    Why do they put, for example, pulled-pork on these. Surely it's conceptually lazy, or are we just so blinded by our own pathetic habits that we need to know it tastes like something we're probably trying to give up?

    • It's funny, vegans want to be vegan but lust after meat flavor and the experience?!?robotron3k
    • Or maybe it’s targeting those who’d like to stop eating meat.NBQ00
    • But still need/ want the taste of real meat.NBQ00

    • Agreed with post and robo. Stop making vegan versions of stuff you can't have. It's weird.monospaced

    • You might be being a bit presumptuous here. Some people might choose vegan for legitimate health reasons.SteveJobs
    • I've recently developed an allergy to milk. It causes horrible rashes on my skin. Had no idea how many products contain milk until I was forced to avoid them.SteveJobs
    • I recently tried vegan pizza and vegan mac & cheese for the first time because I miss being able to eat those foods once in a while. They're gross btw :(SteveJobs
    • Then again, can someone have a meat allergy? Idk, maybe you're all right on this hahaSteveJobs
    • I’m pretty much vegan but it’s not because I don’t like the taste of meat. Meat is delicious. How we mass produce it is fucked.thumb_screws
    • Not sure how else they would name it? Pulled vegetable and soy based style patties?thumb_screws
    • I don't get this argument, I'm not vegetarian but people give up meat for tons of reasons that don't include flavour or a desire for something familiar.ben_
    • If someone gives up leather and then buys a pair of shoes in synthetic leather... you'd care?ben_
    • Personally I try not to buy animal based stuff any more. Flip side is one of my main clients manufacture leather goods.
      It’s all fraught with contradictions.

    • Haven’t tried these but honestly some of her other stuff is amazing. I don’t eat meat due to ethical reasons .. not taste based onesautoflavour
    • Fake duck is fucking brillant.. just wish a company had the balls to call it fuckautoflavour
    • Isn't it the same as Lesbians and dildos?Alum31
    • I only eat meaty on holidays but I don't hate the taste of meat. I eat mostly veggies, nuts & mushrooms but I like some quick varience in my meals. I'd try it.shellie

    • The label helps people understand what it tastes like. It's not rocket science.nb
    • If you were designing the package, what would you write? The thing that fits in with your world view or the one that helps people buy lunch?nb
    • These burgers aren't even vegan, But sure go ahead and blame vegans for this package's label. Somehow it's their fault!nb
    • robotron3k, this stuff isn't really marketed to vegans. There's loads of people to try new diets and looking to cut cholesterol.omahadesigns
    • they dropped the 'milk' from soya milk recently. but you can call stuff pork and beef because it's not the same as calling it 'pig meat' or 'cow meat'kingsteven
