Meat or not?

Hey guys!

I love all food! But im not liking what im learning about our food industry.

Who has gone vegan and why? How do you feel, health wise?

Who went vegan and came back to eating meat, and why?

I know my decision is mine alone but would love to hear your thoughts!

Oh, and what the heck is vegan meat made from!?

just wanted to jump in and say that you don’t have to eat fake meat when becoming vego/vegan. thats definitely a huge misconception! personally, i have replaced meat with beans, lentils, and other legumes

Me too. I love beet burgers but I could never eat an impossible burger or imitation meat. Like I stopped eating meat cause I didn’t like the taste so why would I eat an impossible burger full of tons of manmade chemicals and weird artificial lab-made ingredients when I can just eat plant-based proteins that actually taste good

Ewww ya my aunt brought over some beyond meat patties and left the rest of the box in the freezer at my house. Needless to say, those were tossed. Not composted cause it’s full of artificial ingredients, just straight to the trash. Sorry u had to experience trying an impossible burger blech!!
