    I’ve never understood faux meat. I’m a vegetarian because I don’t like meat, so why would I want to eat fake meat? I guess it’s useful for moral vegetarians, but every time I’ve tried fake meat, it’s always reaffirmed why I’m a vegetarian.

    Tom, you answer your own question. I’m a veggie for ethical reasons — animal suffering is bad, life is better than death, etc. — but I still like the taste and feel of animal flesh…although I admit that I’ve had fake chicken that tastes so much like the real thing (it’s been 30 yrs, so I’m not much of a judge at this point) that I find it a tad disgusting. My ethics have reformed my aesthetics, I guess.
