It isn’t about taste, it is about not being able to replace the nutritional value of the meat serving with the Vegan alternative. Vegan food is delicious, but it has issues getting everything you need into your body when replacing things found specifically in meats.

Isn’t Impossible burger meat virtually identical nutritionally as real meat? That’s why it’s not very good for you. Like, burgers aren’t healthy.

This has nothing at all to do with what I am saying.

My point is that articles pushing the flavour narrative are missing the point because it isn’t about taste. It is about the fact that being Vegan is expensive as it takes a lot of supplements outside of food consumption to replace what can only be found in meats that the human body requires to survive.

Junk food tastes great, but it isn’t good for you. Burgers aren’t inherently unhealthy, just like Vegan food isn’t automatically healthy.

Idk man, plenty of people survive just fine without eating meat. Multivitamins are incredibly cheap. I eat meat and I still take a multivitamin daily. It’s like $25 for a 6 month supply at Costco. Impossible burgers are about the same price as regular burgers there too. I can make an Impossible burger at home with all the fixings for less than the price of a Big Mac. Maybe you live in a place where these things are really expensive?
