  I wouldn't be too upset. There are a few traditions of Buddhism that attempt to make plant derived substances approach the texture and taste of a few animal proteins[1, 2]. They do a pretty good job of it.

    And they tend to do a damn good job. There is a brand called May Wah that makes incredible fake meats. I have no issues eating meat, but some times I crave May Wah nuggets.

  I'm not a vegetarian, but if I was one, I would hope to have the good taste not to pretend I am eating meat when I am not. There's a lot to be said for food that's "true to itself", but burgers are really good, perhaps especially to people who have grown up enjoying them and like to continue doing so. That doesn't seem in bad taste to me. India stands out as a country with amazing regional vegetarian cuisines that celebrate their ingredients and don't pretend to be something they are not. In the United States, vegetarians eat fake meat. Pretty baseless assertion. In my experience, most of them don't eat much of it but some like it sometimes.
