Are meatless burgers as good as real burgers?

I'd always take a meatless burger over a real one for the nutritional value if the taste was the same.

Please share if you have some experience.

They are alright. Not as good as the real thing. Fucking faggot soyboys will never admit it though.

I have no idea. Never eaten a real burger. I like veggie burgers, though.

They're different. Still taste good and have lesser environmental impact so there's that.

This, bean burgers are awesome.

Veggie burgers are terrible. These new meatless burgers have to be better and improved upon.

No, nothing can compare to the flavor and texture of a 100% all beef BIG MAC.

If I want a burger but I don't want meat, I'd take a spicy bean burger, falafel or some halloumi sooner than any fake meat.

Speaking as someone who eats meat but not very often (digestive issues), all of the fake-meat I've tried has ranged from completely bland, to an uncomfortable 'uncanny valley' of the food world. The more advanced ones with the fake meat juices and shit still taste a mile away from meat, but the texture and greasiness is getting there, which makes a sort of uncomfortable middle ground. It's like your brain recognizes you're eating 'meat' but your taste buds don't.

The fake meat shit isn't good enough to convince meat eaters, and I can't imagine why a true-blue vegan would want their burger to bleed. Fake burgers are a fad and the market for them is going to move on in a few years.

They're hyper-processed shit. I have a hard time believing they're any better environmentally than a dude with a hunk of beef and a hand-powered meat grinder.

There about 80% similar in my opinion, You can tell its not meat but it's not that big of a difference.
I don't eat them because of enviornmental reasons I sometimes crave them just like any other food.

it has a strong unpleasant aroma sort of like wet catfood, the texture is wrong, it tastes like slimjim filling

They taste fine. But the texture is really off putting. Lab grown meat when?

I tried the Impossible Whopper and it gave me horrific gas. Then later on I had the shits. I will never eat that thing again.

Pea protein isolate and Canola oil served in an ultra-processed chemical sludge?? Very nutritional I'm sure.

They are really hit or miss. Vegan sausage on the other hand literally tastes exactly like those cheap 1lb breakfast tubes of sausage because those are already 90% oats and shit anyway so if you like that sausage, you'll like the vegan ones. Doesn't even need meat, don't know why they bother with the meat version other than marketing because normies gotta have muh meat. I eat it occasionally as a not so healthy snack.

Yeah and what retard? How much waste and GHGs do you think a fucking bean burger in a lab makes?
