[@InUnderstandingMe]

A positive vegan video with no bad feedback or jokes 😱😱😱 Buzzfeed you on crack?!

[@user-ve4lx8be4o]

That Is My Prerogative ikr!!!

[@jayyyzeee6409]

Same here! So refreshing!!

[@kiahdale3858]

i can't believe it

[@InUnderstandingMe]

**Future voice** Sensational!!!

[@mstrdbear]

That Is My Prerogative A vegan walks into a bar and looks at the bartender and says "I'm vegan"

[@houndlifevlogs1055]

I think at the end of the day it's all about seasoning and texture to make food taste good.😋

[@cafezo87934]

when you're borderline starving to death, you'll eat anything. seasoning or no seasoning.

[@Julian-bk6on]

Ana Carolina ok? What does that have to do with her comment? Lols

[@TheTastyVegan]

Exactly right, and thankfully texture is easy to replicate and seasonings are already vegan most of the time. Check out our Vegan Sweet and Sour Pork recipe if you wanna see it in action!😁

[@0pticG4mer]

if poo had a good texture and you seasoned it, it would taste good?

[@DmsStudios]

Unless we’re talking about sweet potatoes 😏

[@indiand6460]

Finally: a buzzfeed video that it actually positive about veganism! Edit: what I've never got so many likes on a comment!?

[@lilianangeline8772]

im a happy gal

[@indiand6460]

Lilian Angeline ikr! Same! :D

[@kendriestock3600]

Agreed! I was hesitant to watch this because of the negativeness about veganism but I was pleasantly surprised :)

[@sailorprincesscute]

I don't think their videos are negative, only the comment section is...

[@user-ve4lx8be4o]

India ND ikr they always hating on lovers

[@Sha-Ne-Ru]

if restaurants like this were more common and readily available, im pretty sure half the world, if not more, would have gone at least vegan by now.

[@SangosEvilTwin]

There are plenty of restaurants like this in my city. Not even half of the city is vegan. Making it available is great for those who are, but assuming that everyone wants to be vegan but doesn't for convenience is lying to yourself.

[@irvancrocs1753]

funny enough there are many places like this in my city, but guess what some of them went bankruptcy, because there are only plenty people look for it lol..

[@dusa-]

If grocery stores sold the 'meat' products that taste just like meat and were at competitive prices in comparison to meat, I'd probably go for the vegan stuff instead just because I know it's better for the environment but you know, that'd be a perfect world, lol. Most vegan alternatives cost a ton of money, are harder to find, and half the time don't compare to the real thing.

[@rachkate76]

Nova Nocturne Best comment ever.

[@kiarasaunders6721]

No. Not half. Some people like the taste of meat and the tenderness. So it's about less than half of the world.

[@Cassieschumaker]

This made my heart so happy. Thank you for promoting veganism in the right light! It's never been easier to be vegan and it just gets better every day!

[@Cassieschumaker]

Andrew C I'm an older female. And no that's not true at all.

[@GabrieleMBest00]

Andrew C In 16 and not a hipster, the people converting to veganism are ones who have morals and a heart. Besides a majority of vegans are actually over 50...Please learn facts instead of saying bs, we hear enough of it as it is.

[@Cassieschumaker]

hannah kim that's amazing!!

[@eleonoramustafaeva1303]

They forgot this kind of delicious food either isn't sold in most towns or is at exorbitant prices. Usual vegans have to make do with no artificial meat

[@aleynadunn3557]

That's why they are trying to get more people to go vegan. If there's a higher demand for these gourmet vegan restaurants/foods, then more will be created.

[@privacyplease2752]

Wow is buzzfeed reading my mind literally just looked up vegan restaurants

[@SUPERBOWLXLVIICHAMPS]

You can't afford it

[@privacyplease2752]

You don't know what I can afford

[@hillerychan9483]

I love your profile photo😂

[@reedgraves4909]

SUPERBOWLXLVIICHAMPS you obviously couldn't afford an education or else you'd know better than to be rude to those you don't know.

[@allisonsulouff6966]

How the hell is this "gourmet"? They used Gardein in almost every meal! You can find that in the frozen section of every grocery store ever.

[@dubiousenthusiast]

Allison Sulouff I totally agree. Not saying it wouldn't taste good, but "gourmet"?? I make stuff like this at home.

[@NKraven88]

im sure the chef could do gourmet, but they want people to be able to relate to the foods so they used normal everyday foods. so i think the title is misleading as hell. also i think the price may be to the gourmet level. (that kind of veg meat patty doesnt come cheap)

[@ericawest1435]

What was that thing that looked like an egg yolk?? That was crazy

[@CarlosGutierrez-fy4wk]

Erica West that's what I was thinking

[@whateven1797]

Erica West if you haven't seen those edible water bottles look it up, I'd bet you they used the same technique there and probably used tumeric for colour

[@LindaDulcinea]

Ikr! I can't believe they showed that and then didn't mention it in the video!

[@josephd.4615]

Soy lecitin also is used. Search for molecular flavors here on youtube.

[@JetSetFork]

molecular gastronomy using calcium chloride for yolk spherification

[@AnonYmous-lk9bk]

Im vegan and this is the stuff i dream about

[@Jbcblack]

sky shelgren no. Stop

[@AsiaThinks]

For reals. I want all of this

[@liriosilvestre7644]

Same lol

[@hillerychan9483]

Same

[@zpon01]

lol just go buy it anywhere but with real meat its easier to get

[@papas_kp5323]

This makes me happy

[@AnonomusKity]

Vegan for the planet's ecosystems, the animals, and for our personal nutrition / health. Three birds one stone....literally a revolutionary act to have common sense

[@eleanorlarson6483]

I LOVE YOU SM

[@Highstranger951]

Explain how animal overpopulation is beneficial to an ecosystem. And also you just killed three birds... hypocrite.

[@amimcelle8063]

Colin Vo Bey I'm slowing making the transition to being a vegan. But as of right now I don't have dairy anyways (intolerance), and I prefer not to consume eggs. It is better for the environment this way.

[@laibaj176]

Do you really think the animals that we eat would be overpopulated if we didnt eat them?! Jesus, you need to do some reading. We meateaters are the ones overbreeding them FOR us to eat.

[@marije-382]

Highstranger951 eating eggs isn't killing chickens.. it's like a period

[@moonstonestiitsia2997]

I'm not vegan for ego, I'm vegan for eco.🌱

[@hannahnalbandian8483]

PREACH

[@tylerd8609]

Corny

[@irb5807]

I heard it's not even that good for the environment.

[@irb5807]

www.sciencealert.com/vegetarian-and-healthy-diets-may-actually-be-worse-for-the-environment-study-finds

[@moonstonestiitsia2997]

IR B, this article is false information. Eating animals results in world-hunger and global-warming because the animals are fed most of the land in the factories and these animals are being fed to us; keeping word hunger alive and destoying the planet and the sentient beings on this planet. Also, Veganism and vegetarianism are different from each other. Profit is the main reason for this process.

[@bentn13]

Sorry, but this isn't gourmet vegan food, it's just normal food substitutes. The impossible burger is supposed to be something most people could eat. What you've shown us here is all things meant to substitute what we currently eat tit for tat rather than show that something amazing can be made full vegan without trying to be "normal". Vegan is normal, it's using fruits and veg and a bunch of stuff that everyone else uses.

[@vianjelos]

Benjamin Tirone Nunes Most gormet food is just regular food..its just made by a high class chef with high quality ingreidents..theres very few "gormet" foods that you cant make at home with lesser quality ingredients.

[@mattisencox8176]

Exactly lol! I was expecting actual gourmet food, not another video of non-vegans eating fast-food grade vegan substitutes. None of these things would be considered gourmet if they were replaced with real meat, just a basic cheese burger, chicken and waffles, and a salad. As a vegan foodie, I'm disappointed ngl lol.

[@fallaciousjinx]

Thank you. Don't get me wrong: Since I've been a vegetarian for now more than 18 years, I appreciate the vegan food. Since I love to eat, I appreciate burgers/sandwiches. But calling burgers/sandwiches gourmet (meatless or not) doesn't seem right...

[@alainerina]

If you try any of the food at Crossroads you'll understand, that place is next level!

[@Gee-xb7rt]

Alaina Wilson the food is geared toward white people that rent intown "luxury" apartments. just because you misuse a word doesn't mean the meaning of the word changes. this place isn't gourmet, its a good option for a vegan version of any other local independent restaurant, but its not gourmet.

[@haleya6877]

The chicken and waffles looks so good

[@gabrielcoimbra7887]

Looks so good !! looking further for the day when people realise that you can be vegan without losing anything you eat, it just will benefit your health, environment, and sentient beings who can endure pain and suffering like we do!

[@Offensive_Username]

Hypocrite. As a vegan you still pollute the environment with synthetic material instead of leather and still kill bugs and ants.

[@BishtrainerTai16]

Yeah, if you can afford it. Those veggie burgers alone are $7 each. And that's the cheapest item they ate.

[@Jo-vw6mu]

nobody's perfect! and there are actually leathers made out of pineapple that are biodegradable!

[@ShinSakuraNoMai]

thats how much I spend on food about for 3 meals xD ... dayum.

[@masha7377]

I doubt that this imitation meat is any healthier than actual (organic) meat.

[@hodcor]

I'm not vegan/veg but I think this is great. Curious to know what this costs.

[@eleanorlarson6483]

It can cost whatever you make it. Anyone can go vegan! you should too!!

[@mattisencox8176]

Most of the things in the video can be homemade pretty cheaply. Gardein is usually quite cheap for their prepackaged bags of frozen substitutes like the chicken in the video at around $3-$5 and the Impossible burger at restaurants as a meal with sides can be anywhere from $10 to $15 usd from what I have seen. Hope that helped!

[@irvancrocs1753]

+Eleanor Larson sounds good, but i'll pass...

[@GabrieleMBest00]

If you learn to cook at home, then this would be very cheap. Anyone can go vegan, the 'expensive' stereotype is just annoying

[@user-iy8oj1kb7f]

Honestly the cost isn’t expensive at all!! My parents are against it but I convinced them because the cost of a couple of my meals is the same as a single burger at a fast food restaurant. It’s awesome the economical, global, ethical, and health impact veganism brings!!

[@MitchellHang]

"Whatever I put in my mouth is my business."

[@eleanorlarson6483]

and the animal who's life ended for your business.

[@MitchellHang]

Eleanor Larson Oh, I'm sorry. I thought this was the "Quotes that allude to sexual innuendos" seminar.

[@hijasmyn]

i love being vegan, but this is not gourmet vegan food lol i eat gardein normally

[@TheDoodLbot]

Vegan food take it a step further to convince meat eaters to stop eating meat... by letting them eat 'meat'. It looks good tho, not going to lie. If I had money, I'd hit that. 😄

[@LM-te9qj]

TheDoodLbot meat eaters and the industry constantly shove "meat" in our face. Walk outside at a station or watch tv and you see 10 ads from mcdonalds, ice creams, chocolate etc

[@TheDoodLbot]

- // I get you. But is it like a way to keep vegans vegan or convince meat-eaters to go vegan, or both? I don't mind it either way tho. A lot of vegan food looks good, but it probably won't convince me to go full vegan any time soon.

[@indeviox]

TheDoodLbot youre fine, id hit that too 😉

[@Chloe-ru2eb]

i think you're using the wrong slang unless having sex with food is something you're into

[@TheDoodLbot]

Chloe Yeah, I know 😆 Sorry, was trying to be comedic with. Like, I like food *that* much. But I guess it didn't pan out well. *badum tss* Okay, I'll leave now.

[@birdsong3786]

Vegan gourmet foods: Chicken and waffles, burger, salad Normal gourmet food: A scallop+a leaf+1 drop of sauce

[@VeganDefinition]

Vegan is life because it's a lifestyle that let's innocent animals live. Don't eat animals for taste pleasure. It's 2017 guys, come on.

[@TheSonar129]

[@GabrieleMBest00]

[@janiecealbell8530]

I hate it when people think vegan or vegetarian is automatically healthy eating. It really isn't. A basic nutrition class will tell you that

[@janiecealbell8530]

Kimberley Jackson many vegans don't plan their diet out well and end up not consuming the nutrients that they need

[@janiecealbell8530]

Kimberley Jackson um my point is, is that just because your vegan or vegetarian doesn't mean your eating healthy. I'm a freaking nurse I have nothing against veganism or vegetarianism. Lol

[@janiecealbell8530]

Kimberley Jackson also that does have something to do with veganism. They are more prone to deficiencies

[@janiecealbell8530]

Kimberley Jackson why are you so defensive? Id you didn't like my comment then don't post on it. Simple

[@janiecealbell8530]

Kimberley Jackson also I posted this comment because of other dumbasses in the comment section

[@mellamokori]

How is this gourmet if they’re using frozen meat replacements?? Make the “chicken” yourself.

[@angel_mood1812]

[@emilyrosebutler4589]

Go vegan to save yourself, the animals and the world 🐄🐖🐓

[@GabrieleMBest00]

Emily Rose Butler And humans! Some animal factories exploit workers and they get ptsd from killing all day. And its also the most simple and effective way to solve world hunger.

[@Gangstereinhorn]

Save yourself from shoving bad things into your body. Dairy products and meat isn't good for us in any way.

[@rhiannajay9687]

@scrappy Velazquez cancer, diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis, heart disease high blood pressure, high cholesterol, cataracts, arthritis

[@rhiannajay9687]

+shoe laces nope. even processed vegan foods are better than meat regardless of if its red or not. Animal protein found in meat dairy and in eggs is too acidic for the body which, i'm not going to go into depth here, causes osteoporosis. even white meat has high amounts of saturated fat and chicken s in many farms are fed arsenic which is highly toxic to humans. Even fish isn't as good for you as the food industry wants us to believe because it contains again high levels of arsenic and mercury .

[@rhiannajay9687]

hannah kim yes ! i had low iron too and its gone up since going vegan !x

[@614BlueBerry]

Seems like their scale of 1-10 is "I can't eat this everyday" to "I DEFINITELY KAN EAT DIZ EURRDAY".

[@mmloverjm]

Ok now I know he lied about that chicken and waffles. Over Roscoe's? Really?

[@DmsStudios]

See? Cruelty-Free can be just as good - if not, better.

[@eleanorlarson6483]

i love this comment

[@Irishrebel092]

I think peoples opinions of what "cruelty free" actually means is kinda flawed. I shot a deer two weeks ago and it dropped instantly. bullet hit it's lungs, heart, and spine so it did not suffer or feel any pain. that deer is the definition of organic and free range. The meat will last me till next season which means I don't have to buy meat from the store which probably comes from factory farms.

[@Amraston]

Andrew, thats fine, but 1) no option for 7,5 billion people and 2) not the kind of meat origin you would get in a restaurant.

[@Irishrebel092]

yeah, for 7 billion people we're gonna have to just get over the fact that meat is a required part of the human diet. a full vegan diet is not sustainable for people who don't live in developed countries with a grocery store on each corner. as for the meat served in restaurants, you could idk, learn to cook your own food... my entire point was that "cruelty free" can mean different things to people. to me it just means the animal didn't suffer, while to others that means no animals were involved at all.

I wish there was a series where buzzfeed employees tried to recreate the food that tasty makes...but like itd be a competition between them to see who could make it better in a certain amount of time

[@happysnappyd7640]

Vegetarian = not eat meat Vegan = not eat or use anything that comes from a animal, for example “egg, fur, milk”

[@GabrieleMBest00]

[@rugger256]

As a vegan, some people don’t have the time, nutritional education or affordable access to healthy fresh ingredients

[@MultiBigbird01]

Did you even read the title before making that comment? These are GOURMET vegan dishes.... of course they will look amazing and get stellar reviews... because unlike most vegan foods, they taste good, and vegan food is mostly lacking in flavour, expensive and can be time consuming.

[@LilyRaythederp]

This should become a series!!!

[@Angle-gm1dq]

[@Patralgan]

I used to be a full meatard over 7 years ago. Sometimes I would eat nothing else but 1kg of meat in my meal. Then I decided to go vegetarian for ethical reasons and I was almost a vegan until about 4 years later I did go fully vegan and in very glad that I don't have to have any animal products to have super delicious foods. Each meal is a pleasure, even if it's really cheap and simple. Of course I still love to eat "meat" , but it's always vegan.

[@TheSonar129]

I'm vegetarian and for the most part i do just eat bananas and rice and beans all day. Meat substitutes are too expensive.

[@fenlabyrinth]

same haha. rice, potatoes, bananas, corn, toast. I'm not complaining tho I actually like eating that way. vegan meat subs are super oily and make me bloated

[@littlemiss_missfit7377]

I just don't like meat. the "substitutions I get taste like the vegetables they are made from (squash, potatoes, yam, corn, sprouts etc) because fake meat is as bad as regular meat to me taste wise I think the it tastes just like meat is for people who want to be better but are too lazy or picky to want to change their diet and eat the same (usually unhealthy) things minus meat

[@Ilikefrogs..]

I can't eat most meat subs because I'm allergic to gluten, so I usually just make my own. You can pretty much any fake meat you want out of tofu, and it tastes great.

[@joubert350]

missmarie1193 meat substitutions are not all that great for the body, treat yourself here and there but eat those beans and rice and greens and bananas!

[@sriley1802]

I cant eat gluten either and have been wanting to try make my own fake meat but dont know how, how do you do it?

[@nabhbader]

Vegan or vegetarian food isn’t just MOCK Meat . It has it s own identity . Vegetarian food is their as mains in a lot of countries . It should not come close to nonveg(meat) in taste , it s about having a new pallette altogether

[@sariuca]

Finally a video about vegan food with real (normal) vegan food

[@noraa.616]

8 billion chickens in one year and just in one country are consumed (the United States). And the average chicken is around 5 pounds, and each pound of chicken uses 500 gallons of water to raise! No wonder there’s a global warming problem and that the amazons forests are being cut off right now even though we need the oxygen those forests provide and we need those forests’ ability to absorb co2 (since co2 is what’s causing global warming) ... and people wonder why some people are vegan for environmental purposes- this is why :oSo thank you again buzzfeed for the vegan video!!!

[@ashleyjlucio96]

Since when has a burger and fries been 'gourmet food'

[@vidavisceral5847]

User Name . It's about the quality of the ingredients and the thoughtfulness that goes into creating the recipe. Even the process of preparing a dish. So if the burger and fries you're referring to are from a place like McDonald's, for example, then you're right, that would not be gourmet.

[@thewayitwas]

CassieCatt I think it was a bo Burnham reference.

[@lpshoneytea3671]

Snazzy Jazzy snake Dawson reference 😱

[@lefinlay]

I'm unashamedly a meat eater, but I often choose vegan options at resturants. Pret a Manger (sandwich shop in UK) do the BEST vegan wraps. So much more flavour than your typical meat/cheese combo.

[@96mashy]

A chicken advert before a vegan video. Hilarious

[@Yaokingtray]

if what you are putting in your mouth kills other animals, it’s not just your business. when you take another life, that’s murder. Plain and simple.

[@TheSonar129]

Ben Kansh That's called survival.

[@starryy222]

Wakiki Demore survival? Lmao it's the 21st century, look around, we have more than just raw meat as our food source.

[@matheusrudzevicius6448]

Nuru Del Rey yeah, we have cooked meat, fried chiken, all sorts of stuff

[@roannamay]

Legally it isn’t murder... so that would be a social label you’re putting on someone, which isn’t a particularly big deal, as it doesn’t affect their life in anyway. Meat eaters are still able to get a job, they face no prison sentence and they do not have to pay any fines.

[@spacedogthe1stl97]

Nuru Del Rey what're we going do with the raw meat then sheesh. We'll just cook and eat it

[@Jumpshot-yb7uy]

The girl with the blue hair is gorgeous what is her name on Instagram ?

[@TheSonar129]

Jumpshot 2016 Optometrist. Now.

[@Jumpshot-yb7uy]

Wakiki Demore thanks bro your the real MVP appreciate it

[@TheSonar129]

Jumpshot 2016 Wait, what?

[@jayyyzeee6409]

Granted, Crossroads is high-end vegan food, but it's nice to see people not hating on vegan food for a change. Things have gotten so much better and there are so many more options now in the last 5 years, people who have been on the fence should give veganism another chance.

[@alexandriasomers4805]

Gourmet food but most of this stuff they sell at Walmart/Whole Foods/Publix/Kroger ! Gardein is about the cost of other meat foods and the impossible burger is usually around the same price !

[@swirlyful]

bugs me when he says what goes into his mouth is his business... pretty sure it's animals' and the environment's and pretty much everyone's business since it affects us all

[@babecat2000]

Oh shut up. You can eat meat and still care about the environment.

[@swirlyful]

that is true, but it doesn't make eating meat good for the environment

[@kellemese6252]

That guy also was kind of rude stealing the girls food...it was not funny at all, just disturbing.This is how meat eaters think,act and behave.It is a great presentation

[@babecat2000]

Way to judge people

[@dianalaura3789]

Anett Barta no that’s not it he lack proper table manners which we learn from our parents and this is why I think it’s useful to know proper table manners so that when you go out to a fancy place or out in general you don’t look like him

[@stevan6504]

Idc if you are a vegan or a meat eater.... the important thing is FOOD.... I 👏🏻 LOVE 👏🏻 FOOOODDDD 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@fakkumailaifu9761]

I’m not gonna be vegan until I find a substitute for *ALL SEAFOODS*

[@niteowol]

"GOURMET VEGAN FOOD" proceeds to show chicken and waffles

[@radicalmooser4079]

Is that egg in the thumbnail

[@Amatersuful]

nope it's a fake egg.It could be a mango or anything

[@ramboresa]

Radical Mooser that's what I was thinking

[@TheSonar129]

mmm... grass...

[@pugparty9839]

The food in this video looked delicious and none of it looked like grass! Okay except that Kale salad? What was up with that? Too healthy!

[@andreafraustoz]

dude you ate grass before, bread come from flower that can from grain that come from grass

[@TheSonar129]

Andrea Frausto Bread comes from God. Furthermore, I didn't say anything that was relevant to this video. You inferred wrongly.

[@GabrieleMBest00]

We get it, you carnists cant think of original joles

[@sohyuu]

From the thumbnail i thought people would be trying bibimbap LOL

[@sianpursglove4346]

I hope that restaurants like this will start spreading everywhere so that more people can try it! If I could buy this stuff in the shops at a similar price to the real stuff, I would turn vegan for sure, and I think a lot of people will too especially if people are blindfolded when they taste test then get told and then be fascinated if any of that makes sense lol

[@haleya6877]

Am I the only person that eats meat AND enjoys vegan food?

[@Amatersuful]

i had vegan food couples times it wasnt bad

[@evansphenomenal]

Well, you are omnivore just like me and others ;)

[@kimwilson7991]

Too bad you're still supporting cruelty

[@ohsnapitstheresa2340]

No, humans are herbivores

[@hellsingmongrel]

naw, I'm like that, too. :V

[@natew3925]

How to dislike a comment section.

[@natew3925]

Oh wait, this isn’t google.

[@troguspompeius]

„Gourmet“ equates Burgers and Waffles? Riiiiight.

[@Dje8888]

I recently went to crossroads (last week) and filmed a vlog about it. Man the food was AMAAAAZINNNNGGG there!! I highly recommend anyone going there.

[@thecrafter9966]

They say it's vegan but there's bread right

[@ariyanadelsantos365]

The Crafter the bread doesn't have eggs in it or milk

[@49malene]

Vegan bread

[@eleanorlarson6483]

most bread is vegan.

[@vontor74]

Whats yeast then?

[@vontor74]

Whats yeast then?

[@awesomemochi4424]

Being vegan is tough... that's why I'm not vegan and eat all the meats

[@49malene]

Awesome Mochi life is tough but you're still alive aren't you

[@eleanorlarson6483]

now a days it's actually very easy. there's a sub for everything.

[@andreafraustoz]

there are meat flavored vegan platers

[@namelessenigma]

it's not though

[@GabrieleMBest00]

Well we all hope you get all the meat caused cancer hehehee

[@kimmagoon6584]

"5 star gourmet cuisine" they're using gardein chicken which is sold at target.

[@nettlesm423]

One of my fav things is to get a maccas cheese burger, replace Te meat and cheese with a hash brown and chips, so good

[@brainquake4413]

Non Veg squad where you at!!!

[@satan9487]

here

[@psg8009]

incoming vegans who cant acknowledge that some people prefer meat (not saying vegan is bad or anything)

[@CarlosGutierrez-fy4wk]

PinoyStyleG it's like ya you prefer but the consumption of it and the industry is just really cruel and most people will rather try ignoring it doesn't happen and animal agriculture accounts for 1/3 of environmental pollution

[@49malene]

We understand some people like meat, so did we. We're just tryna inform people, it's you're choice what u wanna do with the information

[@nat1346]

P

[@pugparty9839]

Is it okay if I eat human or dog if I prefer it?

[@roannamay]

PugParty see the only difference is there are LAWS. If law is passed prohibiting people from eating meat then I could understand the uproar, however it hasn’t so all this unnecessary comparison to eating humans, ect. you need to cease and dismiss

[@Zippish]

Wait, so they show off these amazing looking vegan dishes at the start and then feed them stuff that looks like regular fast food? I'd definitely prefer the earlier dishes they showed.

[@domallen1451]

That caeser salad just is what i automatically think of a vegan eating 😂😂
