MODERATORS
Because anyone who has ever liked the taste of a hamburger knows it's immediately bullshit.
And I'm not spending time understanding how it's bullshit.
Coming from a carnivor upbringing (can't call it differently), where both parents were hunters and we had the best meat you can possibly imagine both in terms of ethics and taste 7 days a week... I can tell you, the vegan burgers are absolutely impressive and I choose them now over meat, as they are on par taste wise and for a variety of other reasons (price etc).
The question was, "Why did you comment?" not, "Generally tell us about your damage."
As far as I can tell, the report is based on the evaluation of five trained testers. So at the very least these five people, who aren't even vegan since they had to test the beef patties, decided that they liked the vegan patties more than the beef patties.
Five people is not a lot, sure, but it's more convincing than your comment that it's bullshit just because.
Again, then why comment?
Your taste is just this, your taste. People have other taste then you.
On top of that, taste is only one aspect of this consumer test and yet still, the plant based patties have on average scored better in taste then the beef patties
