It’s becoming easier and easier to adopt a plant-based diet. Along with more ways to make fruits and vegetables delicious, there’s no shortage of meatless fish, chicken nuggets, beloved fast food burgers, even whole restaurant concepts dedicated to plant-based eats. While the introduction of some of these items leaves us scratching our heads, wondering if the arguments for sustainable meatless eating are even possible under our broken food system, the good news is that such developments continue to normalize vegetarian and vegan lifestyles.
So, what’s stopping people from ditching meat for good? Talker reports that taste may be the number-one factor. In a poll of 2,000 Americans (commissioned by vegan cheese brand Violife), 17% of respondents said they had tried a plant-based diet but couldn’t keep it up, citing lack of flavor and not enough options as the top deterrents. Some also pointed to social and familial pressures, saying it was much harder to maintain a vegan or vegetarian diet when those around them were sticking to meat and cheese. Peer pressure truly never goes away.
Still, there seems to be a widespread interest in trying to incorporate at least some vegan and vegetarian practices into daily life. Of those surveyed, half said they were curious about trying out a plant-based diet, with 75% saying they would rather pick and choose some plant-based options rather than going “all in” on the lifestyle. On average, folks who tried out veganism and vegetarianism fully stuck to it for three months.
Health seems to be the top motivating factor for switching up eating habits (even though the survey also shows that 63% of people eat whatever they want and don’t give a hoot about health factors—very relatable).

What is stopping me? Because I like meat, will not stop eating meat, and don’t agree with the vapidness and lack of reasoning attempting to stop people from eating meat.
I’ll stick with meat thanks. Nothing lab grown either. Humanity is going to destroy itself.
Meat, it's what's for dinner.
Meat, it's what's for dinner.
Yet another IQ test.
They’re on a roll today.
the flavor is in the fat
Fake meat is not any healthier than real meat and in many cases not AS healthy.
A little fact that most don’t know and the propaganda media won’t admit.
Impossible burger meat truthfully isnt bad at all. It has an inherent savory taste to it. Not meat but not bad.
Who in their right mind would want to eat a bunch of chemicals mixed with soybeans to mimic the flavor and texture of meat? Wonder how many children thanks to their vapid, woke parents will never reach their genetic potential in height, weight and intelligence thanks to this nonsense.
Also, God didn’t give me canine teeth just so I could eat tofu.
What’s stopping our family?
A massive dose of phyto-estrogens from soy.
Soy will NEVER EVER be “meat.”
Ask Congress, Parliament, the UN.
Their chi chi dining rooms all still have meat on the menu.
Go figure.
I have two words for Deep States: YOU FIRST.
“Have you ever seen a healthy-looking vegetarian? They look like shit! Theyre all gaunt and yellow. After a while, their bodies become intolerant of other things. Ill give you an example: I was out to lunch with a comedian friend of mine, and later in the day he said, and I quote: I feel nauseous and I have a headache. That soup I had must have had beef broth in it. Your systems kickin back broth? Youre a manly man, arent you?”

Why would I?
Speaking of fat, that Impossible Burger stuff has more saturated fat than 90% lean ground beef. This is just like the great margarine-is-healthier-than-butter hoax of the 20th century.
My fear that a man bun will grow out the back of my head mostly.

Because I like meat the way God made it.
Irony is touting veggie based ersatz meat to promote a meatless diet.
