Water is a chemical. Salt is a preservative This is fucking stupid.
No animals were harmed except for the ones Impossible tested on.
btw.
When people complain about vegan diets lacking in x, y, or z I always point out that our diets are culturally balanced, as well as being balanced by the addition of vitamins to staple foods. If we all became deficient in say, iron, we would start fortifying iron in our water, flour, salt, rice etc, while at the same time we would culturally move towards eating more black beans and spinach than we currently do. When an individual removes a food group from their diet, it's only reasonable that you will have to intentionally rebalance your diet in other places. This isn't a deficiency inherent in a vegan diet.
If you have to supplement a vitamin or mineral that's just part of your diet, so don't @ me with your natural=good nonsense.

There's actually a lot of plant based meat that are chemical / preservative free, Redefine Meat comes first to mind. As there is a lot of animal meat that is full of chemicals, preservatives, carcinogens, and antibiotics use.
I would only assume most fast food meals, meat ones included, are not chemical / preservative free. That's a western fast food problem, vegan or not.
Lastly, vegan people broadly don't eat plant based meats. Like it get the joke... It's just broadly inaccurate. Meat eaters, people trying to eat less meat, and some vegetarians buy plant based meats.

Literally everything in this sentence is wrong.
My dude... Says who? You? It's not hard to Google - you find lists of them when you do.
"plant-based" is not "meat". Are there "meat-based plants?"
All food is comprised of "chemicals".
Chemical free food? Everything is a chemical. Not hard to google that
Thank you, it drives me nuts when people say shit like "chemical-free". Everything is made out of chemicals, tell me which one otherwise I'll just assume you're uneducated and afraid of things you can't pronounce.
Vegans are great, especially with garlic in a nice butter sauce.
Edit: also you're literally made out of chemicals.
I don't eat a lot of meat, but after hearing arguments like these from vegetarians and vegans, I gave up on not eating meat.
Too expensive to eat vegan and I got really fucking tired of being called fucking stupid for buying meat free alternatives. It's not worth the effort in the end.
How many people called you stupid for buying meat free alternatives? I largely do not eat meat and I can count on one hand the number of times it has been mentioned in the past decade. It's also only comparatively expensive because meat is so subsidized.
I mostly do not eat meat because it is fucking terrible for the environment.
vegan food isn't expensive. artificial meat replacements are expensive, because you're paying someone to chemically torture plants until they vaguely remind you of animals. lentils, beans, and other awesome-tasting protein sources are dirt cheap. vegan-first dishes are great and really cheap.
See, it's arrogant, and stupid shit like this that makes me wanna go get a burger just to spite ya.
"Oh fucking no!! I am torturing plants and shit blah blah blah"
No fucking wonder.

You dodged a bullet, the average vegan eventually goes back to me when their body starts crapping out on them to do lack of protein

I would kill myself if I had to eat Indian food regularly. Perfumed slop. Indian "cuisine" is by far the worst in the world.
Yeah I don't get the whole "replace meat with a vegan steak" idea. Just prepare a delicious Dahl, the recipe of which has been around for hundreds of years!
I mean have you all seen the videos in tiktok about the zero hygiene they have in the street food places while preparing the food, oh my...
