If you are vegan and so against eating meat, why do you want your food to seem like meat?!
I am not being rude, really, it is just something that I have wondered!. You know veggie burgers, tofu turkey, meatloaf made from ground nuts!. If the idea of eating meat is a turn off, for health or religious reasons, why isn't eating something that appears to meat not a turn off!. Please no rude answers, I respect vegans , I am just wondering!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You're assuming that vegans and vegetarians dislike the taste and texture of meat!.
The reality is that most (possibly all) don't eat meat because it involves the death of the creature providing the meat!. If I have a beefburger, then a cow has lost its life; if I have a Quorn beefburger, then a cow lives on!. I don't see why something needs to die for me to live, when there are alternatives!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Have you ever had plain meat, no seasoning, oil, or anything else involved in it's preparation!? Probably not, but if so, did you like the taste!?
Veggie burgers & such don't taste like meat!. They taste how we typically flavor our meats!. (And, in the case of veggie burgers specifically, there are a lot that don't even taste remotely like cow burgers!. It's just the shape & everything that makes them a "burger"!.) Most veg'ans aren't raised that way, but make the choice later in life, so there are certain tastes that we've become accustomed to by that time!. We, especially when first becoming veg'an, seek out things that we are used to!. It's human nature!. Most veg'ans expand their food horizons significantly after just a little while eating veg'an, because they discover all the other foods they had been missing out on!. :) And, of course, like others have said, it's usually not about the taste, but the ridiculous & unnecessary cruelty involved!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Many vegans and vegetarians don't eat meat for ethical, environmental and even religious or spiritual reasons!. It's not that we dislike the taste of meat it's just that we are against supporting the meat industry, animal cruelty and death!. I don't think there's any thing hypocritical about eating faux meat, it's just texturised veggies that happens to resemble meat!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
its just shaped food!. what animal do you know of that looks like a sausage!? or a burger!? none!. its shaped meat!. its the same with a veggie burger!. its shaped veg!. simple isnt it!? and if some food manufacturer makes a turkey burger!? well i personally dont buy it!. i dont ever use anything that isnt what it says it is!. so tofu turkey isnt for me!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
There is a difference between being against the consumption of meat and not liking the taste of meat!. It is common sense, some of us like the taste if meats, just not the things animals go through so we can have it!. That's why some of us (including me) like fake meats every once in a while!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Well, I don't eat fake meat very often, but when I do, it tastes nothing like meat!. So, the taste is a lot more standable!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
becuase we know that we are not eating dead animals!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
well when you're at a bbq or a weinie roast what else are we supposed to eat but veggie dogs and patties
