Non-human beings are our comrades :vegan-liberation-rad: :vegan-v:

Remember the rules; in particular, this comm is for vegans only. Feel free to discuss anything from beans :bean: to your undying and eternal hatred for carnists. :frog-no-pretext:

:vegan-edge: Veganism isn't a diet, it's about animal liberation.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose

    I’ve never had an Impossible burger before cuz I feel like it would feel like I’d be eating meat

    It sort of tastes like meat, but it tastes like the kind of shitty fast food burger meat that, itself, doesn't really taste like meat. It's perfectly acceptable, not terrible or anything. Still prefer a good bean burger though.

    I’ve also heard that it “bleeds” like real meat

    This is true, it's really gross and pink and weird.

    and smells like it too when cooking

    This part is (I think kind of famously) not true though. It smells really weird, some omnis compared it to dog food, and I can't really un-smell that. It's got this weird hint of dried dog food smell, like when somebody opens a bag of the stuff, not especially close to you but close enough that you know what it is.

    Overall, a solid 4/10. Acceptable slop. Will provide calories, probably not much else.
