I've scaled back my meat consumption radically in the last six years or so and in my experience, taste is just a factor of habit. Change your habits and you can change what you perceive to be delicious.
Anecdotally, eating meat infrequently has resulted in me finding chicken and turkey generally flavorless and gross when I'm in a position where I must eat them. And while the smell of a burger cooking somewhere is still nice, the smell of bacon being cooked in our building has gone from sublime to rank.
When I do eat meat that I find tasty (burger, steak, kebabs) I've slowly come to appreciate that less is best, and more can turn my stomach. A thin patty ala Shake Shack is vastly preferable to an $18, 3-inch tall burger at a hip restaurant.
I haven't yet come around to vegan cheese. But based on other changes I can't rule that out.
- LeanderK 10y agoi think if you want to change your eating behaviour, you also have to change your habits. It just doesn't work otherwise. But you can't change all habits. There is a pub with cheap burgers and cheap bear near my university and not going there isn't really an option. Of course that means the smell is there and my friends are eating unhealthy, juicy burgers, but on the other side i enjoy drinking beer and talking to friends.
- rboyd 10y agoI'm with you on the cheese. I've only found one vegan cheese that I like, it's Follow Your Heart Provolone. If you haven't tried it yet, give it a shot! Great replacement on pizza, burgers.
