Well, at least his argument is an original one. If we have to continue on the God argument, then why did God give these animals feelings of pain, happiness, sadness, connection, suffering, misery? Why did that same God gave me, a basic human, the same feelings and made me realize veganism is the right choice because it is all about creating less suffering, more compassion? It can easily be argued that the reason why God made animals sentient is to test our compassion and respect...
And that's if you just grant his appeal to a god and try to work with it, because if you wanna press all the way, he'd need to demonstrate the existence of such god to begin with. In any case, I get that it's easier to push for real change by just trying to work along with the person's already held beliefs, as stupid as they may be, instead of attacking them and go into an entire tangent that most likely won't budge at all. We can (hopefully) solve things later, when the more pressing matters are resolved...
where does it create more compassion? does it create compassion in a wild pig that you dont eat their cousins with onions and fries? that s 1 thing that you dont want to create unnecessarily suffering for them as we are not cruel, but that is an other to not value their lives as much as humans.
As a vegan activist myself, it is honestly so disheartening and exhausting going through debates like this one. Talking to someone who acknowledges their contradictions, yet concluding that their lifestyle "works for them." Activism is exhausting, time consuming and at times, feels hopeless. I applaud you, Ed, for fighting for so long. We have to go out and do it. At the end of the day, the individuals that we reach who understand and stop contributing to animal agriculture because of us... that makes it all worth it ❤
Yes, it can be completely aggravating. Why don't people care?? And it's really not that hard, especially today. The plus side is that some people DO change when they learn the truth. I was one of those people.
@@WorldOfARandomVegan People do care. Vegans assume that people who eat meat don't care about animals. That couldn't be further from the truth. But, vegan activists don't offer any solutions. Vegan activists say that factory farms place animals in horrible conditions. Most people would agree that those conditions should be improved. But, vegans offer no solutions to improving the condition of farms. They just claim that people should not eat animal products, which is not a solution.
@@MasterMoronHow would you propose we “improve” factory farming conditions? No matter how much we improve it, the only and EASIEST option for improvement is to simply not consume animal products. Organic farming isn’t sustainable either, if we had 100% organic farming (which is STILL exploiting other animals unnecessarily) we would use up WAY too much land and food resources rather than having majority factory farming. I don’t agree; vegans do give solutions. But these solutions are often regardes as extreme. Is it extreme to simply not cause unnecessary suffering? Is it extreme to not exploit other sentient beings unnecessarily?
@@7yu00not eating animal products isn't a solution. If you went to a doctor and told the doctor your arm wasn't working and he told you to just stop using your arm you would seek a new doctor because he wasn't offering you any solution. If you go to a lawyer and told him that your ex wasn't letting you see your child and he told you to just not see your child you would go to a different lawyer because they are not offering a solution. If you were running an animal farm and you hired someone to make the farm more ethical and sustainable and they told you to stop producing meat you would fire them because they didn't offer any solutions.
@@MasterMoron That analogy doesn’t work unfortunately. Not eating animal products aka a well planned plant-based diet, does not impact your well-being, health or life in a negative way, assuming you live in a first- or second-world state like I do, such as Germany, the US, the Netherlands, you get it. The point is that we do things we don’t NEED to do. We don’t NEED to inflict pain and suffering on other sentient beings because there is an alternative: not doing it. Again, as I said, organic farming is not sustainable at all, if you were wondering about sustainability. The most sustainable way of farming is factory farming nowadays.
No empathy for animal suffering! Total psychopath wanting to eat human meat. Too bad he can't be locked away now before he becomes the next Jeffrey Dahmer...
I had a conversation with a friend who sounded just like this guy and I hung out with them a few times after that, but I just couldn't get past it. I didn't want to be friends with someone who argued so strongly against veganism with stupid points. I can be friends with non-vegans, but I can't be friends with people who go out of their way to argue against it.
My problem with him is not that he argues against it, it's that his arguments are stupid, self-contradictory, and absurd, and he KNOWS it and says so, and he STILL says them out loud. I could hang out with someone that I AGREED with if that was how he argued for what I believe in! It's just a firehose of nonsense, spouted off with such undeserved confidence. (He also has trouble just shutting up for a second, and when he does, he doesn't let anything penetrate his wall of absurdities. He just waits for the next opportunity to repeat the same nonsense that he acknowledge a minute ago was false, wrong, contradictory, and immoral. Run from people like this, even if they are vegans!
@@CC-qv3miAgree with this. Had a whole conversation with an adult male, CEO of a company apparently, on LinkedIn who literally said “I accept this moral contradiction.” As in he knew he was in the wrong, kept arguing with the same argument I already debunked (he said it himself) and then in the end says “I don’t care, I accept the moral contradiction.” ????? I was genuinely so confused. Then he even used ageism and racism in his “arguments” so I just stopped talking to said person LOL. Had many conversations like this. No matter how polite or professional I stay, it always ends the same way. And I’m not an adult.
Personally, to me I smell the dead flesh and want to vomit, he must have lost his taste buds or eat super spicy to cover the taste of decaying flesh. Gross!!! But, that's me being ultra-sensitive to smells and taste.

@@Ceaseless_Cischarge It was obvious from the beginning that he didn't take the conversation seriously until Ed treated him with a little respect. it was only then that his opinion, though incorrect, showed some thought process. If you think he was being serious when he said he wanted to eat human flesh , I will respectfully disagree.
@@stevenmeyer9674 You're welcome to disagree but I think it's naive tbh . Whatever you do please don't get too close to him thinking he wasn't serious. You might wake up on a hook in a shipping container. lol
Holy hell, this dude is a fascinating casy study in just saying random shit that pops into his head and then trying to rationalize them afterwards. Also if he is thinking about eating humans regularly he needs to be on some sort of watch list.
Cannibalism isn’t inherently wrong. In fact, humans can consent to being eaten so it’s less unethical than unethical than eating another animal, and actually ethical if the humans was vegan.
If god didn't want me to strangle people why did he give me hands? This is a great and consistent argument that does not immediately fall apart in other contexts at all LMFAO
He's literally throwing every argument at you - clearly delving into a conscious thought he didn't know he had. And running out of excuses. Your ability to not laugh, keep cool and actually engage in dialogue is brilliant Ed!
The diffusion of responsibility that people feel is so interesting. Around 8:15 when he’s saying everyone does it so the responsibility isn’t on each people, imagine a world where we all assumed responsibility. It’s like the bystander effect, when everyone thinks everyone else is going to call 911 or do cpr in an emergency, but then nobody does
I might wake up one day and recognise that this life I am experiencing is just an absurdist nightmare with lunatics at every turn. Maybe I am still coming down off that one epic shroom trip from several years back. It's hard to say at times.
I think this guy just says the wild shit bc he gets a reaction. When Ed didn’t react it caused him to think about what he was actually saying a bit deeper. Bravo to Ed for always being calm.
my thoughts exactly. he is probably more used to people getting reactive after he purposefully uses inflammatory/shocking examples to divert attention from the actual topic at hand and consequently any accountability/responsibility on his part. pathetic.
As a University of Arizona graduate that went vegetarian in college, and vegan a couple years after that, I'm incredibly embarrassed by this dude. I think even as he heard himself he started to realize just how unhinged he sounded, and had to try to back pedal a little. Thank you, Ed, for your clarity and patience in the interviews, always! If I ever catch you in person, I'll be fangirl-ing SO hard. 😅
Ed, please keep up this work! You have moved me from vegetarianism to veganism and as a result 3 people around me and many on moving that way. It's a long road and I think you are the brightest light. I just wish I could engage in the conversations with such control, logic and questioning. Brilliant!
It never ceases to amaze me the intellectual gyrations people will go through to avoid the obvious logical conclusions from premises they plainly accept.
So basically, the guy (Moses) being interviewed in this video is saying, "I'm consciously aware and fully admit that murdering innocent, defenceless, child-like animals, just so I can eat their muscle flesh, is terribly cruel, inhumane, unethical, immoral, and simply wrong, but I'm going to keep doing it anyway." 🥴 Sadly, I don't hold out much hope for the future of humanity 😢
@@MasterMoron okay, great. So you don’t think buying CP is immoral. What if the human traffickers then put the child on the black market? Then is it okay if I buy that child? If not, would it make it moral if that child was killed first?
"If God didn't want us to eat animals, why did he make them so tasty?" I think the better question is "Why do you put your faith into something that has no empirical proof of existence beyond a book written by anonymous authors, and build your flimsy moral compass around it?"
@@Returntonature145 It's easy for believers to just call god the cause of evolution or any other natural process. In fact most christians accept that evolution is a thing. Don't get me wrong it definitely is incompatible with a fundamentalist religious view but people are really good at squaring mental circles.
Its the plant based sauces and spices to cover the unappetizing taste and texture of uncooked meat. Plus Genesis 1 29 through 30 for that matter says how God completed creation when providing seed-bearing foods for All Creatures as their source of food which would be without predation / perdition
@mind5403 I remember before going vegan getting a whole bunch of chicken drumsticks and trying to put hickory BBQ sauce on them (which mostly melted off in the oven.) And I have never been more disappointed with a meal in my life. The meat itself is dull and kind of gross. The seasoning / batter / vegetable oils used to create tasty chicken has nothing to do with the meat, and I've found it tastes just as good on plant proteins
Recently I took part in a Cube of Truth and faced several times teens (10-15yo) and they were really close minded and didn't really care and when in groups it's even harder as they want to have a dominant role among their peers and don't want to be seen as weak. I would love to see how you would react in this kind of situation, with groups of young teenagers or teens who don't care and just enjoy their bacon sandwich. Excellent video, as always. I really love how you always have the right thing to say at the right time without being on the critical side and while respecting people. Keep it up! Love your videos!
Not wearing seatbelt is not the same danger as being held capable, tortured and scheduled to die. There is so much safety in the risk we take in developed civilizations compared to the way animals are treated. If a gun was held to his head with a high chance of being killed, this guy would beg for his life and s**t his pants. His arguments are just to justify his position for debate purposes, not reality.
Since when did God ever say because something is pleasurable that therefore it alludes to his approval? Seems like almost the antithesis of God's traditional character.
I like how every one of these people says that we should do everything we can to minimize harm to the planet and to animals, but none of them actually try to do anything. The internet has made people believe that "supporting" a cause amounts to saying you support it and nothing else.
To those that use that argument, try it without seasoning. Tofu also tastes like cartbord if you don't season it. A lot of things would taste like shit if you don't season it.
A thought I've recently had that is a powerful thing to bring up when people feel like -if they stop eating meat, that they won't really cause any change to the overall picture: Let's say someone is 25 years old and they live to 85 and they eat meat twice a day. That equates to 36,400 animals that they will eat in their life time from then on. ONE PERSON. If we go from the time they are 5 years old to 85 that is 53,760!!
He did make a 600 year old pensioner build an ark , and destroyed the human race because he was upset his science experiments didn't work even though he was always going to know the outcome
Ed, how are you doing this? I could never ever stay so calm after hearing such words, that show how little someone cares about the suffering of others.
@@vkb63522 I don’t get your sense of humor. I think it’s not funny to make jokes about the abuse and killing of individuals. Even if you are not part of it.
I find so annoying these bizarre loopy arguments, that's self indulgent and bs, it just shows that the arguments generated by Ed are so common sense and down to earth
It's so interesting to see that right below the tired old "animals taste good" quips, this guy knows that eating meat is problematic. Changes are happening. When I was his age, it would have been exceeding rare for a college student to be cognizant of the cruelties of raising and slaughtering animals.
Hot take but Meat doesn't taste "fucking delicious" at all. I feel like every video Ed posts, someone eventually states something along the lines of "I love the taste of meat" or "meat is sooooo good" or whatever else. However even when I was still an omnivore I remember thinking to myself that meat is actually super bland. All the flavor in meat is typically derived from the spice rub or the marinade or the sauce we put on it. The meat itself doesn't really have that much flavor without any of the add-ons. I could sort of understand if someone said they miss the texture of meat because even the best vegan meat substitutes fall short of capturing the correct texture most of the time. That however is only really an issue for non processed meat, any kind of processed meat (Ground Beef, chicken nuggets, etc.) typically have removed the texture component already and vegan substitutes are generally undetectable. It just makes me wonder if meat eaters ever actually stopped to realize that the reason they like popeyes so much isn't because it is meat, but rather because its been deep-fried in a nice crunchy batter and that's why it "tastes so good".
Youre speaking straight up facts Like unseasoned meat tastes of nothing and kinda gross sometimes even Like idk its legit all the spices and fat that makes it delicious for them
I agree, I don't get meat being "tasty" - but it's the texture that really grosses me out now if something plant-based tastes too real. I never liked it as a child either, seeing the blood squirting, the chewy texture, etc. It was all covered up with sauces & seasonings and condiments & fried breading.
You can make the exact same argument for vegetables. The flavors they naturally have aren't appealing, and salads have no calories and no flavor so you have to dress it in a billion different things to have a balanced meal.
@@27Flopps No that's cap. You think apples, oranges, mustered greens, sweet potatoes, red peppers, tomatoes etc, etc, have comparable flavor to meat? There's no way bruh.
@whuwhaaa2 Apples and oranges aren't vegetables, they're fruit and they actually have flavor. Potatoes have no flavor. Bake or boil a potato with no seasoning or even just eat raw potato and you'll see that it's almost flavorless and has very little flavor by itself. Even then if there are vegetables with flavor it isn't very good when either raw or cooked. You need seasonings to make them taste better.
It really tied the whole conversation together. Dude was stuck in an imaginary scenario that hasn't ever occurred and Ed respectfully brought the debate back to reality
I think Ed did have some fun with this guy 😂...After all Ed did laugh more in this episode than with the other interview partners...At least this guy was original and honest 😅...Although I would not like to meet him in the dark...or outside of a huge group of non-cannibals 😅.
The thing that comes to mind when I watch this is that this guy and many others just like him are going through the world making decisions with these huge gaps in their logic. You can tell he never even considered that animals don't volunteer to be consumed. He drives a car. I'm expected to believe this person and others like him are rational beings.
Well done 👏 You’re such a smart guy, in your questions, your delivery and your patience. It can’t be easy to sit there and not butt in every time they say something silly or contradicting. Almost like the tactic is giving them time to talk them into doom and having time to think about what they’re saying and doing. Friendly calm approach helps make them feel relaxed and open to hearing new mindsets. Long lasting thoughts will be planted in there head and help them start the change. Well done
1st 😁 I had ppl ask me that as well. I just simply tell them it’s not d animals that are tasty it’s the seasoning, which is why we can make non-animal products taste the same
@@spencerprice1676that is true for most foods actually. A lot of things can be even better if you really know how to cook. The most difficult part is usually the texture. Not taste.
This is what happens when someone from reddit tries to use their highly-upvoted comments in real life, away from other cringe redditors. It was actually embarassing to watch these anti vegan talking points against someone as logical as éd.

Well, at least his argument is an original one. If we have to continue on the God argument, then why did God give these animals feelings of pain, happiness, sadness, connection, suffering, misery? Why did that same God gave me, a basic human, the same feelings and made me realize veganism is the right choice because it is all about creating less suffering, more compassion? It can easily be argued that the reason why God made animals sentient is to test our compassion and respect...
And that's if you just grant his appeal to a god and try to work with it, because if you wanna press all the way, he'd need to demonstrate the existence of such god to begin with.
In any case, I get that it's easier to push for real change by just trying to work along with the person's already held beliefs, as stupid as they may be, instead of attacking them and go into an entire tangent that most likely won't budge at all. We can (hopefully) solve things later, when the more pressing matters are resolved...
Plus delectable plant based spices&sauces cover the unappetizing taste of uncooked meat
where does it create more compassion? does it create compassion in a wild pig that you dont eat their cousins with onions and fries? that s 1 thing that you dont want to create unnecessarily suffering for them as we are not cruel, but that is an other to not value their lives as much as humans.
As a vegan activist myself, it is honestly so disheartening and exhausting going through debates like this one. Talking to someone who acknowledges their contradictions, yet concluding that their lifestyle "works for them." Activism is exhausting, time consuming and at times, feels hopeless. I applaud you, Ed, for fighting for so long. We have to go out and do it. At the end of the day, the individuals that we reach who understand and stop contributing to animal agriculture because of us... that makes it all worth it ❤
Yes, it can be completely aggravating. Why don't people care?? And it's really not that hard, especially today. The plus side is that some people DO change when they learn the truth. I was one of those people.
@@WorldOfARandomVegan People do care. Vegans assume that people who eat meat don't care about animals. That couldn't be further from the truth. But, vegan activists don't offer any solutions. Vegan activists say that factory farms place animals in horrible conditions. Most people would agree that those conditions should be improved. But, vegans offer no solutions to improving the condition of farms. They just claim that people should not eat animal products, which is not a solution.
@@MasterMoronHow would you propose we “improve” factory farming conditions? No matter how much we improve it, the only and EASIEST option for improvement is to simply not consume animal products. Organic farming isn’t sustainable either, if we had 100% organic farming (which is STILL exploiting other animals unnecessarily) we would use up WAY too much land and food resources rather than having majority factory farming. I don’t agree; vegans do give solutions. But these solutions are often regardes as extreme. Is it extreme to simply not cause unnecessary suffering? Is it extreme to not exploit other sentient beings unnecessarily?
@@7yu00not eating animal products isn't a solution. If you went to a doctor and told the doctor your arm wasn't working and he told you to just stop using your arm you would seek a new doctor because he wasn't offering you any solution. If you go to a lawyer and told him that your ex wasn't letting you see your child and he told you to just not see your child you would go to a different lawyer because they are not offering a solution. If you were running an animal farm and you hired someone to make the farm more ethical and sustainable and they told you to stop producing meat you would fire them because they didn't offer any solutions.
@@MasterMoron That analogy doesn’t work unfortunately. Not eating animal products aka a well planned plant-based diet, does not impact your well-being, health or life in a negative way, assuming you live in a first- or second-world state like I do, such as Germany, the US, the Netherlands, you get it. The point is that we do things we don’t NEED to do. We don’t NEED to inflict pain and suffering on other sentient beings because there is an alternative: not doing it. Again, as I said, organic farming is not sustainable at all, if you were wondering about sustainability. The most sustainable way of farming is factory farming nowadays.
It’s DISGRACEFUL how normalized a crazy person like this is in our society. He may seem nice but he’s a psychopath when it comes to his actions.
No empathy for animal suffering! Total psychopath wanting to eat human meat. Too bad he can't be locked away now before he becomes the next Jeffrey Dahmer...

My god get a grip
I had a conversation with a friend who sounded just like this guy and I hung out with them a few times after that, but I just couldn't get past it. I didn't want to be friends with someone who argued so strongly against veganism with stupid points. I can be friends with non-vegans, but I can't be friends with people who go out of their way to argue against it.
My problem with him is not that he argues against it, it's that his arguments are stupid, self-contradictory, and absurd, and he KNOWS it and says so, and he STILL says them out loud. I could hang out with someone that I AGREED with if that was how he argued for what I believe in! It's just a firehose of nonsense, spouted off with such undeserved confidence. (He also has trouble just shutting up for a second, and when he does, he doesn't let anything penetrate his wall of absurdities. He just waits for the next opportunity to repeat the same nonsense that he acknowledge a minute ago was false, wrong, contradictory, and immoral. Run from people like this, even if they are vegans!
why?
@@CC-qv3miAgree with this. Had a whole conversation with an adult male, CEO of a company apparently, on LinkedIn who literally said “I accept this moral contradiction.” As in he knew he was in the wrong, kept arguing with the same argument I already debunked (he said it himself) and then in the end says “I don’t care, I accept the moral contradiction.” ????? I was genuinely so confused. Then he even used ageism and racism in his “arguments” so I just stopped talking to said person LOL. Had many conversations like this. No matter how polite or professional I stay, it always ends the same way. And I’m not an adult.
The first guy really thought he ate with "why did god make them so tasty?". The most moronic argument I've ever heard 😂
He probably just learnt it and thought it was funny, a bit sad.
Personally, to me I smell the dead flesh and want to vomit, he must have lost his taste buds or eat super spicy to cover the taste of decaying flesh. Gross!!! But, that's me being ultra-sensitive to smells and taste.
This is the main argument of most meat eaters that don’t have arguments. It is the reason they eat meat, because of taste.

Yeah, that human meat thing would've had me walking away. I have no respect for that nut.
The diffusion of responsibility that people feel is so interesting. Around 8:15 when he’s saying everyone does it so the responsibility isn’t on each people, imagine a world where we all assumed responsibility. It’s like the bystander effect, when everyone thinks everyone else is going to call 911 or do cpr in an emergency, but then nobody does

my thoughts exactly. he is probably more used to people getting reactive after he purposefully uses inflammatory/shocking examples to divert attention from the actual topic at hand and consequently any accountability/responsibility on his part. pathetic.
The argument that starts with the two words "if God" it's already invalid. Thank you for stopping by thou.

As a University of Arizona graduate that went vegetarian in college, and vegan a couple years after that, I'm incredibly embarrassed by this dude. I think even as he heard himself he started to realize just how unhinged he sounded, and had to try to back pedal a little. Thank you, Ed, for your clarity and patience in the interviews, always!

Denying the existence of lions, tigers, wolves, foxes, dogs, cats, dolphins, bears, and Seals, are you?
So basically, the guy (Moses) being interviewed in this video is saying, "I'm consciously aware and fully admit that murdering innocent, defenceless, child-like animals, just so I can eat their muscle flesh, is terribly cruel, inhumane, unethical, immoral, and simply wrong, but I'm going to keep doing it anyway." 🥴 Sadly, I don't hold out much hope for the future of humanity 😢

He doesn't murder animals though. He just buys meat from a grocery store. There is nothing immoral about buying a product.

"If God didn't want us to eat animals, why did he make them so tasty?"
I think the better question is "Why do you put your faith into something that has no empirical proof of existence beyond a book written by anonymous authors, and build your flimsy moral compass around it?"
I would also like for somebody to answer this question, but with logic, truth and evidence
He talks about evolution and also believes in god😂😂What a contradiction
@@Returntonature145 It's easy for believers to just call god the cause of evolution or any other natural process. In fact most christians accept that evolution is a thing. Don't get me wrong it definitely is incompatible with a fundamentalist religious view but people are really good at squaring mental circles.
Its the plant based sauces and spices to cover the unappetizing taste and texture of uncooked meat. Plus Genesis 1 29 through 30 for that matter says how God completed creation when providing seed-bearing foods for All Creatures as their source of food which would be without predation / perdition
Isn’t it the seasoning that tastes good?
Exactly. Ed should have asked him when was the last time he ate raw, unseasoned meat, if it's so delicious to him.
@mind5403if you just ate raw ass meat you’d find it gross lol
@@e.r.e.But there are raw vegetables that need to be cooked to release their full flavour too, like cauliflower or broccoli.
@mind5403 I remember before going vegan getting a whole bunch of chicken drumsticks and trying to put hickory BBQ sauce on them (which mostly melted off in the oven.) And I have never been more disappointed with a meal in my life. The meat itself is dull and kind of gross. The seasoning / batter / vegetable oils used to create tasty chicken has nothing to do with the meat, and I've found it tastes just as good on plant proteins
Meat with seasoning tastes better than vegan food with seasoning imo. Also, taste is subjective.

Since when did God ever say because something is pleasurable that therefore it alludes to his approval? Seems like almost the antithesis of God's traditional character.
I like how every one of these people says that we should do everything we can to minimize harm to the planet and to animals, but none of them actually try to do anything. The internet has made people believe that "supporting" a cause amounts to saying you support it and nothing else.
To those that use that argument, try it without seasoning. Tofu also tastes like cartbord if you don't season it. A lot of things would taste like shit if you don't season it.

@@JasonNoto for the record i'm vegan myself; my point was about how meat tastes like nothing without plants to flavor it lmao
A thought I've recently had that is a powerful thing to bring up when people feel like -if they stop eating meat, that they won't really cause any change to the overall picture: Let's say someone is 25 years old and they live to 85 and they eat meat twice a day. That equates to 36,400 animals that they will eat in their life time from then on. ONE PERSON. If we go from the time they are 5 years old to 85 that is 53,760!!

Love the way these guys talk about god and evolution and then say we have ‘canine’ teeth.
I find so annoying these bizarre loopy arguments, that's self indulgent and bs, it just shows that the arguments generated by Ed are so common sense and down to earth
It's so interesting to see that right below the tired old "animals taste good" quips, this guy knows that eating meat is problematic. Changes are happening. When I was his age, it would have been exceeding rare for a college student to be cognizant of the cruelties of raising and slaughtering animals.
Hot take but Meat doesn't taste "fucking delicious" at all. I feel like every video Ed posts, someone eventually states something along the lines of "I love the taste of meat" or "meat is sooooo good" or whatever else. However even when I was still an omnivore I remember thinking to myself that meat is actually super bland. All the flavor in meat is typically derived from the spice rub or the marinade or the sauce we put on it. The meat itself doesn't really have that much flavor without any of the add-ons. I could sort of understand if someone said they miss the texture of meat because even the best vegan meat substitutes fall short of capturing the correct texture most of the time. That however is only really an issue for non processed meat, any kind of processed meat (Ground Beef, chicken nuggets, etc.) typically have removed the texture component already and vegan substitutes are generally undetectable.
It just makes me wonder if meat eaters ever actually stopped to realize that the reason they like popeyes so much isn't because it is meat, but rather because its been deep-fried in a nice crunchy batter and that's why it "tastes so good".
Youre speaking straight up facts
Like unseasoned meat tastes of nothing and kinda gross sometimes even
Like idk its legit all the spices and fat that makes it delicious for them
I agree, I don't get meat being "tasty" - but it's the texture that really grosses me out now if something plant-based tastes too real. I never liked it as a child either, seeing the blood squirting, the chewy texture, etc. It was all covered up with sauces & seasonings and condiments & fried breading.
You can make the exact same argument for vegetables. The flavors they naturally have aren't appealing, and salads have no calories and no flavor so you have to dress it in a billion different things to have a balanced meal.
@@27Flopps No that's cap. You think apples, oranges, mustered greens, sweet potatoes, red peppers, tomatoes etc, etc, have comparable flavor to meat? There's no way bruh.
@whuwhaaa2 Apples and oranges aren't vegetables, they're fruit and they actually have flavor. Potatoes have no flavor. Bake or boil a potato with no seasoning or even just eat raw potato and you'll see that it's almost flavorless and has very little flavor by itself. Even then if there are vegetables with flavor it isn't very good when either raw or cooked. You need seasonings to make them taste better.
we love you Ed!
