I don't have anything against vegans or vegetarians (more meat for me) but I don't understand this obsession with making non-meat products look like meat. This doesn't happen the other way around, no one ever shows up to a party saying:

>hey guys! I brought these steaks that look just like cauliflower!

What's the purpose of this? Tofu and other mashed-up asshole-looking foods can be any shape or size you like. Is the implication here that the sausage link is the most effective food delivery device?

They object to eating actual meat but still want a similar gustatory experience. It makes perfect sense. No one quits meat because it tastes bad.

This. It's not the taste or texture of things that bothers vegetarians and vegans. It's often a health or moral choice. And things like veggie sausages help them lead otherwise normal food lives by allowing them to consume their food in "normal" ways. BBQs with hotdogs and buns, for example. Yeah they could eat a pile of grains and vegetables, but shoving it in a faux casing so it can be eaten in a bun makes it easier to eat (utensil-free) and socially available in situations like parties, BBQs, etc.

you have realize the average vegan is now college aged thots. The most commitment they can muster is substituting things. Actually eating a vegetable rich diet is simply beyond them (unless it comes in a trader joes freezer box). To be honest I'm glad with all the normands getting into veganism we might actually get some worthwhile statistics out it. Since it'll no longer be normal people vs health elitists, people with eating disorders, and a handful of nutters with animal rights issues.

Because the human body craves meat it's only natural to make vegetable and grain substitutes that look like meat. Especially because it takes so little effort.

Take this tempeh "steak" for instance. Just cut it a little jagged, rough it up a little, soak it in some diluted red food coloring, and sear it just like a steak.

A lot of vegans formerly ate meat products and end up missing those meat products so they try to create replicas to satisfy their craving. Also, it's a way they can enjoy meals with others without needing some special dish prepared. For instance, if a vegan is attending a cook out they can just bring a pack of those bad boys with them and the cook can grill them right along with the others.

Can't deny, frozen veggies are great. As fresh as they come, can forget forever in the fridge without them going bad, and extremely easy to prepare, no prewash and cutting. As a lazy single, frozen veggies are a life saver because everything else you can buy tends to be too much or too little.
