Why are so many of you SO against veggie-based meat substitutes?

They're getting really good at this shit now. Have you tried beyond meat burgers? Flippin beefy!
But even beyond that, i've seen people get [u][u][i]mad[/i][/u][/u] about the idea of a hypothetical meat substitute that tastes just as good.

Why [i]wouldn't[/i] you want to eat something that didn't mean taking an animal's life if it was just as god or even nearly as good as the real thing?
