    We are all different. I personally prefer the meat burgers to the vegan alternatives. If they had made a burger with “RootBites”, or whatever, that maybe even were the same as the ones they use for a veggie burger, i wouldn’t even compare them to a meat burger, and would not see them as an alternative to mean. Just a great option, like any other ingredient, but not compared to meat.

    I understand what you’re saying though. I just feel that it is sad to compare veggie products to meat products. They are great for what they are, not for imitating meat

      When I’m in the store looking for a burger, I’m not going to try to decipher what “RootBites” means. I’m going to buy the package that says “plant based burger alternative”. That’s why they market it that way. They’re marketing it to people like me.

        I understand this. What i am trying to explain is, that I wish they marketed it to people like me too 🤷‍♂️

          They do. There are plenty of vegan foods and snacks that aren’t marketed as meat alternatives.
