> Why delude yourself?

Because bacon-cheeseburgers are tasty. Being able to eat something similar, without the ethical and environmental concerns, is a very attractive idea.

Vegetable or synthetic 'meat' is not similar. There is nothing attractive about this idea.

It is similar to me and the idea is attractive to me.

I buy synthmeat regularly (Beyond Burger) and love the concept (and to eat it!). I hate veggie burgers because they taste bad, and real meat doesnt make me feel as good (for various reasons). More variety of synthmeats would be lovely.

Whats the purpose in pretending people like me dont exist?

It definitely similar in taste and eating experience. In a Burger King Whopper with all the toppings, it's very difficult to tell if it's cow or an Impossible patty.
