There's vegan food, the processed, pale imitations of animal products you'll find in the health food aisle, and there's vegan food: rich, hearty vegetable and bean soup, fresh rustic sourdough bread, and vegetables roasted until they caramelize.

Most people would think these foods boring, but that's because they've only ever had the shitty, mass-produced versions.

> rich, hearty vegetable and bean soup

Add some fried bacon bits and tell me it's not infinitely better for it.

> fresh rustic sourdough bread

Which is great on its own, but much better with some butter and ham.

> vegetables roasted until they caramelize

Which is a great side dish next to a good steak.

Nothing wrong with vegetables, but none of these things are as satisfying as they would be combined with some animal products.
