92. The logic is...
That many of us were brought up eating meat, and for a long time (and probably even now) I liked the taste of meat. It is hard to switch, but many people want to become vegetarian (as I did) our of my own ethical problems with the way animals are slaughtered, concern for the environment, and concern for my own health.

Most vegetarians didm't become vegetarians because they dislike meat. They generally do/did like meat but want to become vegetarian for reasons like I listed above. Veggie hot dogs, crumblers, fake hamburgers, etc lets us think we're still enjoying the things we like about meat without the suffering, environmental destruction, and clogged arteries :)
