Now hold on there buddy. Americans have an insanely self destructive love of assholes.

    I hate sausage but I saw some Field Roast chipotle sausages on clearance and bought a pack. It was so good, I went back to buy the rest.

    Anyone ever make their own? Like from scratch. I think chickpeas were the "bulk" of it

    [Edit] ok apparently these are incredibly simple to make and there's like 500 similar recipes

    I admittedly eat too many fake meats but hot dogs are still a struggle. I like Field Roast on occasion but they’re simply too meaty for my taste, but the other brands that emulate the cheaper hot dogs aren’t great either.

    Long ago I had a Chihuahua and we were good friends. Occasionally while fixing food in the kitchen, I would toss part of a hot dog down to him and he'd wolf it down, naturally.

    I had bought some "Smart Dogs" to try them out and they were...yuck. They looked identical to real thing though, so I tossed an entire one down to him.

    In slow motion, you could see his greedy little face light up as the counterfeit dog soared in his direction. He caught it flawlessly like a classic Tom Brady floater landing squarely into his receiver's hands.

    Then, a pause. Then, simultaneously, his little mouth opened, his tail stopped wagging, and the "dog" fell to the floor. He gave the floor-dog a second sniff to make sure his mind wasn't playing tricks on him, then looked back up at me with treacherous zeal.

    Why would this be surprising at all? I’m vegan with two chihuahuas and of course they don’t want my fake processed meat. They’re craving meat.

    All of that is completely irrelevant to whether people should consume fake meat. Do you run everything you eat by your dog first? “Might as well give up on veganism because dogs don’t like fake meat.”

    It's more about the taste than the ingredients.

    Just as with animal-based products, there are good-tasting plant-based products and not. But the question that should be asked is: Does taste justify the exploitative abuse and slaughter of sentient individuals?

    You should care about the trillions of animals that are tortured and murdered for that. You should care about the environmental destruction.

    I'm not sure why you're making these baseless assumptions.

    The problem that meat eaters have with plant based meats is the taste, not that they're made out of plants.

    I'm not sure anyone on vegan circle jerk dot com cares what meat eaters think.

    I mean, by default they do or the instance wouldn't exist.

    baseless assumptions

    The assumption that a bunch of animals died because we’re more worried about taste? Is that the one you’re labeling “baseless”?

    Most folks who make this argument have never really tried plant-based alternatives.

    I’m not saying that if everyone tried plant-based alternatives, they’d prefer the taste to animal products, but the taste factor really isn’t such a big deal as people make it out to be.
