Vegan meat substitutes are morally wrong. It is like providing a serial killer with synthetic victims instead of just quitting murder altogether.
End this culture of meat necessity!

It just sort of squicks me out. If meat is animal murder, faux meat is.. performative animal murder? Like, it's not even animal flesh. Just 'pretend' animal flesh, to help them to get to eat vegetables for once.
If it really helps create vegans though, it may be a necessary evil.
Is plant milk "performative animal cruelty" to you as well? That's an interesting outlook, and I get feeling uneasy when eating something that seems so close to the meat or animal derivative you've grown to find disgusting, but that doesn't make them equal.
The concept of lab grown meat disgusts me as well, but if it doesn't actually involve the harm of any sentient being I can acknowledge there's nothing wrong with it.
