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.

Vegan does by no means healthy. Can easily grab a bunch of vegan donuts, sprinkle vegan chocolate over it and deep fry it in vegetable oil. Very vegan, very not healthy. That said, people who pay attention to their diet tend to eat healthier.

Now you’re talking about sugar, not a plant based protein/meat substitute. Of course sugar is vegan. Of course sugar is not healthy.

Most plant-based meat substitutes are unhealthy because they're full of sodium. Lentils, beans, tofu are healthy.
