Because taste is one of out most basic human senses. Imagine if u told people that they had to wear contact lenses to make the whole world just different shades of beige.
Ive tried the green eggs and ham and they dont compare to the real thing. The texture is wrong. The nutrition profile is different. The flavours are a cheap approximation (like vanillin approximating vanilla). The fat distribution is wrong.
And it feels artificial and processed with 1000 additives and fillers.
And u to can have all this for double the price of a good ol slab of real cow.
Mind you, sometimes the vegan stuff is just plain superior to the original. I won’t buy regular cream anymore; the vegan stuff I can get tastes better and has a much longer shelf life. Then again, I’ve never seen vegan “cheese” with a flavor other than “rubbery beige rectangle”. It’s very product dependent.
We’re not talking about fake meat and other products designed to exploit people’s stupidity and childish unwillingness to try new things. This article doesn’t mention them once, that’s entirely your own projection.
We’re talking about FOOD. Try some sometime. Many or most of your favourite things to eat are vegan. You’ve been eating them all your life. You eat them at every meal. You like them when the word “vegan” isn’t in your munted brain, you’re just triggered.

Vegan food tastes great. Y’all just won’t try any green eggs and ham.

Oils tends to have a longer shelf life.
You’re Australian, right? Try the Bird’s Eye sweet chili “chicken” tenders.

then dont eat the artificial stuff. i eat the legumes themselves and they’re wonderful.
