I don't understand the obsession with recreating meat from people who seem to make a lifestyle out of disliking meat.
If vegetables are your thing, why not eat vegetables in vegetable form?
The imitation stuff is always terrible. Vegetables are great when you don't mess with them.
- loktarogar 4y agoVegans can be vegan for many reasons, including moral and having issues digesting actual meat. They can still like the experience of meat but won't have real meat.
- krsrhe 4y agoWe love meat, but we hate torturing animals.
- ok_dad 4y agoMost of these are to try and reduce the amount of meat people eat by making similar tastes and textures. Vegans usually don’t want meat flavored or textured stuff.

- akomtu 4y agoI guess there isnt much money in the vegan market, so this false advertising is trying to appease meat-eaters.
- paranoidrobot 4y agoThere are some people who like the taste and texture of meat, but dislike the impacts of the commercial meat industry. Those people might choose to use a meat-substitute, if it was reasonably similar in taste/texture/resulting product, and had less harmful impacts on the world.

- jhanschoo 4y agoThere are a great variety of omnivorous cuisines and dishes that taste great. Meat substitutes can go a long way in adapting these dishes minimizing effort and the risk of a dish turning out really bad. > If vegetables are your thing, why not eat vegetables in vegetable form? > The imitation stuff is always terrible. Vegetables are great when you don't mess with them. The same thing can be posed to omnivores too, and you'll see that your argument is not very convincing. Meat is great when cooked unspiced, why dope it with other flavors, spices, and gravies? Why process it to alter its texture and taste? As a flexitarian, I've come to like the taste of imitation meat, even as I have difficulty tolerating the taste of most meats most of the time. Consider it an interesting processed food product along the lines of ham and tofu, rather than sadder meat.
