Vegan here. Tried the beast burgers. Pretty gross. Field roast is way better.

Vegetarian alternatives to beef are always more expensive than the real deal. They will never be able to replace meat as long as they're a luxury item.

I'd say they're a little less then premium versions of the real thing.

Really? That's sad to hear. Have you tried any of the other products?

Frankly speaking I'd rather eat Eye of Round before going Vegan. Eye of Round I think is $3.99 a pound, I can also get beef cheek for even less.

the chicken stuff looks really interesting

i don't know about the beef

Yea....no thanks.

Cracks me up how all the "vegans" are trying to replicate meat products instead of just eating their fucking veggies, nuts, legumes, and fruits like a sane person would.

The beyond meat chicken is pretty good, needs a sauce though because they're pretty bland otherwise. Just like real chicken then I guess.

You're not one of those anti-vaxxer retards that is scared by long words are you?

That's a pretty stupid thing to find funny

You're not one of those vegan apologists trying to justify the use of processed ingredients in their fake "meat" products, are you?

If you need to pretend you're eating meat to be a vegan, then you shouldn't be a vegan.

>> No.7190731

I haven't tried that stuff, but anything outside of Morningstar or Boca is too expensive for me anyway. I'm not even a vegetarian, I just really like the flavor and texture of them. They go great with bacon, too.

Actually looks pretty appetising, and I can buy the idea that getting people to eat fast food analogues that they're used to is easier than getting them to start cooking actual vegetarian food. I mean, that stuff's great, but it tends to require actual skills beyond microwaving packets that most regular idiots don't have.

Seriously, they go great with your "natural" hickory smoke concentrate, methylcellulose, carrageenan, sorbitol, and L-cysteine hydrocholorides!

Processed vegan garbage is still garbage, anon. Don't try to justify it...

So it's basically a vegan version of child pornography. "I didn't touch a real child, so it's okay!" Fucking pathetic.
