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!

    Perhaps? The lack of examples is sort of my point.

    No other societal maladaptation is treated by massaging it.

      What about when drug abuse is treated by giving the patient drugs? (e.g.: heroin prescription)

      Anyway, fake meat is just plants shaped and transformed differently. There is so synthetic victim. There is no synthetic cow being fake-killed. Vegans only object to the eating part because of the whole producing part. The act of eating has no direct victim.

        Drugs have actual withdrawals, which is a medical issue.

        And the 'fake meat' keeps people thinking about meat. It keeps meat culturally relevant and as something 'legitimate'.

        I want to totally delegitimize meat. It is morally wrong. The very concept is evil.

          What exactly do you mean by fake meat? Is seitan shaped like a cylinder (sausage) bad?

            The meat meant to strictly substitute. Like fake ground beef, etc.

            Fake sausage casing maybe fits under that but I'm not sure if people use that as a replacement for animal parts, tbh, even if they strictly are in a literal sense.

              Ok I think I understand. Stuff like vegan nuggets would be included in that then.

              Why is it that meat gets a monopoly on basic shapes? Why can't you make a vegan product in the form of a disk or a cylinder or strips or a minced rectangle etc. without it being compared to meat?

              Are potato patties fake meat? What makes soy-based burgers different from potato patties?
