I also think there is a small group of vegetarians who eat and support fake meats because it allows them to engage more fully in their social life.
This particular vegetarian might be thinking "I can just throw on a Beyond Meat burger and an Impossible dog, then I am fully enfranchised this experience!"[/QUOTE]
I am also one who does not care to create fake meats. I have a beautiful Thanksgiving meal I make with the centerpiece dish a stuffed squash with better stuffing than mushy bread. It includes a vegan gravy that everyone loves. There are times I like some food on a bun, it is super handy to not need a utensil after all. It also brings less unwanted attention to my food. To be honest I don't think I have ever influenced anyone to not eat meat
