Generally the same reason people like to video games to emulate real life even if they do not want the games to be real

On the opposite side, why do vegans spend so much time and energy trying to make replacements of meat products? Not protein, but vegan sausages, vegan bacon, vegan eggs, that sort of thing. They’re trying to replace the very thing they gave up with something that looks and tastes like the very thing they gave up.

I am not vegan yet but if i could get the same identical culinary experience as meat minus the horrors of the animal holocaust industry. I will become vegan in a heartbeat.

I don’t miss meat anymore because for many categories, alternatives have gotten good enough that eating them instead of real meat isn’t really a sacrifice for me, just a different version and maybe a brief period of getting used to it. I’m quite content with vegan chicken stuff and burgers and sausages for example, if the product is well made. Even some cheaper ones have improved a lot. Guess I’m lucky that I never was much into steaks and cheese.
The thing I do miss is being able to go into any restaurant without worrying if they even have vegan options. This might be a big reason why people don’t go vegan. But trying to eat plant-bayed while making some exceptions would already be awesome. Even just asking for vegan options if there are none would help a lot if enough people did it.
After 10 years I’m not sure anymore if I’ll eat cell culture meat, because eating real meat is just kinda strange/disgusting to me by now. But I’d be really happy if they became available for the people who do want to eat real meat.
