This is your opinion…I respect that. In a vegan world I wouldn’t call it chicken either…but to gives an idea what it looks and tastes like and to get the attention, it makes it easier to call it that way. I don’t need the texture of meat or any substitute… I also don’t do seitan…it’s pure poison for our gut… But there are people who are vegan cause of ethical reasons and so they miss meat and „need“ substitutes. So I tried this Chickie-Salad from oyster mushrooms. And it’s soooo soooo delicious. No need to break a heart 💔💚

I was happily cooking veggies for years cause that was the way to be plant-based. With actual plants. and once the whole substitute topic arrived I have realized that I‘ll rather buy expensive ass animal products from local farmers that participate in the greenwashing of industrial sludge

I totally get you. I also believe in living as naturally as possible and eating real food! After being vegetarian almost my whole life and then vegan for now 12 years, 7 months ago I embarked on a raw-vegan journey. As this is even more natural then eating cooked food. I could never eat an animal or its derivates...That is the difference of being vegan and being plant based 🌱
