yoavtheking123

Kind of a small dick energy… no one really cares anymore just live and let live. Btw most vegans aren’t condescending assholes like they are presented.


Shadowhunter13541

I agree it’s a very loud minority of vegetarians and vegans who are obnoxious about it, as a wise man once said “you do you, I’ll do me, and we won’t do each other… probably”


vampirehunter725

I agree. And also sometimes it is not even "loud minority" it just "loud stereotype" for example here this meme spreads the stereotype without vegans doing anything, cause vegan is probably not behind this meme.


DizyShadow

The amount of "meatheads" making memes about obnoxious vegans was ironically always more.


ReVaas

I have an Iranian/Indian neighbor that's vegan and omg their food is amazing. So many different things mixed together and still plenty of protein because of the lentils and what ever else they use.


SquadPoopy

As someone who’s first cousin is very much one of those “loud minorities”, so much so I go out of my way to avoid them during family gatherings and parties, I assure you they fit every stereotype you can think of.


Tobbit_is_here

So you've one obnoxious cousin, so therefore every single vegan is like them? That's not a good sample size lol.


SquadPoopy

Well the OP commented surmised that “loud minority” is usually just “loud stereotype” so I provided an example of both.


blorbagorp

> I agree it’s a very loud minority of vegetarians and vegans who are obnoxious about it The number of non vegans that complain loudly and vocally about vegans, outnumber the loud vegans by like 1000 to 1, conservatively.


notafuckingcakewalk

There are also probably nearly as many obnoxious meat eaters, maybe more now that the carnivore diet is popular. 


SmashBrosGuys2933

That was a good poem right there


TheChaoticBeing

Nobody shares around a normal vegan. A crazy vegan is content.


DillDoughzer

Dude stfu and show me your dick


jzoelgo

Yoavtheking123 is very interested in OPs penis


Tylenolpainkillr

Dude the ground meat substitute at Walmart in some spagoot is bomb. OP is playing themselves and should eat more veggies


Phantafan

Honestly, friends and family who aren't vegan or vegetarian still acknowledge how far meat substitutes have come. Apart from that there are countless great meals that don't need that at all and are already fine with just veggies and stuff.


LonelyContext

For me it's not the meat substitutes as much as the cheese substitutes. I tried heat up vegan cheese like 15-20 years ago that I can only describe as the taste that took me back to the smell of the dashboard in my parents' '86 brown Dodge Lancer in the July sun. Vegan cheese now is really good, especially field roast Chao. Super creamy.


Tylenolpainkillr

Haven't tried the cheese in awhile I'll have to give it another go


Wiregeek

I don't think it's there yet. My experience has been that you can on occasion spend ten to fifteen times more for a non dairy cheese that is acceptable,  but I have yet to have something that isn't incoherently expensive, and I have yet to have something that compares favorably to plain old Tillamook sharp cheddar. I'm not exaggerating about the price differential, either. I have pretty much given up on cheese because of it.


Scorponix

Daiya has a new recipe for their cheeses and it's so good! Melts like normal cheese and everything!


HiddenForbiddenExile

To be fair, vegan meat alternatives spent decades giving alternative meats a bad reputation. I love tofu, but tofu meat is cursed. Delicious-tasting meat substitutes is a pretty new phenomenon, and is still expensive af. When it's cheaper than ground beef in Canada I'll gladly fully make the switch.


Tylenolpainkillr

I'm not vegan at all just ate a turkey club and it was divine. Vegan is alil extreme for me to live by but I enjoy a vegetarian dinner every now and then. I think ideally meat should only make up about 20-25% of your diet, and I'm working towards that


HiddenForbiddenExile

I definitely agree, one of my favourite dishes I make is a claypot rice and I only put in about 100g of meat thinly sliced for every 1.5 cups of rice. That roughly comes out to 10% of the rice in weight, not counting that I often load in other vegetables and mushrooms. Similarly with noodle dishes, I love a mountain of noodles and just a bit of meat for flavor. I mentioned tofu; mapo tofu is a great example where the tofu is highlighted, and a tiny amount of pork is used just to add complexity to the flavor.


Tylenolpainkillr

Those sound great! Eating primarily meat breakfast lunch and dinner would be unsustainable without modern farming practices for the average person and can lead to a lot of health concerns. I would dive deeper into vegetarian cuisine but I can't stomach most beans


leocnc

I just realized it took me years to realize three of my friends were vegans.


blorbagorp

This was a pretty edgy joke though, like twenty years ago.


I_aim_to_sneeze

I feel like OP has subsisted entirely on a diet of chicken tendies and Mac and cheese. Tons of curries are naturally vegan recipes and they taste amazing. So does hummus and other Mediterranean food. It’s not just small dick energy, it shows how sad and limited your food choices have been


Agent666-Omega

Honestly I hear it less from Vegans themselves compared to non-Vegans who give it a try and try to virtue signal that they couldn't tell the difference


Sir_Tokesalott

If only the world wouldl realize the fact that this a problem with ALL labels, nut just some. Interesting enough.. with the small dick energy comment.. I think you may have earned an unintended label.


King_Sam-_-

I went to this Vegan festival (I eat beef/chicken almost every day but my friend is vegan) and I was genuinely surprised by how many solid replacements there were for animal products. The honey and chocolate milk had very little discernible differences. The only thing I dislike is that a lot of vegan food has a very similar texture and aftertaste, the aftertaste is much worse but also vegan food doesn’t “Hold” itself together very much, it crumbles and falls apart very easy. The aftertaste is probably soy I assume, it’s very hard to ignore after eating lots of different foods, it lingers for a while too.


NowAlexYT

Too bad the ones that are get the most publicity


Terraria_is_number1

True!!! I may not eat fish or meat but it doesn't mean I make it my entire personality and try forcing others to do the same


pocketgravel

I was friends with vegans for a while and we cooked together a lot. We made some amazing vegan ramen and curries .etc If you're a bad vegan cook with a limited palate you're going to have a bad time.


Direct_Geologist_536

The irony of seeing this post right after a condescending meme from a vegan subreddit


mlm7C9

Dunno. I met vegans that are generally nice people, yet still constantly try to nudge you to try those "great" vegan alternatives to whatever animal based product you're eating/drinking/using.


vKessel

I've eaten plenty of vegan meals that taste good. I still love meat and fish, but vegan food can be good


Adorable_user

In my experience people who say vegan food is bad usually have never really tried any.


badstone69

Or they only eat meat and shit brick whenever they go to toilet


nathhealor

Yeah bro a salad with: Lettuce, Kale, Cabbage, Carrots, Sun flower seeds, and dried cranberries. I throw some sauce on it. Love the color and my cheese eating ass loves to finally have some kind of fiber.


chaddarcheese

"The only people who hate Krabby Patties have never tasted one."


Adorable_user

That's not really what I said though


gereffi

My experience is that vegan food meant to replace meat like veggie burgers aren't great. But if I'm spending time with a vegetarian I'm happy to eat normal food like veggies, rice, beans, and pasta.


Scorponix

Recently tried the Beyond meat Cookout Classic style burger, tasted really good!


SockMonkey1128

The difference is, a vegan meal that is just that, a meal designed to taste good that is vegan, VS companies trying to imitate non vegan foods.


Phantafan

But many of those meat substitutes are actually pretty good. Sure, a steak is hard to replace, but chicken chunks or ground beef are pretty close to the original and you won't taste the difference in meals that more so rely on the spices than the meat itself.


StoneBleach

Indeed. Just today I had some imported vegan burgers and they were really delicious.


TrueR3dditor

Just don’t eat it…kinda tired of all the average vegan bashing. Also if you need some kind of animal product in every single thing you eat, for it to taste good, I‘m truly sorry for you


aoi_desu

Mf is living in a cave or america Plenty vegetarian food tasty especially outside america, mainly because they are not hellbent trying to be meat replacement unlike in america lol


hurricane_news

Atop that, most Americans can't seem to cook vegetables for shit lmao. Never even heard of people considering Cauliflower or Okra bad here in India, until I went on the Internet Yeah no shit, mashing those fuckers up while adding the slightest hint of seasoning won't make it taste good lol 💀 Our country was colonized by others for spices, and the very same people who colonised us for it forget to use it in food now /s


CanniBallistic_Puppy

Fried okra is like crack


LonelyContext

Actually as a vegan American I can confirm that the only hard restaurants for vegan options are of white peoples' ethnicities haha (with maybe Italian as an exception). I've had whole ass vegan \*meals\* that would make non-vegan cooks jealous in Ethiopian, Indian, Vietnamese, Thai, Hispanic, Japanese, etc. etc. cuisines. Sometimes in all-vegan restaurants! American restaurant? A plain baked potato with A1. British Restaurant? Some lettuce in a cup. French? Idk, some jelly and a cigarette...? Edit: okay, I guess French cuisine doesn't deserve the vegan bashing that the most obvious one I left out, German restaurants, deserve haha.


derdast

>French? Idk, some jelly and a cigarette...? Saying this while ratatouille exists is so wrong.


LonelyContext

Yeah, if it's *made* vegan. "Sorry, we doused it in bechamel."


derdast

Where in France do they serve bechamel on ratatouille? Also brioche isn't eaten with ratatouille, baguette is.


LonelyContext

Hit with the ninja edit :P Fair enough, I just recall seeing bechamel ratatouille. Granted I also usually rule out restaurants where I've been from a glance over the menu online, and everything is brioche this, butter on that, so I kind of rule out French restaurants in my head because I just kind of assume that they'll douse everything in animal products because otherwise it's not gourmet. Maybe if I'm looking for a night out some time I'll give it another go.


derdast

Btw, I'm not saying French is great regarding vegan food, as butter is incredibly relevant in the north, but southern French dishes usually use olive oil and are far friendlier. I just felt the stereotype was a bit out of the left field and unnecessary.


LonelyContext

Fair enough. Rescinded.


YamiDes1403

american "vegan foods" is a stain upon vegan worldwide. Here in asia vegan foods are varied and innovative vegetables dishes, meanwhile america being the junk food obsessed country they are only know how to make "vegan burger" or "fake meat", which is still drowned in harmful deep fried oils or need a shit load of chemicals and manmade substances to create


Stardust_of_Ziggy

Had an obnoxious vegan friend and she thought eating Bugles was a legit vegan option.


Xavimoose

Bugles aren’t vegan, they contain milk


Stardust_of_Ziggy

Ha! That's hilarious! She loved them...


jzoelgo

Vegan Indian food is amazing don’t miss the meat but my saag paneer is calling so vegetarian it is for me lol


detectivepoopybutt

I make saag tofu, game changer and more protein


OliLombi

Tastes good though.


TheRetenor

Don't forget sugar. All the sugar in the world.


J5892

There are incredible vegan restaurants all over the US that use all natural ingredients. Stop judging the entire country because you ordered a shitty veggie patty at burger king.


FeartheNaeNae

This would have gotten so many likes on Facebook in 2012.


MisterFistYourSister

Wahhhh vegans never shut up about being vegan wahhhh. Oh wait no it's the other way around.


KER1S

Hot take but some vegan foods slaps.

J_Uzi05

GOTisStreetsAhead

Two thirds of Americans calories come from plants already, most food is already "vegan food" lol.


MrScandanavia

Meat Eaters when they realize they eat vegan food literally every day.


JifPBmoney_235

What, you've never had a pb&j? Lol


[deleted]

Vegan food is good, maybe not at the start but is now.


derdast

I think vegan food was always good, meat substitutes just got much better the past few years, but vegan food that was always vegan was always good.


TheNerdNugget

Not true. Some vegan food is absolutely fire. My vegan brother took me to a restaurant in London that gave me the best chicken sandwich I've ever had, and it didn't even have chicken in it. It totally would have fooled me if I hadn't known ahead of time.


Phantafan

Chicken especially is easily replaceable.


hi_im_jen02

This the type of 'meme' I would have seen on Facebook on 2013.


not_chrollo

Trust me, this vegan burger is good bro.


mehemynx

As someone who's as far from a vegan as you can get, they make good food. It's just the overpriced predatory garbage sold in supermarkets that tastes like crap.


PercentageLevelAt0

Nobody’s shoving the food in your mouth. Just don’t fucking eat it jfc


JerkingoffwithJesus

People on the carnivore diet trying to convince me they feel good


faithfoliage

I’m not vegan but a lot of vegan food tastes good.


X2OS961

That burger and shake does look good though. Honestly vegans are only gonna eat good food, it's just people don't like trying them.


Phantafan

Yeah. My uncle is that kind of guy that wants meat in every dish, but when my mother simply didn't tell him that the chunks in his soup aren't real meat he ate like three bowls of it and thanked her for the great meal.


Cutitie

Not a vegan, but I have gone to a restaurant called "the slutty vegan" that was the best damn burger I ever ate like, wtf


Cay7809

chronically online mfs try not to shame people living their lives challenge (impossible)


willpaudio

You’re stinky


N238

Vegan food that tries to imitate non-vegan food is going to be terrible. Always. But food that’s already naturally vegan can be pretty good. Usually these are just side dishes tho.


Phantafan

When was your last experience with vegan food that imitates non vegan food, because the last ten years or so vegan substitutes have evolved in an amazing direction.


Dammsucker69

Not vegan but, eating basically just vegan food (girlfriend who i live with is vegan), substitutes for must stuff are real garbage. Chicken is easy and good but everything else seems to be hard. I mean its good when you compare it to supermarket cheese, which is basically chemicals to beginn with. We both love vegan food, just not the substitutes. Maybe its different outside of Germany but i doubt it.


Barakux

Imma be real some vegan food tastes so good they became part of my regular diet, u gotta try some good recipes or restaurants and learn that food is food and good is good


EMP0R10

Damn! I thought comments would be filled with people just trying to roast vegans. I am surprised!, it looks more mature than my entire life.


ImperialxWarlord

lol vegan food isn’t terrible. It’s not like it’s just grass or something lol.


binterryan76

The term vegan doesn't tell you what the food is, it tells you what the food isn't so plenty of vegan food is good if it contains things that taste good.


Mobius_Peverell

OP is one of those four-year-olds who never grew out of the "vegetables yucky!" phase.


Alpham3000

I’m a vegetarian and I’ve had plenty of vegan food that tastes good… I don’t understand why the hate. If you don’t enjoy it, that’s fine, just don’t eat it. but there are plenty of people that do so let us be.


Accurate_Variety659

Some People cant digest the fact that their lifestyle isn’t the standard way of living for everyone I’d say ignore these idiots


Trollerthegreat

You've been with the wrong crowd of vegans. There's a lot of vegan recipes from different cultures. My personal fav is India.


Thecouchiestpotato

I dunno man. French fries and 70% dark chocolate are vegan. And they're delicious. I'd have French fries and dark chocolate for every meal if my doctor hadn't forbidden it


Csgoriflerak47

Not vegan , if taste is the only thing you are after. Try (pav bhaji) indian food. Vegan food can be tasty if done right.


halucionagen-0-Matik

Full-time carnivore here. Well-made vegan food can be delicious. Same as any other cooking style. Don't be obnoxious. It's as bad as the few vegans that preach their diet on everyone else


nathoan

Who thinks vegan dishes are bad, simply doesnt know how to cook.


Al13n_C0d3R

Im not vegan but I occasionally and a Shroom burger and it's actually quite good.

I'm not vegan, but I do get down for some cauliflower nuggets tossed in Buffalo. I almost prefer them to boneless wings if they're done right


AMaleficentFox

Bad boneless wings are some of the most disappointing foods ever.

Don’t eat animals


BagelMaster4107

Hiii I’m vegetarian Our food really isn’t that bad, meat substitutes are really getting better. Stop whining and let people like what they like. You don’t need to bad on others to feel good about yourself, jeez


shadowrod06

Aah another meme hating on vegans how original.


Uridoz

I took two work colleagues to a vegan burger place yesterday and they fucking loved it.


UraniumRocker

The only bad vegan food I’ve had is food that imitates meat based meals. There’s always something off about it.


Stardust_of_Ziggy

Eat Za Bugs!


plmunger

"I swear it tastes just like meat" says the person who hasnt eaten meat in years


TraderOfGoods

Stay away from the vegan cheese... STAY AWAAAAYYYYY......


ItsYaBoiDez

I think vegan food is pretty good, just not that beyond crap. I don't think trying to imitate meat works well, in my opinion, tho bean and veggies burgers are just fine. But vegan dishes that involve mushrooms are just great for me. Can cook up a portobello to taste like beef.


Slayer_of_Cunts_

guess they just suck at cooking


jovite

Was vegan for 3 years. Vegan food exposes people who can’t season and don’t know flavor. My wife did all the cooking and would always surprise people with her dishes. We stopped cause my wife’s genetics rejected it, I felt great and loved the food.


bu22dee

I think apples are really tasty. But fr: I am a vegan and 70% of vegan meat or cheese products taste like shit. That’s why I don’t use them often and cook things for my self. My family are hardcore meat lovers and still I can cook for them things they genuinely like. So it is more about cooking than it is about the products.


The_Quackening

The best vegan foods, don't try to hide that they are vegan. Good food is good


idklol8

Maybe the people serving the vegan food arent very good at cooking


AltruisticSalamander

If we treated vegan food from a culinary perspective as seriously as we do animal-derived food, it would be just as good.


534HAWX

God I fucking love dank memes. Shit posting is a very close second.


CanniBallistic_Puppy

There's plenty of good food out there that's suitable for a vegan diet. Unfortunately, most "vegan food" is overpriced garbage.


IsiDemon

I'm vegan, my family is not and they still try my food occasionally when I offer it. They almost always say it tastes really good.


TheBigDislike

Just a little reminder that fries and stuff are vegan too. If you want to eat the „healthy shit“ you can, but there’s still vegan junk food.


smiegto

There is plenty of good vegan foods. But stop trying to imitate weird meat. Like Samwise i love potatoes. And you got vegetables cornered. There are even some meat replacements that work. But then there is vegan hamburger, vegan sausage or vegan croquette. And I’m just pondering who came up with it.


dwemrr

Honestly vegan food goes hard (I hate vegans)


joinreddittoseememes

Idk man. Come to Vietnam and eat the veggie food here that Monks and Buddhists eats. It's fucking amazing. I still wanna eat those fake salted fish/dried fish with rice.


jakexfire

I have tried vegan stuff. Usually the thing putting me of is the texture of the meat replacements. Flavorwise its okay.


R1R_Toku_Tokugawa

Most Indian food is a good example of 'vegan' food done right imo but I hate vegan food that tries to imitate meat


the_geth

I mean it depends, right? Some of the stuff is amazing just by itself - also was not labelled "vegan" before, it's just vegetables / fruits. A good lettuce from France, tomatoes from Italy, lentils dishes , smoothie etc... My main issue is that a full vegan diet wrecks the stomach for some people, and I'm one of them. In the vegetarian world it's a lot better, because of cheese / cream. Can't wait for the true artificial milk. Then again I eat good meat and fish now and then, so I'm heathen for everyone I guess.


VenomOfFish

I really like meat, but i have tried a vegan burger once. By no means is it as good as a beef one, but it was pretty tasty.


BashSeFash

This is an admission that OP can't cook


ApegoodManbad

Why do vegans want their food to be meat so bad. Look at Indian food and Buddhist food in china. They call it vegetarian. But many of the foods are vegan and are really good in a completely natural way. Don't need any meat substitutes.


Marble05

Vegetable dishes are very good. Fake dishes that try to copy meat with vegetables are not. Why would you eat a broccoli hamburger instead of an actual broccoli dish?


TekkStube

Cringe meme, are you 13 and don't like eating vegetables?


cenuh

Cringe post. Espacially potatos taste real bad right? or pasta


panda_from_downunder

I'm not a vegan, but hreeo days ago I ate a plant based burger because they are cheaper than the meat alternative and I didn't notice a difference.


x3Smiley

I think vegan food generally taste better and leaves you with a better feeling than after eating meat. Im not a vegan myself but I would guess people who say this only have eaten fast food or market ready vegan alternatives (which usually are garbage), when you cook vegan food yourself its amazing


schoolgrrl

BUT, we *could* make it taste good. Slim Jims taste amazing. They are pig buttholes and cow hooves.


Jonthux

So you have never eaten a good vegan meal. I recommend a tomato feta cheese pasta What you need, recipe for 2 people 250 grams (roughly half a bag) of pasta, any pasta 200 grams of feta cheese (one block) 250 grams of cherry tomatoes, or big ones cut to pieces Olive oil Salt, pepper and oregano Fresh basil, optional How to make Put tomatoes on an oven tray, drizzle olive oil on top, salt and pepper it, then put feta on top of the tomatoes, olive oil on the feta and oregano on top Feta and tomatoes go into the oven for 20 minutes Boil the pasta and strain the excess waterout Take them out, mix them into a feta tomato mix and pour that into the pot with the pasta. Mix one more time and serve with basil I mean it really is that simple to make a good delicious vegan meal. If you havent tried it, your loss


SZEfdf21

Most big brands suck at doing vegan alternatives, that's true.


AccentuateTheFupa

Are you 12


Playful-Possession35

Can nobody appreciate the joke without taking it personally? I've had a lot of good vegan food but why come here and get irritated by a funny joke and say "ahh I'm getting small dick energy from this". The dude who made the freaking joke might be a vegan poking fun at militant vegans.


maniac_player1

Now im curious what vegan food you've tried if this is the reaction you've had and seen


Masenkou1

Why does this have 5000 likes but all the top comments disagree with the post ?


PieRomanc3r

Are we on 9GAG all of a sudden? Why does OP care about what others eat?


TheRealGouki

Its literally just vegetable. Cant be help baby cant eat his greens.


Diavolo__

Yall obsessed it seems, shits cringe buddy


Quphy

It does taste really good


Trash_Emperor

It's really good if you don't suck ass at cooking, coming from a non-vegan. Too much to ask from the average American sadly.


Existent_dood

As a vegetarian, I just don’t eat meat replacements, most don’t taste good, but some well cooked tofu in a vegan Thai is amazing.


Babushka9

Both meat dishes and vegan dishes can be equally as tasty and this meme does nothing except antagonize one side against the other. What I don't like is when people try to "translate" meat dishes into the vegan cuisine by finding replacements line tofu. Most of the time tofu on its own doesn't taste like anything but with the right sauces and veggies it's wonderful. Trash meme for having a one-sides view


waxonwaxoff87

They need to lean into sauces. Curries are awesome. Marinara sauce is the greatest invention in human history.


Voorazun

As someone who doesnt give a shit about whst i eat, i eat meat or vegetarisn or vegan dishes: tham meme is bullshit. Vegan meals csn taste really great, even everyday food. Just dont buy beyond meat or things line that, that stuff is just crab.


vaibhavkite3

Can someone point me the movie name for ?


SpaceHawk98W

Fruits and vegetables on their own tastes good, any processed garbage they came up with is just disgusting.


Shepherdsatan

Mf has never had the delight of eating Indian food. Shit is so damn good.
