    Honestly, I in general don’t really like when a meat is substituted for a food that is not a primarily protein source. Like replacing meat for cauliflower or jackfruit, as opposed to something with legumes or lentils

      It creates really imbalanced meals that don’t meet our dietary needs, and turns active people away from a plant-based diet. Vegetarian and vegan diets already have a reputation for being protein challenged, and this type of substitution hurts it further by substantiating those assumptions.
