Why do meat substitutes exist?
I'm omnivorous, but have many "restricted diet" friends. None of them ever consume fake meat (and there is plenty available in the UK - from Quorn, through Linda McCartneys dubious nursery food substitutes to good old TVP pellets) since they acquire bountiful nutrition from a varied vegetable diet. So who eats this stuff? And why? Surely, if you choose not to eat meat, an industrially manufactured simulation is a perverse alternative? Or am I missing the point?
