I imagine most vegans are just ordinary people. And hell, good on them for making the environmentally friendly choice. I've been excited that my local stores are starting to carry plant-based alternatives that aren't expensive as hell. Fuck are the weirdos loud, though.

Impossible burgers are better than beef burgers and I’m fully prepared to die on this hill.

But I still eat meat, I just like that there’s options

I wouldn't mind switching to a complete vegetarian diet if they can get deep-fried chicken substitutes right.

I've made beyond smash burgers that are terrible for you, but sooo tasty.

KFC has a very good breaded fake chicken burger

I really really like Quorn (or however it's spelled) as a chicken substitute. The flavor has to be added artificially but I think the texture is pretty satisfying and reminds me of chicken.

There was a recent blind taste test for chicken nuggets (not chicken strips/tenders) and all the plant based nuggets, even the cheap ones, beat out the actual chicken ones.

Now, chicken strips, I agree with you, sadly.

Not better...but 95% there. I will order it anytime I can if it's reasonable price.

Some of it can be really tasty! Cooking vegetarian all the time isn't as hard as it used to be. Gotta keep that cholesterol down 🤪
