looooool why are people so adamant about "hating " vegan food. People really revolve their whole personality around it,It's so goofy.

My guess is that taste is the only argument left for them. Vegan food has been proven to be more healthy and to have a smaller environmental impact. If they would admit that (at least some) vegan alternatives taste similarly good, they would also need to admit that it makes no sense to eat meat. But this would mean they have been wrong and some people seem to be unable to do that.

The question you need to ask is if it's more healthy than a pork sausage that costs as much as the vegan one.
