    I very much agree, but having these “substitutes” was something that facilitated cutting out meat for me, as all cooking I used to know revolved around meat as the main ingredient. In that sense these product serve a usefulness in reducing the threshold to move away from meat in the first place.

      I guess it makes sense from a transitional perspective and I imagine they’ve gotten better over time. The last time I remember having a substitute it was much worse than the actual thing though.
