    I don’t get the point of fake meat. It’s full of artificial stuff.

    If you want to be vegetarian for health reasons, eat a mushroom patty.

    If its religious, you shouldn’t be emulating what you’re not supposed to eat.

      Half of my family eats meat. These meat substitutes are a way to get us all eating the same meal without anyone complaining. If we didn’t have these, then on the nights when someone wants to eat a burger, a sausage, a chili or a pasta dish, they’d be eating meat. So while there are still stubborn meat eaters in the household, these products help reduce our overall meat consumption by providing an easy option everyone will eat.
