I don't have any particular issues with plant based meats, but I really don't like the whole idea that everything has to replicate meat.

There are so many amazing dishes that just happen to be vegetarian/vegan that seem to go overlooked

Because selfish humans love their fucking meat and they don’t care that animals are locked into prisons where they can barely move or clean themselves, generate massive acres of literal shit pools that pollute large areas, the impact that kind of farming has on the environment….

THAT is why there is motivation for replication. Without it how do you shut down these disgusting cow/pig/chicken torture facilities
