If You’re Afraid of Vegan Meat, You’re Being Played

The irony of highlighting plant-based meat as ‘ultra-processed’ — and ignoring the real culprits

Not vegan. These “meat substitute” products and other things marketed as vegan tend to suck ass. I’m not afraid of them, they’re just not very useful or nutritious. Buy some vegetables, some legumes, some spices, and learn how to use them.

Impossible meat is pretty incredible IMO. I was able to convert my entire family, who were meat eaters their entire lives, off of beef thanks to how excellent impossible meat is in all of our favorite beef dishes.

I think it’s very useful to help wean people off of real meat, who may have many traditional family recipes that they may miss quite a lot, where veggies can’t quite replicate the taste.

I’ve also found Meati brand mushroom based steaks to be super good, and extremely close to a real steak.

And Jack & Annie’s makes an awesome jackfruit based sliced steak substitute that’s incredible for cheese steak sub rolls. None of those specific brands are particularly unhealthy either.
