I like that it exists and is there for people who want to consume less meat, but as a vegetarian this actually grosses me out. I love veggie burgers, but they are just that – veggie burgers. I don’t need my food to mimic meat. If I wanted meat, I would just eat it. I just don’t understand this trend of trying to mimic flesh made foods all the sudden. If it’s something to bridge the gap towards meaters, than I suppose it is a good thing. However, I think comparing real meat foods to their vegetarian or vegan remakes really just sets those people up for failure. Eating less meat is more than just finding substitutes but really changing your way of thinking and your relationship of meat. Same with any other kind of diet change. I think the American way of doing things is what cements the idea that you need to eat so much meat with every meal. Don’t get me wrong here, I am grateful that people want to curb this and have other options.
