These vegan meat brands taste almost as good as the real thing. Taste tests prove it. (www.nationalobserver.com)

You missed my point, vegan meat products don't mimic meat, they mimic unhealthy crap that already does not taste like meat. Time and resources would be much better spent manufacturing and marketing traditional vegan foods (literally everything other than meat analog) it a way that makes them easy and appealing as an alternative to meat not as a 1:1 replacement.

You do not understand how far developed the plant-based alternatives scene is, they have so many things that taste like meat for example ribs.

Plant-based meats are actually healthier than their animal-derived counterparts.

A review of previous studies found that risk factors for heart disease, including total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and body weight, improved when various animal-based meats were replaced with a substitute made from plants, according to the paper, published Wednesday in the Canadian Journal of Cardiology.

I disagree with you there as we should preserve all foods but make them all plant-based so we do not lose culture.

You can eat whole foods plant-based instead and prepare all your food at home.
