    Horse shit.

    Look I’ve reduced my meat intake and have no issues with vegans. And I’m certainly not reading up on this. But their ain’t no fucking way a vegan burger beat a burger in a fair contest.

    I feel like this shit is counter productive. People hear shit like this and just toss it into the ‘liburl lie pile’ mentally.

      Has it ever occurred to you that some people genuinely don’t like the taste of meat and think plants taste better?

      Kindly go cope somewhere else. This clearly isn’t for you.

      “I’m too fragile to read the article but too triggered to keep my mouth shut.” Just fuck off.

      You’re the only one here reflexively tossing it in the “liberal lie pile,” and even proudly standing by your ignorance by refusing to engage with the source.

        Because anyone who has ever liked the taste of a hamburger knows it’s immediately bullshit.

        And I’m not spending time understanding how it’s bullshit.

          Coming from a carnivor upbringing (can’t call it differently), where both parents were hunters and we had the best meat you can possibly imagine both in terms of ethics and taste 7 days a week… I can tell you, the vegan burgers are absolutely impressive and I choose them now over meat, as they are on par taste wise and for a variety of other reasons (price etc).

          As far as I can tell, the report is based on the evaluation of five trained testers. So at the very least these five people, who aren’t even vegan since they had to test the beef patties, decided that they liked the vegan patties more than the beef patties.

          Five people is not a lot, sure, but it’s more convincing than your comment that it’s bullshit just because.

          And I’m not spending time understanding how it’s bullshit.

          Again, then why comment?

          Your taste is just this, your taste. People have other taste then you.
          On top of that, taste is only one aspect of this consumer test and yet still, the plant based patties have on average scored better in taste then the beef patties

      I get your disbelieve but you have to look at what they did. They tested convenience food, not self made quality products. They compared meat products to plant based counterfits. The good stuff is actually whole food that you can make yourself. You can’t compare a raw beef with a raw lentil patty since they taste completely different. But you can make an incredibly delicious lentil burger that is also very healthy and eco friendly. It all comes down to the recipe. As soon as you add seasoning, good meat doesn’t neccessarily win always for meat eaters.
