I'm genuinely baffled at the idea that beyond meat can be seen as remotely as good as a beef burger. It is VERY different. Albeit an okay replacement in a lot of senses, it just can never be as good as a traditional beef burger. Generally I wish I could be vegetarian but beef burgers would be by far the worst part for me if I had to give up meat...

Beyond burgers suck. Have you tried an impossible burger? Those are pretty fucking close

Yeah I have but it's been years. I think I'm with you that I prefer impossible over beyond burgers

IMO how things taste varies wildly from person to person. To me Beyond burger has a weird flavor that I dislike that never goes away.

Impossible burgers are a much better meat replacement to my taste buds. They're still not 100%, there's always a bite or two at the start were they taste off, but after that they taste pretty much like a cheap hamburger.

I eat meatless burgers at least once a week and I agree that beyond burgers have a lingering taste of cat food. Impossible burgers are far superior.

While I agree that beef burgers are great and that beyond meat just isn't the same, I think it's also important to remember that the second best thing to going vegetarian is eating less meat.

Yeah I agree. I do eat veggie burgers from time to time and enjoy them. I just take issue with the claim that these replacements are " just like meat". It's not, and that's ok

Yes, that's because it's not an Impossible burger. Now that one... comes really close.
