>> They make all sorts of vegetarian and vegan options for hot dogs, burgers, chicken nuggets, ribs, ect. In fact, I had some vegan bratwursts yesterday. They tasted just like the real things, only it was much more tender.

Not really interested in “mock meats”. I’ll stick to the real thing, thanks anyway. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it — why eat fake ribs when I can have REAL ribs?

I do find it curious that vegans say humans are not naturally carnivorous, and then go out of their way to replicate the flavor and texture of meat.

Think of the cholesterol and fat.

Because we aren’t. Google the word “umami”. I’m a vegetarian for health reasons and also a bit for moral reasons too in that factory farming is a disrespect to the animal’s life.
