Why are they trying to be fake meat anyway? Vegan substitutes rarely compare quite as well but honestly they’d be way better if they stopped trying to imitate something they’re not and did more to stand up on their own. All the good vegan food I’ve had was just being its own thing.
I imagine, they mainly don’t want to compete with the plethora of cheap+good vegan protein options: lentils, beans, chickpeas, nuts, tofu, tempeh, seitan, TVP, hummus, falafel etc.
Faking meat works as a market, because folks often just want what they’re used to, and then you’re primarily competing against real meat, which is much more expensive, so you can excuse quite a large profit margin.
