To me this sounds like an analogy for fake meat. I don’t care what anyone tells me. Fake meat, including impossible burger and whatever new, hyped up product they come up with taste like garbage. None of it will ever be as good as a real steak. I never want to try another vegan chicken wing again. Some inherently meatless foods are delicious though.

Maybe an electric weed whacker will never compare to a petrol one, but maybe the issue is that the typical suburban manicured lawn is an artifact of the petrol era, and we shouldn’t try to fake it with electric lawn mowers and weed whackers.
