why do vegans who don't like meat and hate meat, make alternatives that look exactly like meat and taste like meat..
late night thoughts
Many people here in India are vegetarians( only a portion of that may be called vegans) but more are non veg .
Vegetarians eat dairy products and some eat eggs ( eggitarians here we like to call em) and it's due to cultural and religion specific reasons which is very diverse in india .
Vegans are people who don't consume any animal products due to them not wanting animal killings and abuse.
I don't eat it cauz of my parents ofc they never let me eat em and it's the same as u not liking some vegetables ig that's vegetarian as I eat eggs but I can't fw other things cauz of smell and all its just feels uncomfortable to me like if I try to eat then my body would be like "gaging" on its own if that makes sense tho I don't hate mear lovers yal eat whatcu wanna
Yea as #6 says its for the transition.
People who have been vegan for years will rarely offer you some burger supplement when they invite you over for dinner. Theyll make normal food. They know enough recipes by now that they just dont need meat anymore.
Im not vegan but I will, by pure chance, often go a week+ without using meat when cooking for my flatmates and myself. Its cheaper and theres just SO MUCH food to make and choose from.
No ones gonna choose that horribly seasoned shit once they know how and what to properly cook. People who are so hung up on their meat that they actually NEED these supplements arent going to stick to being vegan. Its just not for them and thats fine.
There are plenty of reasons why someone might choose to be vegan. The most common ones are:
So, regardless of your question, some vegans want to "replicate" the taste of meat because they enjoy it but choose not to eat real meat due to their own reasons for being vegan to begin with. I also agree with the transition phase theory, it align
mostly those meat substitutes are there for vegans who like the taste of meat but find a problem ethically with consuming it, whether its because of the pollution the meat industry causes, animal rights concerns, etc. The people who just dont like the taste of meat will just straight up not eat meat
