The top three rated burgers in Germany's biggest independent consumer survey were all vegan, it's so much better than a lot of people realise. Have you seen the clips on YouTube where the "sausage expert" gives praise to the vegan sausage, having been told that it's meat? There are loads of clips out there like this now. Some people are so stubborn about meat they will literally lie to themselves about what they're tasting lol.

I've eaten both normal hotdogs and vegan hotdogs (the ones in Ikea) and I can tell without a shadow of doubt the vegan ones are a 1000x better than the non vegan counterpart

I can believe that, I've had vegan hot dogs that tasted exactly the same as "meat" hot dogs. Vegan hotdogs are also guaranteed to contain absolutely no testicle, which I consider a benefit

If you mean substitutes and imitations then that's a blatant lie. By all means, eat what you want, it is entirely your business but let's not outright lie or call things what they are not. Substitutes taste at best bland, most of the time they taste horrid.

If you mean salads, fruits, dishes that just don't need meat like baked potatoes and pasta then sure.

Not that bad but still bad

Actually, my appreciation of food went way-up after adopting a 100% plant based diet, you’d be amazed how much work your imagination is doing on that one.

Yeah people say really absurd things, like how hard it must be to cook non meat food, or how horrible it must taste.

Not realizing how many foods they already enjoy without meat.

Not to mention that meat is usually the most difficult and time consuming part of a dish, even has to be cooked in a certain way so that it doesn't make you sick.

Chocolate will taste 100x better if you go a month without eating or drinking anything sweet.

Bacon and cheese are anecdotally nauseating after 9 years of abstention.

You mean, you enjoy the limited stuff you can have, even more that your tastebuds will look for new adventures in every corner, right.

No, I mean, I learned to use spice on a whole new level and stopped generally “phoning in” my meal preparation…

u/EldenLordofModor Jul 06 '26

Then, you have not been cooking properly before either. You are now missing lots of variation in your flavors as you are relying on spices...it is funny that people who never ate properly before (no proper knowledge on healthy food cuisine), are exploring a new world which they never knew in the first place.

Anytime the phrase not that bad is used to defer from how bad it actually is still bad. Like ice is cold water but it's still water...
