Because it tastes good. It's not a contradiction to enjoy the taste of an animal, while also believing that the harvesting of that animal is unethical.

  As a non vegetarian, there's only one meat I don't eat for moral reasons, and I wouldn't want to eat anything that pretends to be that meat, regardless of whether I like the taste. Quorn cubes, or Quorn mince I can understand, they're generic. Vegetarian bacon is supposed to be a specific part of a specific animal. And I've never heard anyone argue, vegetarian or otherwise, that vegetarian bacon tastes anything like actual bacon anyway.

    No different than the reason people eat turkey bacon. To have a different option that's the right "shape". Bacon is basically synonymous with crispy rectangle and sometimes dammit I want salty crispy rectangles on my burger.

      Perhaps? I (personally) would disagree. To me bacon isnt generic, its as specific as chicken leg. I can see how that would account for the discrepancy though.
