I personally see this opinion pop up just about every time meat substitutes come up in conversation, including on hexbear.

And re: meat substitutes being ‘full of weird shit’ just comes off as silly when the majority of them are basically just fancy bread. Soy protein, wheat gluten and seasoning oooh so scary.

Okay but seriously though, there are a lot of things that are ‘imitations’ of things that are morally repugnant that are not only harmless but enjoyable due to the fact that no one is getting hurt from it. Like violent video games, some sexual roleplay and so on.

It’s less ‘we are imitating the animal harm hooray’ and more ‘we took the animal harm out of this thousand+ year old human food tradition, hooray!’ (or twenty+ year old if it’s the fast food stuff lol)

damn that’s some pretty good imitation baby

He is so fucking stupid.

Actually you know what? I hope he keeps talking. I hope he keeps talking about a wider and wider variety of subjects because that increases the odds of any person seeing him talk and going ‘Wait a minute, I think this guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about!’, which is the reaction everyone should have

Not quite. It’s them but also all the people who have financial involvement in animal agriculture.
