I really don’t get it. If meat is so bad, why would vegetarians want stuff that looked and tried to taste like meat?
Humans evolved to eat meat, but eating meat daily at the scale of 8 billion humans is destroying ecosystems and one of the worst contributors to carbon emissions.
Humans evolved to be smart, and have created more sustainable alternatives. This isn’t a black or white issue, you can use meat alternatives just sometimes, rather than all the time, and still make a difference
Side note, I love meat, and I highly recommend you try an Impossible burger. Cook it on a cast iron skillet exactly as the directions say, and I think you’ll be surprised how much better it is than other options
I’m ok with the idea of eating less meat, I just don’t like the idea of fake meat. I haven’t tried the impossible burger, it seems like an incredibly highly processed food. If I’m going to have a meal without meat, then it will be a meal without meat, rather that some frankenfood pretending to be meat.
There have been many times in the past when science claimed to create a new miracle food that was supposed to be so much better than the more natural alternative. I still remember when my mom got some margarine, because butter was deemed to be a food that would kill us all and margarine was the “good for you” alternative. She tried to melt it and couldn’t… not in the oven, not in boiling water. Fast-forward and that early margarine was really high in trans fats, which are now being banned all over the place.
Can you tell me your preferred brand of cola, or laundry detergent, or car, or laptop, or fucking whatever so I can copypasta your message back at you.

People who think going vegan means eating sad tofu all day havn’t been paying attention for the past 10 years
