They try to make it appeling so people do not stray!. It intices others to eat healhier by thinking they are still eating greasy and fatty foods!.So they trick your mind!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

People choose to become vegetarians not because they don't like meat - they choose to do it for moral (cruelty to animals) or health (eating less sat fat and cholesterol) reason, and usually a combination of the two!.

Certain foods like hamburgers and hot dogs have a specific shape to make them 1) easy to cook evenly and 2) easy to handle!. So the replication of shape is mainly due to convenience!. If someone made a fake meat patty that was triangle shaped, it wouldn't fit a normal bun and they would have to make special buns!. So it is just easier to make these things the shape of common non-veg foods!.

After not eating meat for a number of years, many people do lose their taste for meat, but that isn't the reason they stopped eating it in the first place!.

People who just don't eat meat because they don't like the taste aren't necessarily vegetarians unless they have made a conscious decision to do so - they are just picky eaters!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

One reason is to help the people making the transition to vegetarianism!. It can help to satisfy their craving for meat!. It's easier to prepare foods when you're basically cooking the way you're used to and just making one substitution, until they are used to cooking vegetarian foods!. In some social situations like barbeques you can throw some veggie burgers on the grill and it's easy for everyone!. Some of them taste pretty good!. But they are completely unnecessary really!. I hardly ever eat imitation meats!. And you're wrong about all of us wanting meat in our diets!. :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

I've never understood this either!. Why would a vegetarian that has sworn off meat for whatever reason then want to eat simulated meat dishes!? Especially fundamentally meat products like burgers and hot dogs!?

I think those kinds of things are most often eaten by people that are vegetarians to be vegetarians!. They lack the real conviction to be it, but want to be for other reasons!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well burgers are really sandwiches in a different bun!. Vegetarian patties taste completely different from meat patties!. I used to eat vege burgers before I became a vegetarian just because I liked the taste so much!.

I suppose people copy meat based foods, as it is what they grew up with and know how to make!. If they still wanted meat in there diet they wouldn't be vegetarians!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

We don't copy them the manufactures do!. Big difference!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why do vegetarians eat them!? Well, there is no one sole reason!. Some eat them because they are great sources of protein!. Some eat them because they are easy to cook!. And others eat them just simply because they like the taste!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well, you think wrong then I guess!. First of all, it's the companies selling the products that mimic their products after meat products!. Second, there's no animal suffering involved, which is the whole point!. Third, they only make buns in certain shapes!

You're obviously trolling!. Simple fun for simple minds!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Because they like the taste, but not what it does to them, the Earth or to the animals!.

Many new Western vegetarians and vegan buy alternative meats and cheeses because it's what they're used to!. Most cultures don't have food like that, so don't use replacements!.

After a while, it tends to phase out!. :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

thats a stupid questionn, its just a different type of food!. your saying that the reason we eat vege-burgers is because we're secretly dying to eat meat!? nooo thats why we make the choice to eat the VEGE-burger, you know, the one NOT made out of animal fleshWww@FoodAQ@Com

Because they like the taste, not the killing!.
Simple as that!.
I have cut out most fake meats from my diet I mainly eat it at Thanksgiving and Christmas (Or other family gatherings) I eat Tofurky because its tradition!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Not all vegetarians and vegans eat that stuff!. And a lot of meat eaters eat that stuff!. If vegetarians wanted to eat meat that badly then they would!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Fake meats are often healthier also cruelty free!. Just 'cause
someone doesn't eat meat doesn't mean they aren't allowed
to like the taste!. But to them the taste isn't worth the cruelty!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You are completely ignorant and illiterate!. Consider locking yourself in a closet for the rest of your life!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No!.

You could satisfy the taste without the cruelty that comes with eating meat!. I don't see anything wrong with it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Because Hot Dogs and Burgers come from animals who are vegetarians - that's why!Www@FoodAQ@Com

We were discussing this on another board!.!.interested to see answers!Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's called "getting the best of both worlds!." Do you think we just eat twigs and bark!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
