buy that meat is that unhealthy though as some vegans claim.

What I do understand is that if an animal is contaminated with a pesticide then sure, that makes sense. If humans have been eating animals for centuries why would it be bad all of a sudden? Their ethics of saying "don't kill!" shit, 1/2 these freaks are bible thumpers and even in the bible it states "all animals on this earth are for humans to consume" somethnig along those lings.

It's not bad all of a sudden, it was always bad. People had bigger problems though, and lifespans were too short for anything like heart disease to be a problem.
It also might be the quantity of meat people eat these days compared to past centuries. Most peasants ate stuff like potatoes and grains and veggies, with a little bit of meat, not large quantities of meat at every meal.

Just look at the species closest to us like orangutans and gorillas. They eat very little meat, mostly plants and some insects. The way I see it, that's where we both came from, eating mostly plants. Then some smart monkeys figured out they could eat bigger things than insects.

I'll give you that point. If you're conditioned to eat something then you will likely prefer that thing than another.

I don't understand why people would miss the taste of meat. It just tastes absolutely disgusting. I've eaten meat all my life not because I wanted to, but because it was a cultural norm. Everybody ate meat, so why not. But after I started cooking my own food, I always found that the taste of meat was terrible compared to pringles, mi goreng, fruit, and vegetables.
