Comment on No more cordon blur: France prepares to ban vegetarian products from using meaty language

Meat tastes great but the way we get it is pretty fucked up and can’t be ethically justified. So of course vegetarians and vegans want to eat something that tastes like meat but doesn’t come from animals. I’m always surprised that so many meat eaters assume that most vegetarians and vegans don’t like the taste of meat.

This is more for people who aren't vegetarians or vegans. The goal is to get people to eat less meat, so even if people don't go fully vegan with these products it's still a win.

  I don’t see how animals’ behavior is relevant, here. We have morality and can understand the effects of our actions on other sentient beings. Most animals don’t and can’t. That’s how we can have obligations other animals don’t have.

    I agree that animals usually kill in way worse ways than us. But that doesn’t really excuse our behavior.

  Humans tend to kill animals much more humanely than any other animal
  
  Debatable, based on my personal experiences. But even if we asume this is true, its not how we kill them but how we force them to live before killing them, thats immoral IMO
  
  not all meat is factory farmed.
  
  True, however, its estimated that 90% of all the meat we produce globally comes from factory farms.
