processing veggies to look like, taste like, etc meat is just daft

Why, how is it impacting you?

it should be banned IMHO

Because?

See, all it's about is to cater for the familiarisation people have
with certain foods, you know, when they had the idea of taking the
flesh of an animal and forcing it into the intestines of an animal to
form it into tubes?

So, people still want to buy tubes of things but without the cruelty
and so they make them like that but from plants?

People (especially very old / blinkered / backward looking people) are
very resistant to change and so they have to make such things for them
so they don't get confused what they are and how they might cook / eat
them.

From a more practical POV, if you form minced up animal parts (inc
eyeballs and arseholes) and push it into an intestine tube, but
someone wants to eat a similar looking dinner at the same time but
without all that gunge, making a plant based alternative look / cook
similarly means they can both be cooked at the same time and served
similarly.

'Vegans' don't demand food is made in such a way / shape.
