It’s the pretend part that’s confusing to me. Why actually eat something shaped and tasting like what carnivores eat. Why does it have to resemble meat products? You obviously don’t like hurting animals, why pretend that an animal died to serve you this meal.
A vegan earlier explained it to me that these are mostly things that vegans would eat at carnivore social events, like barbecues, in which case, yes, it does make sense.
Eating is enjoyable, and to eat different foods is a different experience. Different smells, tastes, textures. Some people enjoy the experience of eating meat, they enjoy the taste, the texture. When they quit eating meat for ethical issues they still remember that they enjoyed meat.
So if you enjoy eating meat and only stopped due to the ethical issues, why wouldn’t you create a substitute?
It’s like a lesbian! Just because you aren’t attracted to a man, or don’t want to be with one, doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a dildo.
This may sound weird, but actually, no, I don’t. I eat what I’m served… or whatever I cooked and saved in the freezer (I cook in large pots so I don’t have to cook every day, freeze the rest)… or whatever everyone else agrees upon, I’m always fine with whatever everyone else is having. If everyone pushes me to order something different, I just pick the first or second thing on the menu, makes no difference to me, I eat anything, as long as it has vegetables in it. Doesn’t have to have meat, but veggies, yes.
I do get cravings for things, like once a year I wanna eat a burger or an ice cream… and then I’m done for the year. I still haven’t eaten ice cream this year, not once.
And if I don’t buy whatever it is I was craving for in the next few days, the craving goes away and that’s that.
I like eating tasty food, but the food I eat doesn’t necessarily have to be tasty. Food is like a means to an end for me. I’m hungry, I eat 🤷.

Yeah, this is where I differ from most people I guess. I do like to eat tasty food, but I’m not addicted to it.
I like trying out new and weird food, just for the heck of it, why not. Like I had pigs brains about a year ago. Why? I’ve never tasted it, was wondering how it tasted, and yes, when I saw that on the menu, I just had to have it.
You could say I like to try new things, but I’m not addicted to tastes. The new thing doesn’t just go for food in my case, it’s about anything, so I wouldn’t say it’s food exclusive.

So, the only reasons vegans don’t eat animal products are ethical? Didn’t actually know this, good info 👍. And yeah, in that case, it does make sense I guess.

Yeah, that one is also kinda confusing for me, lol 😂.
This seems pretty simple to me, plant based alternatives looking like meat doesn’t make them equitable to animal cruelty.

Do you not get cravings for food?
