          Of course there is no such thing as a vegan causing 0 impact… Being vegan is about causing the least harm practicable. It's very clear by research that eating a vegan diet is the best way cause the least harm practicable whilst being able to maintain a healthy diet.

          I find it annoying how people are so quick to try and attack a vegans diet by the old 'you're murdering plants' or 'what about avocados' etc when at the end of the day, the person trying to attack them is causing significantly more harm to the animals and environment.

          How about everyone in this comments section attacking vegans (almost everyone) stop having a go at vegans and either a) do some research and educate yourself before making absurd comments, or b) mind your own business and either like the deal or just move on

            How about vegans stop advertising this crap as meat, just call them extruded hydrolysed soy protein rolls, then you wouldn't cop it so bad.

            It's very clear by research that eating a vegan diet is the best way cause the least harm practicable whilst being able to maintain a healthy diet.

        Cause they seem to have an attachment to being a meat-eater and have no concept of other people existing with other preferences.

        Similar how some people think pineapples cannot go on pizza…. care waaaay too much about what other people eat.

          Not personally; it's because the packaging is often misleading.
          the 'not' or the 'free from' labeling is often miniscule compared to the "CHICKEN NUGGETS!" labeling.

          And as a legally blind fella, it's annoying to have to ask someone to read the box for me, because they look at you like an idiot because the 'CHICKEN NUGGETS' part is so big, and you're clearly walking and shopping by yourself.

          It's also the only product I know thats allowed to advertise by what its NOT, not what it IS.

            @MasterScythe: but what is the big deal tho, if you make the mistake just pick another brand next time..

            i think it's not any different from buying from a brand and it sucks. obviously the most natural thing you do is to not buy that brand again.

            plus, chances are vego food will be sold in a vego section, or at least will be labelled in a way for vegos to identify that it's a vego food.

              When you live with an invisible disability, anything that makes you look like an idiot when you're not, is very painful.

              If it was a neccesity, thats something you just live with.
              When it's a company using scummy tactics to try and scab that one extra sale from someone who thought they were buying something they weren't, I'm not happy with that.

                @MasterScythe: These product names start with "plant-based" and "meat-free" though. It's not that confusing is it?

                • MasterScythe on 08/11/2023 - 20:54

                  @chromium: Not all are that clear, it's a general objection, not a specific one to this product.
                  For example, the OCR of most text to speech systems can't read the "I'm free from" labeling on Coles products.
                  Lots of times the 'meat free' labeling is on a seperate part of the label.
                  Or it's heavily stylized so OCR just doesn't work.

                  I just don't understand why good food, can't have good names.

                  Nobody invented 'soup' and called it 'not solid, solids'. They made a new word to describe their culinary invention.
                  If someone has invented something that's worth being on a menu, a name won't hinder its success.

                  I mean, even something less specific would (ironically) be clearer;
                  'White-meat Plant Mince', 'Dark Meat Plant Mince' etc.
                  Not that it's IDEAL, because it's still something it's not, but you can't actually just go to Coles and buy a packet of 'White Meat' so it's less confusing at a product level, and still lets the purchaser know what it's imitating.

                idk about this meat free chicken, but when i worked at Pappa Rich we had mock mutton. istg it tastes better than actual mutton itself. i also had meat-free burger before, and look it's not beef i aint gonna lie but it's delicious. not that i would order it again but i enjoyed the experience.

            Agree with this, something the UK is also looking into.

            If you call something "chicken nuggets" it should be chicken. If you call something chicken-style nuggets or chik'n nuggets, it alleviates confusion and still allows it to relate to an existing food.

            Also adding on to this response:

            yes i understand, but even if you accidentally buy meat-free stuff, it's not the end of the world right?

            The same can be said if a vegan accidentally buys meat. They don't have to eat it, but it's a waste of money, time and resources.

        Having 'no issue' about something implies you're being specific toward that detail of a topic, having 'no issues' tends to imply you've got no complaints about/surrounding a topic as a whole.

    Why don't they just sell actual veg sushi? Why do they need to pretend to be meat? Why do vegans want to eat food that tastes like meat?

      They already have veg options. This is just extra options.

      Sushi Hub actually has the most vege options I've seen out of any chain and I'm not including these new options. I don't think it tastes like meat, but the texture is pretty interesting.

      Beats me. I eat sushi to avoid eating wheat. So this kind of defeats the purpose for my use case.

      Maybe to attract meat lovers/eaters to try these food. Also maybe certain vegans/vegetarians were used to be meat lovers/eaters and like the taste of certain meat based food.

      I don't think these are aimed at vegans seeing as one of them has egg mayo. No idea who that one is aimed at.

      Also some vegans like the taste of meat without the murder I guess

      Why do you care so much? Eat what you want, let them eat what they want

      • Meeb on 08/11/2023 - 21:40

        Pretty much the answer to most of the comments here. Let people eat what they want and stop being toddlers about it.

    "healthy". Somehow I doubt this fake meat is healthier than the normal meat…. Given that it's super processed and never is…
