Beyond burgers are disgusting in a really unique way I've never seen any other vegetarian food do before. They look, taste, and feel a lot like raw beef, even when they're fully cooked. At best, you end up with that utterly disgusting undercooked beef experience - the kind that would make you worry that you're going to get food poisoning, if it were real meat. Before they're cooked, they seem very similar to raw meat, disgustingly so. It replicates all of the things I hate about meat. I struggle to see who these are for; meat eaters who really love raw or undercooked meat, but don't want to risk food poisoning?

No.
Meateaters have an alternative that tastes amazing. It's called meat.

If vegans cared 1/100th of a percent about converting people, they would try creating as nutritious and tasty non meat foods.

Nah. Fake burgers serve a single purpose. For vegans to try "baiting" meat eaters into eating chemical shit instead of meat. Because it makes them feel superior, when they can catfish you.

They don't see you as a human btw.

@LukeAlmighty I'm going to take the (cold) bait and say that meat substitutes are for people who like the texture but don't want the guilt. They're healthier than meat but aren't 'healthy' compared to whole foods.

Also, I see y'all as human. That's why you make the mistake of eating meat. :^)

Bruh...
No... just no.
I hate the "it's just chemistry" argument, when it comes to food, but the soy meat is one of the few foods, that fit that category perfectly.

@thatbrickster @Alex
Nah, you just killed the debate by thinking, that a 50 page PDF file that I cannot even download constitutes an argument.

It doesn't. It's a simple apeal to authority, except that I don't even know that authority.

You sent me a link to 50 page long "dude, trust me bruh"

@LukeAlmighty Your refusal to turn your objection into something meaningful makes you sound irrational. I at least made an effort to stand by what I said.

But continue believing in your anecdote, niggy.

@thatbrickster @Alex
Except, you didn't make a point, you sent a link to an article I cannot read, hoping, that even if I had the time to read it, and IQ to understand all the graphs, and time to go to a beer with researchers, and find out, if they are rational people, then still my 3 months later response would not be relevant.

@Alex
My sister was always a bit more liberal in some of her beliefes, and when I saw, the way she prepared potatos or garlic, it was out of this world.

But making a tasty food that does not include meat does not give you the "Ha, I know you didn't need meat, you just need this oil soup" moment.
