    Meat tastes great but the way we get it is pretty fucked up and can’t be ethically justified. So of course vegetarians and vegans want to eat something that tastes like meat but doesn’t come from animals. I’m always surprised that so many meat eaters assume that most vegetarians and vegans don’t like the taste of meat.

      This is more for people who aren’t vegetarians or vegans. The goal is to get people to eat less meat, so even if people don’t go fully vegan with these products it’s still a win.

        Humans tend to kill animals much more humanely than any other animal

        Debatable, based on my personal experiences. But even if we asume this is true, its not how we kill them but how we force them to live before killing them, thats immoral IMO

        not all meat is factory farmed.

        True, however, its estimated that 90% of all the meat we produce globally comes from factory farms.

          If we eliminate factory farming, meat prices will go up, and as a result people will eat less of it. Of course at the same time there need to be better alternatives for people. It seems most places only have salads, and maybe pasta, as choices for meat free options. I don’t think replacing all the meat with fake meat is the best option.
