Rules:

1. BE KIND

Food should bring people together, not tear them apart. Think of the human on the other side of the screen, and don't troll, harass, engage in bigotry, or otherwise make others uncomfortable with your words.

2. NO ADVERTISING

This community is for sharing pictures of awesome food, not a platform to advertise.

3. NO MEMES

4. PICTURES SHOULD BE OF FOOD

Preferably good, high quality pictures of good looking grub; for pictures of terrible food, see [email protected]

I tell meat eaters and vegetarians the same thing about this.

"Do not compare this to the best meat hamburger you ever had. Instead pretend its a completely new food that you've never tried."

Treat it like a protein option and stop trying to force it to be just like something else. It is very similar to meat in many ways, but it isn't meat. I don't consume much advertising so I don't know if the companies are selling it and saying that it's indistinguishable.

It's not "fake", it just isn't "meat".
