Oddly enough I'm not vegan or vegetarian, but I think vegan burgers are just as good. Literally what I get everytime I go to Burger King 😂. Went on a pescatarian diet for a bit in high school just to try it out but eventually quit it. The way I see it, I genuinely enjoy eating meat. It tastes good, it smells good, it's easy to source and afford (compared to alternatives). If I as an individual could do something to ease the suffering of the animals I would, but it just seems impossible in the world we live in that's driven by profit and self-interest.

Chickens, pigs, bears, and raccoons are omnivores. The very animals we eat (chickens and pigs) do the same to other species lower on the food chain. There's a balance to our ecosystem. Don't get me wrong I think there needs to be great reform in how we consume animal products so that they are treated in a right manner up to their consumption.
