Would you like vegetarian or vegan products that taste like meat?

Asked by prescottman2008 (780points) June 7th, 2010

I just finished reading an article in Time about a “break through” in “food design” where they’ve made a soy based product that looks, feels, chews and tastes like chicken, or turkey or ham, or whatever. I’m wondering to myself, an avowed omnivore, if someone who has chosen a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle would want something like that. I would think if you’ve sworn off animal products that would mean you’ve also sworn off “imitation animal products” as well. I work in a grocery store and am amazed when I see soy “bacon” or soy “chorizo” or “tofu-rkey”. If I were to ever become a vegetarian I think I would want all my vegetables, fruits and grains to taste like….. vegetables, fruits and grains.
