I can't WAIT until meat-substitutes become the norm rather than the exception, can't you?

We're getting better and better at making delicious, convincing meat-substitutes and these subtitutes are only going to get better and cheaper.
So if you could eat a delicious beyond meat burger or a crispy chicken substitute, if you could enjoy "meat" without having to take life to do it....why wouldn't you?

To be honest I'd rather the food is what it says, not what it pretends.

I am omnivorous and do not object to vegetarian meals occasionally for variety, but cannot see the point of making something resemble meat so it can be eaten by those who choose not to eat meat!

As far as having to kill animals for meat is concerned, I am not against that in principle. We did evolve as omnivores! My concern is that the animals are looked after properly and killed humanely.

Because meat is [i]gooood[/i]. We love it.
So the point of making something to resemble meat which is [i]not[/i] meat is that we can then enjoy the thing we enjoy without having to take a life in order to do it.

Evolution tells us how we developed, not what is moral.
