I really hope this is arch-irony, in which case I salute you.If not-
The main reasons for eating fake-meat nonsense is that it's cheap, healthy & easy to prepare veggie equivalents of meaty-favourites WITHOUT ANY ANIMALS SUFFERING.
And that's as close to a preachy veggie I ever want to get. Plus b3ta attracts a far more intelligent selection of society (with occasional exceptions) who don't need pointing out the obvious.

TVP is _not_ cheap!When I was a student I wanted to eat TVP because it would mean I could cook it badly and still not have the problems associated with badly-cooked meat. However, I soon discovered that TVP cost about 5 times as much as meat.
If/when TVP is actually priced as it ought to be, being a product of a bacterium acting on industrial waste, I'll probably buy it. Until that day I'll stick to the flesh of dead animals.

If you're really a vegetarian......why would you WANT "veggie equivalents of meaty favourites"? There are far more types of vegetable than there are common types of meat, after all. And, generally, they're better for you than any dead animal equivalent.
It strikes me that this particular subtype of vegetarian might either have limited imagination, or still be hankering after meat, or both. If meat is murder, "veggie equivalents of meaty-favourites" are surely the favourites of abstaining murderers, rather than reformed characters?
