Why would a person who is vegan want to eat fake meat? I find it odd a person who is a vegans who finds even vegetarianism too relaxed would even want to eat fake meat.

I wonder if the opposite could be done to create a fake carrot made entirely out of meat?

Beyond Meat's website has "without the bad stuff (no saturated or trans fat, no cholesterol, no gluten, no antibiotics, no GMOs...and no meat)". How is gluten "bad stuff" unless you have celiac disease?
