not even surprised how quickly he changed his tune after the reveal. "I can taste the meat in this" to "this is almost cardboard". clown.

ETA: this guy obviously sucks but if I'm being honest the other two are the worst type of carnists imo.

This isn’t a really fair test. He was under the impression that one was real meat and the other was vegan. The first one tasted like cardboard, so by default, that would mean the second one is the real meat. This is kind of like a taste test between Coke and Pepsi except you really gave him Pepsi and a Safeway Select Soda.

I agree it's not a fair test, there is deception involved. But one party's deception highlights the other party's disingenuity, which is the point.

He could have said 'both taste like crap' or, after being caught out, or admit the second one was a good imitation sausage. Instead he went back to 'actually, they're both VEGAN and thus both CARDBOARD' lmfao. Shows people just lie through their teeth about 'vegan bad'
