The vegan place to discuss things.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

I think UPF foods are absolutely disgusting and almost never eat any plant-based analogues. Sometimes I will eat dry TVP but not very often and I'm not sure if that is processed or ultra processed, it has a single ingredient - defatted soy flour.

I never liked cheese so vegan cheese is especially gross to me. I have no desire to replicate meat or eat any American style shit that comes in a box. My own experience in life is people who eat simple foods are more often healthy and people who subject themselves to food science have problems.

I agree with you. Most of the "meat alternatives" taste like shit and I'm tired of pretending like they don't. One of the main factors in me eventually going WFPB is that I don't like plant-based versions of non-vegan stuff and would rather make my own food from scratch.
