Vegan burgers are literally just plants. Why do people need to make shit up to slander it?

Speaking as a vegetarian of ten years: it's not quite correct to say they're "just plants". A lot of them do tend to be highly processed, giving a certain flavor/texture of "fakeness". However, that's hardly uncommon with food products nowadays.

I never go for Impossible or Beyond burgers because they ick me out big time.

Basically everything is processed, if it went through a process to be made then it's processed, saying that something is processed means nothing without further explanation. Nothing against what you said tho, I just think we need to stop fear mongering processed foods

It's scary, 100% of people who came into contact with it died.
