The world's population of over 8 billion people cannot adopt the same diet as Americans do. If everyone did, we would require more than 5 Earths to sustain such consumption, which unfortunately, we do not possess.
Vegans don't require plant-based meats. We're happy eating fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds. These products are being developed for carnivores to facilitate an easier transition for them.
It's not an abomination; it's plant-based protein. Currently, we already consume 63% of our protein from plant sources, and 82% of our calories come from plants.
You can easily prepare plant-based meat at home by mixing plant-based protein (essentially flour), water, salt, spices, and a spoonful of oil. Cook the mixture using steam or in vegetable stock. It's that simple.
The TRUE abomination is the lack of respect that we have for this planet, including the lack of respect for food by calling certain foods abominations.
