Doesn’t taste nearly as good, doesn’t satiate the pallette. And yes I’ve tried all the impossibles and faux stuff multiple times because I like to try new things.
That said, I’m completely for alternative routes to meat, and will give them every opportunity as they mature to break my bad habit. Plant based meat just isn’t an adequate nicotine patch for such things, at least not yet.
it really snaps into view when you think about it as an addiction; which also just so happens to be fueling and unfathomably cruel bundle of industries that is destroying the planet - so the stakes are pretty high here.
I would encourage people to try veganuary this year, it’s growing massively and there’s tons of support.
I hear you. I don’t eat meat, and I haven’t for several years. I still find it extremely tempting sometimes to eat some chicken wings.
The only reason I don’t is because whenever I actually think, “maybe I should just have some,” I get overwhelmed with flashes in my mind visualizing the deaths of the chickens and then I just… can’t.
But if those flashes weren’t there I definitely would’ve caved by now.
Shit rolls down hill and humans make other humans suffer every day guilt free, pat themselves on the back for their cruelty, and sleep like babies. They’re called capitalists.
Lets not pretend our species isn’t made up almost entirely of proud monsters and wannabe monsters.
We should all be destroyed and if I had that button I’d have pressed it yesterday. We are a destructive evolutionary error. A Macro-cancer of Earth akin to the trees of the carboniferous period that also caused a mass extinction from within, until Earth evolved a mechanism to handle that error.
And if by some miracle we don’t destroy ourselves as we try very hard to do, the Earth will find a way to deal with us as well.

I mean couldn’t you argue that anything that gives enjoyment be considered an addiction then. I mean thats sort of the function of seratonin.
and that’s totally fine when it doesn’t inherently victimize someone else.

that sounds like ptsd.
Understandable, nothing tastes quite as fine as animal suffering.
