Vegetarian burgers, sausage, etc always struck me as pretty funny. Especially when there is some obvious attempt to make it look like meat.
I saw "non-beef beef" at the supermarket the other week. It's like a culinary paradox.
I always laugh at this... "Meat" looks nothing like the original flesh of the animal. A sausage looks more like a cucumber than it looks like an animal. A hamburger is of a form as a disk/circle/mushroom, how natural is that? So no vegetable burgers, sausages, etc does not look like meat, they are in easy shapes that enables us too eat them.

Just like almond milk has existed for hundred of years so have vegetable products. Next you will say a falafel is in the shape of a meat ball?

And since people don't get it, many eat vegetable products so no one needs to die. They don't eat it because they don't like the taste of meat, cow milk, cow cheese, etc.

I hate vegan food because of this. I've no problem eating vegetables, but why the would I want them looking like meat? Thanks but no thanks.
How does it look like meat exactly? You extract mushroom/disk-forms out of the cow or what? The cucumber shape of hotdogs, or maybe the falafel shaped meat balls?

Vegans want it too "look" like meat, not because they dislike the taste of animal flesh, but because they don't want to kill anyone.
