I definitely know what you mean about meat alternatives, which I lovingly refer to as crossover foods because I think they serve important functions (at least the healthier ones)...to embrace cravings as you mentioned, to help people transition to a more plant-centric diet, and to serve familiar foods during a gathering of friends or family who may not be vegan-friendly. I certainly don't know why this is something that gets people so worked up...
Thanks for reading Jack! Calling them crossover foods is a great way to put it. I think they definitely have their place in the present culture and system but it's hard for me to see some of the more industrially-produced alternatives being part of our lives in the long run!
I agree - there is an extreme separation between those with acceptable ingredients and those with...well...crap ingredients! I think the market will eventually sort that out, and I really hope the healthier versions outlast the heavily processed variations.
