Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don’t come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don’t really get upset by it IRL

    They don’t realise how much soya is used as a filler in meat products I bet.

      First off ground beef, a steak, a whole chicken is not going to have soy filler.

      Second most soy found in the process foods is soy lecithin. I don’t know why but I am not allergic to that.

      I am very aware of how much soy is used as a filler because I have to avoid it.
