Why vegans eat food that looks and tastes like meat (veg and animal rights group)

8. It's actually really simple

It’s actually really simple:

I like the taste of meat.
I do not like the environmental/ethical issues that come with meat.

Therefore, if I can eat something with the taste of meat (which I like) but also without the baggage of meat (like the havoc for the environment and the cruelty of mass industrial scale meat farms) then I should eat that.

If those products did not exist, I still would not eat meat, because the harm outweighs the flavor in my mind.

But those products do exist, so I can get what I like (the flavor) without the stuff I don’t like (cruelty and environmental damage).
