    I’m genuinely baffled at the idea that beyond meat can be seen as remotely as good as a beef burger. It is VERY different. Albeit an okay replacement in a lot of senses, it just can never be as good as a traditional beef burger. Generally I wish I could be vegetarian but beef burgers would be by far the worst part for me if I had to give up meat…

      Beyond burgers suck. Have you tried an impossible burger? Those are pretty fucking close

      IMO how things taste varies wildly from person to person. To me Beyond burger has a weird flavor that I dislike that never goes away.

      Impossible burgers are a much better meat replacement to my taste buds. They’re still not 100%, there’s always a bite or two at the start were they taste off, but after that they taste pretty much like a cheap hamburger.

        I eat meatless burgers at least once a week and I agree that beyond burgers have a lingering taste of cat food. Impossible burgers are far superior.

      While I agree that beef burgers are great and that beyond meat just isn’t the same, I think it’s also important to remember that the second best thing to going vegetarian is eating less meat.

        Yeah I agree. I do eat veggie burgers from time to time and enjoy them. I just take issue with the claim that these replacements are " just like meat". It’s not, and that’s ok
