Hard to grasp as in, you’re against animal cruelty, but still, you’d like to eat products that resemble meat.
This seems pretty simple to me, plant based alternatives looking like meat doesn’t make them equitable to animal cruelty.
It’s the pretend part that’s confusing to me. Why actually eat something shaped and tasting like what carnivores eat. Why does it have to resemble meat products? You obviously don’t like hurting animals, why pretend that an animal died to serve you this meal.
A vegan earlier explained it to me that these are mostly things that vegans would eat at carnivore social events, like barbecues, in which case, yes, it does make sense.
Do you not get cravings for food?
Eating is enjoyable, and to eat different foods is a different experience. Different smells, tastes, textures. Some people enjoy the experience of eating meat, they enjoy the taste, the texture. When they quit eating meat for ethical issues they still remember that they enjoyed meat.
So if you enjoy eating meat and only stopped due to the ethical issues, why wouldn’t you create a substitute?
It’s like a lesbian! Just because you aren’t attracted to a man, or don’t want to be with one, doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a dildo.
