What the fuck is the ‘authentic experience’ of a chicken nugget that seitan is incapable of replicating, anyways? Also the burger patties I ate in school as a cringe baby carnist were 60% TVP soy to begin with, so if anything I’m being even more honest with my frozen slabs now
Okay but seriously though, there are a lot of things that are ‘imitations’ of things that are morally repugnant that are not only harmless but enjoyable due to the fact that no one is getting hurt from it. Like violent video games, some sexual roleplay and so on.
It’s less ‘we are imitating the animal harm hooray’ and more ‘we took the animal harm out of this thousand+ year old human food tradition, hooray!’ (or twenty+ year old if it’s the fast food stuff lol)
they should make an imitation human baby called “humane baby”
they can call it Unborn Baby
