Plants can taste great without using mad science to change them to taste similar to animals. Vegan eggplant India curry comes to mind, so good.

  This is McDonald's we're talking about. They are very much more concerned with mad science than taste. They're concerned with keeping costs low and their food easy to transport, store and cook (or reheat).

  While true, those of us who liked the taste and texture of meat but became vegetarian for other reasons really appreciate how hard companies are trying to imitate meat with plants.

  Non vegan. I agree with this. I eat specifically to get strong in the gym. A bit of a sticking point with me and my partner is I refused to go eat at a cafe with my partners sister/husband for brunch as it was a vegan cafe. My reasoning was it was junk food, heavily processed food made to taste like meat. Nutritionaly there was nothing on the menu that suited my macros as I was training for a competition on a strict diet. I did explain I'd happily eat somewhere that served real, whole food that was vegan, the issue wasn't about it being a vegan cafe, the issue was the food was nutritionally junk. Whole based plant foods can be extremely tasty, healthy and simple. I quite happily eat these types of vegan meals. I actively avoid beyond meat burgers but will quite happily eat lentil burgers. Still on the topic of McDonalds, people want beyond meat style burgers so it's good they are providing them as an option.
