There 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?

Consider it an interesting processed food product along the lines of ham and tofu, rather than sadder meat.
