I appreciate the B99 reference, but the difference between animal products and the plant based alternatives is small and getting smaller by the day. At the end of the day, it's that difference in enjoyment you get that you are weighing against supporting inhumane practices like the one in this post

Most people eat animal products because they enjoy them more than the available plant-based alternatives.
Sony likes to pretend they're consumer friendly with stuff like this but it always comes with a huge caveat to try to push people into their closed ecosystem. Same idea as releasing PS Studios games on PC, but only just before the PS exclusive sequel comes out.
It's all fucked, from the way we've bred them, to how we treat them while they're alive, to how we kill them. To me, perhaps the worst part is we do it almost exclusively for enjoyment.
Best we can do is sell you a $200 piece of plastic that promises to but doesn't actually do these things, then automate your job away.
That's my usual go-to when I'm camping or at a BBQ and want a regular hotdog. I'm sure some people in this thread will tell me I'm wrong though and suggest I instead cook some beans on the campfire lol.
And even if they were treated well during their lifetime, the way we've bred them to produce enormous quantities of eggs, milk and meat would still result in short, horrific lives. It's atrocious any way you look at it.
Sometimes you just want something that tastes like a hotdog but didn't come from an animal.
Why not? The seasonings are what makes it taste like a hotdog and I'm not eating a hotdog because it's healthy. Let people enjoy things.
