They always struck me as a weird niche, as vegetarian food for non-vegetarians.
Most vegetarians I know don't touch "fake meat" because the appearance of it being "real" is enough to put them off of it, the value prop is actually a negative to that market, so you're left with an addressable market of trying to convince non-vegetarians that the ultra processed tofu and/or fungus patty that looks like a hamburger is as good as a hamburger, and as accomodating as I can be, it's just not.
- vlod 1y ago> because the appearance of it being "real" is enough to put them off Exactly the reason for me. I will go out of my way not to eat these 'lets-try-really-hard-to-be-meat' burgers. That means standard veggies burgers (the ones that most people complain about, which I have no problem with) and even salads if need be. After a while (long while) being vegetarian becomes psychological and the mere thought of consuming meat turns my stomach.
