If there’s one dish where I feel it’s a waste to eat animal meat, it’s hamburgers. Vegetarian alternatives have come a long way and in a burger they’re often the superior option.

There’s a small difference for sure, but the BM patties are far from inferior. And much of the difference is masked by condiments anyway.

At least this is a minority opinion. I rely on the availability of meat products to eat. I cannot process carbs or sugars and they make me incredibly sick even legumes and tubers, whole grains etc. Fruit also. It triggers insane inflammation that I can only hold at bay with benadryl and that's not safe to use habitually.

It's meat, low lactose dairy, fish, eggs, greens for me and when I do break my diet to have a delicious slice of my boyfriend's pepperoni pizza I am disabled for a day or more. I need to be able to work otherwise I wouldn't care if I were bedridden from including carbs and sugars in my diet. I personally don't believe there's anything wrong with eating meat as I was raised along side sheep eating lamb and baby birds. No question about it that any other predator on the planet wouldn't think twice about eating me ass first. I'm OK being part of the food chain.
