It may seem strange to you that we are imitating that which we claim to abhor. But regardless of what we might consider the ideal, Americans do not want to eat vegetables, whole grains, or any of the other “health” foods some vegans continually and detrimentally equate with veganism. Every measure we could possibly use—what Americans are eating, where they are eating, even how they are cooking (opening jars and microwaving contents)—reveals that Americans aren’t interested in eating better or healthier. And offering the average American a bell pepper instead of a veggie burger is a recipe for failure. And when their health is at stake, when lives are at stake, when the fate of the planet is at stake, failure is not an option.

Tofurky and Fakin’ Bacon and Boca Burgers and veggie dogs and all those foods some vegans dismiss as glorifying meat-eating are the animals’ saving grace.
