Ironically, my response as an omnivore making the switch to more chicken over beef is “yuck, not meat.” I actually like the vegan (fried) chicken substitutes that are available nowadays as well as stuff like almond cheese that stands on its own. It’ll take a while to get over the internal resistance to the fact that it’s still basically ultra processed meat substitute. I’ve grown tissue culture in a lab and that does not sound even remotely appetizing to me. It doesn’t even qualify in my mind as a whole food, which is the problem with so many of the vegan substitutes
