    The script can very easily be flipped, OP. “If you like plants so much why are you trying to make it imitate meat?”

      This is the flip. Meat eaters say this to vegans all the time. That’s the whole joke.

        And vegans need to stop calling people who consume meat “meat eaters.” I have no problem with a salad and some veggies BECAUSE I’M AN OMNIVORE. (as are all you vegans because you are human and that’s LITERALLY what we are).

        We didn’t become the dominant species on this planet by hunting carrots. We are predators. Get over yourself.

      Short answer: for the noobs. Most vegans grow to increasingly prefer more plant-forward meals. The humble bean is by far the most underappreciated ingredient out there.
