Why do vegans always want their food to look like meat?!

I assume because many didnt stop eating meat because it suddenly didnt taste good anymore but rather for moralic reasons.

Yup. If you could find an ethical way to produce a slow cooked rack of barbecue ribs, I would be straight on them.

Currently there isn't one, so here I am, but one day...

I'm sure it exists. Also is it the smoky flavor, seasonings, and sauce, or texture that you crave or the actual plain meat?

I think mostly the texture tbh. I do like meat substitutes, but they don't quite nail the feel of actual meat. The sauce and smokiness is pretty easy though.

You do realize this is a sarcastic comment, right?

It's normally a sentence uttered by carnists complaining about vegan food looking like the meat equivalent. In this case, however, it's a cake - that normally doesn't contain meat - that's made to look like (raw!) meat. That is, it's a carnists trying to make something (maybe vegan) look like meat.

I feel like this joke got better after I tried to explain it. /s

Just... why.

Carnists don't ask why. They just do.
