    I really don’t get it. If meat is so bad, why would vegetarians want stuff that looked and tried to taste like meat?

    Humans evolved to eat meat, but eating meat daily at the scale of 8 billion humans is destroying ecosystems and one of the worst contributors to carbon emissions.

    Humans evolved to be smart, and have created more sustainable alternatives. This isn’t a black or white issue, you can use meat alternatives just sometimes, rather than all the time, and still make a difference

    Side note, I love meat, and I highly recommend you try an Impossible burger. Cook it on a cast iron skillet exactly as the directions say, and I think you’ll be surprised how much better it is than other options

        Then this product isn’t for you. It’s for the rest who are more resistant and don’t share your views.

        Can you tell me your preferred brand of cola, or laundry detergent, or car, or laptop, or fucking whatever so I can copypasta your message back at you.
