That “except” is huge. Go to the one minute mark, in the link below, and sense the visceral component of an otherwise antiquated car.

You are talking to automobile enthusiasts on an enthusiast forum. Again … I’m puzzled why a non car guy entered the discussion.

Except for beef lovers …tofu burgers offer superior nutritional and ecological benefits than beef patties do.
