I've been vegan for 35 years and the thought of eating a burger that tastes like meat turns my stomache. If you're a meat eater that wants to reduce consumption of animals then do that in the other (healthier) meals and have a decent animal burger once a week/fortnight. If you're eating burgers much more regularly then you're probably better off getting more variation into your diet and than eating highly processed vegetable patties that aren't as satisfying.

I've been vegetarian for 12 years now. I used to dislike replacement products, but what Rügenwalder and Beyond produced in recent years is so good, I now eat some kind of meat replacement every week.

I’m an omnivore who enjoys eating meat. I also really enjoy these plant-based alternatives. I think we should avoid the anecdotal fallacy here.

Hmm.. I'm a vegatarian, once vegan, since let me count.. oh why does that matter at all? Taste like meat? Not at all, likely, don't remember, but I usually find them taste just nice, pea protein with spices, so what's the problem? Also what does thst have to do with how regular? I hope they don't go out of business, being concerned for animals and environment I think every alternative that some people enjoy is great.

I don't think this line of "persuasion" is going to rally many to the cause.

There are millions of vegatarians that like meat like products. See the 100s of products made from things like wheat gluten that Buddhist monks have been eating for 1000s of years I don't know a source on the history of all of it but I've been to several restaurants in Asia that specialize in dishes that taste like they're made with meat but aren't this came up resently tho https://youtu.be/lrrmysxnTdA https://youtu.be/lrrmysxnTdA
