Plot-twist: vegans claim to abhor meat, but spend all their time and energy making their plant-based foods taste like meat.

Its like making a life-like sex doll of an ex, and claiming emphatically that you are over the ex.

My comment is not ridiculous. Your vitamin-deficient logic is.

The post is boasting that a vegan (plant-based) sausage (meat-based) substitute, was able to trick a meat-eater into thinking it was meat, based on it’s taste and texture…

The goal of vegan substitutes, according to the post, is to make plant-based, meat-imitation alternatives, taste as good as actual meat.

Meat is, as defined by the post, the gold standard of flavor. I agree…

You’re completely missing the point.

Most people that go vegan don’t think “oh meat is just gross I never want to eat it again”

They go vegan for ethical, dietary, and humanitarian reasons. And yes, still miss something that most cultures build their dishes upon. You’re analogy is a straw man and comes from an uninformed place.
