I understand and agree with your frustration, but the "fifteen minutes of pleasure" argument that I hear so often these days can discourage people from going vegan. It risks making them think that going vegan would mean never enjoying good food again. I tasted foie gras in my prevegan days, and it was nothing special. As a vegan, I enjoy food a lot more than I did before going vegan. I eat foods I would never have tried, and I go to restaurants I would never have known existed. I also think that my taste buds are much more sensitive now than before I was vegan. No one should fear that going vegan would mean losing out on the pleasure of eating.
