@SaintlySin made the most incredible celebration dinner last night with Juicy Marbles steaks (https://juicymarbles.com/) and La Fauxmagerie Brixton Blue cheese sauce (https://lafauxmagerie.co.uk/) and if I hadn't known I honestly would not have been able to tell these weren't animal products from the taste and texture. There really is no need to eat meat* when vegan alternatives are this good.
*unless obviously you have a health issue that requires you to.

@Infoseepage I knew I was going to get at least one comment assuming this is what we eat every day, this always happens when I post a special meal and people see that but not our regular boring food. Vegans don't eat steak substitutes every night because they are expensive, just as I imagine non vegans don't eat steak and blue cheese sauce every night. 95% of our meals are based around tofu, beans or lentils not meat substitutes, but you don't see that because we don't post every curry or stir fry we make or everyone would be bored to tears

@Infoseepage @SaintlySin @tobyjaffey interesting and possiblity slightly counterintuitive fact, but in spite of being more processed meat substitutes are still often healthier than the meat they're replacing https://social.coop/@afewbugs/115581974260708891

@Infoseepage @SaintlySin @afewbugs There's been a huge boom in quick-cook faux meat products in recent years. Most of them are ultra-processed, more expensive than meat and probably worse for your health too (though, I definitely indulge in them sometimes).
My advice is to explore cuisines and dishes which are "accidentally vegan" - already great without making a substitution. Indian lentil dals, Mexican bean dishes, Japanese tofu dishes, etc.
