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!

    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?
