In reply to the discussion: Big Food is ready to sell you more plant-based meat [View all]Spider Jerusalem
(21,786 posts)36. Also tastes like meat (at least the ones I've had do)
the Beyond Meat burgers don't taste like beef, quite (closer to venison, I'd say). Considering the environmental impact of livestock, eating less meat is good for everyone; giving people who might not be inclined to try vegetarian or vegan food options that are familiar and taste similar enough to meat to form an acceptable replacement is going to be an important part of reducing consumption, on a societal level. Your incomprehension is beside the point.

There is very little to nothing that you get from meat that you can't get elsewhere.

These meat substitutes are okay, but when I can get them, I like black bean burgers better
