That's been my experience too. I'm trying to eat less meat and find alternatives that work for me, but it apparently has to be all or fuck you for some. I know it's not everyone, but somehow they seem the loudest and it's not very helpful.
i completely agree, i just dislike the flavour of protein in general, it's hard to find things that i like and maybe a lot of vegan options just don't hide the bean taste enough for me either, the most processed meat has always been the most edible to me and i love a lot of vegan processed options as well, but when faced with the $2 sausages or the $7 sausages, it shouldn't be expected to be the easiest choice for a shopper to make imo, i love anyone willing to take up that front for sure, but it's funny just how willing some people seem to be to alienate people entirely from something that could only grow the gateway into the movement
i only eat so much quinoa and soba because it's quicker to eat and doesn't taste like meat or beans which are both honestly pretty good if they're done right, but i don't have the time or money, i look forward to the days of cheaper vegan options but we're still a ways off and i splurge just whenever i can
also, if someone ever comes out with a vegan lil' smokies (not a bbq carrot), and if someone remembers this post, pls msg me cause i would actually pay up to $12 a pack to fund the mission for something good and gross and easy like that for a litl potluck or even just for me with some mustard and pillsbury crescents -_-
