I've yet to find a plant substitute for every flavor and texture that I might want to consume, variety is the spice of life. We could all eat Soylent or jelly fish, and if that was all we had let's chow down! I eat vegetables as much as I enjoy to, and I eat other things in the same moderation. I don't eat things that are trying to imitate other things, I nearly always prefer the original to the imitation (I appreciate that some people don't want the original, or cannot have the original, so I've never talked against those products existing), plants do not have the same texture, nor cook the same way, as meats, it doesn't happen. I'm not against progress and I appreciate the ethical (and sometimes biological) argument against modern farming, but I would try to dissuade you against turning perfect into the enemy of better.
