If you want to eat a vegetable patty, why does it have to be a fake meat burger? Why can't you enjoy a falafel? More to the point, if you want to stop eating meat, why do you have to eat pretend-meat? If you're cutting out a major food group from your diet you're already making a huge commitment in time and effort to eat in a certain way while not missing out on nutrients (so no excuses about how it's simpler to eat fake meat). So why not spend this time and effort to learn to cook tasty, delicious foods, without meat? Why not spend this time and effort to learn to cook the many traditional dishes of the many world cuisines that are majority vegetarian or vegan, that teem with dishes that are absolutely heavenly, without any animal products in them? Learn to cook Indian, or Mediterranean, or African, or Thai. Learn to cook with olive oil instead of butter, learn to cook succulent, decadent aubergine casseroles and succulent legume dishes. Learn to cook! And don't leave your nutrition to the same old actors in the same old food industry that is destroying the environment and abusing animals with industrial beef (and pig, and chicken) production. Remember that the biggest investors in meat substitutes are... giant meat and dairy conglomerates.
