Sure that's true livestock are processed as well, but one of the benefits of going vegan is healthier eating. You can't even call impossible burgers healthier. As far as taste, I'll admit that meat burgers are much more variable whereas impossible's are just one product. So it's more consistent compared to all the bad options you have for meat burgers. But compared to a fresh unfrozen well-grilled burger there's absolutely no comparison. You are simply not making a serious argument to say impossible's taste better than that, to the point that I think you could be trolling. At best you can say they aren't terrible, but again they're more expensive. As far as beyond's go, they're even worse than the worst frozen burgers I can find.

> but one of the benefits of going vegan is healthier eating Veganism is about not using animal products. It says nothing about the health of the diet. That some people incidentally eat healthier through becoming vegan says nothing about veganism as a whole. > But compared to a fresh unfrozen well-grilled burger there's absolutely no comparison.

I agree, which is why I mention that lab grown meat (that tastes identical to naturally raised meat because, well, it's all the same cells in the end) is the answer over trying to get everyone to change their behavior.

  > Veganism is about not using animal products. It says nothing about the health of the diet. When I google "why be vegan" all the top 5 results are "because of health". So objectively, you are wrong. It sounds like you have an idealistic view of what it means to be vegan that flies in the face of reality.

This is seriously sad at this point, I'm out.

        Please don't do tit-for-tat flamewars on HN. It's against the site guidelines and makes for tedious reading. If someone else is stubbornly wrong, usually the best thing to do is just move on to something more interesting. Trying to win an argument or have the last word is not a curiosity-driven activity and the latter is what we want here. If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.
