Crap has so much sodium and nitrates in it. Way unhealthy.

Like every ‘alternative’, it’s worse than the real thing. Otherwise it would be the real thing.

I was also curious about the efforts of the vegan crowd to get fake meat to taste like real meat. If meat is so bad, why would you want to get your substitute product to taste just like it?

Seems like it's easier to just eat real meat in the first place.

I've told this story before but I hosted a large family barbecue back in the 1990s. Naturally one of the family members proclaimed herself to be a hard-core vegan. So in order to accommodate, I went to the special store to get the special "vegan" meats and tofu, which she only ended up nibbling at.

After a while, my gas grill ran out of propane so I went to my shed to get another cylinder. Inside the shed was my vegan relative scarfing down a couple of hot dogs with tell-tale mustard on her lips. She was quite obviously embarrassed to be caught red-handed.

But I was polite about it. I never brought it up to her and never mentioned it to the rest of her family. Point of the story that a lot of this vegan crap is just virtue-signalling.

Reminds me of the song "Junk Food Junkie" by Larry Groce.
