    I don’t get that about vegan people, you chose not to eat meat, then why do you want to eat food that resembles and/or tastes like real meat ? Just eat vegetables like they are and if you want to eat something resembling meat, just eat meat.

      Not a vegan here, but why do you prefer your pig to be the shape of a cucumber, add spices and change its consistence by heating it? Just eat the pig like it is 🐖

      Vegans don’t usually want the taste of meat. It’s just marketed like that, and that’s what we see in the supermarket. I’d be fine if it just said ‘tofu chunks’ or whatever.

      The similarity to the so called meat is by shape and seasoning.

      The main and most important benefit is that it makes it easier for people to stop eating animal products.

        also things like morningstar farms (patties, nuggets, crumblers, etc) are quick and easy for families to prepare a meal and are, often, pretty cost effective.

        also morningstar farms chicken nuggets and annies mac and cheese is a quick lunch for a child that they’ll actually eat and is vegan/veggie.

      Yes many other people pretend not to understand this obvious phenomenon even after hearing it explained 72 times. You’re not special.

      i think veggie burgers and meat alternatives (beyond, w/e) are a good gateway for people getting into vegetarianism/veganism to eat something they’re “familiar with”.

      Because people would still happily eat meat if it didn’t cause animals suffering?

      Most of the time people that want to go vegan choose to try it that way. It makes it quite a lot easier as you don’t have to change your whole mindset from one day to the other.

      You are also generalizing quite a lot. Think about that, it is not nice.
