Good point. Another issue I take with these substitutes are the amount of ingredients used to make the fake counterparts. Whilst a burger is most meat, a “veggie burger” contains dozens of highly processed ones.

There's three classes of veggies burgers to me: the old fake patties, such as Boca burger; the newer, less pretentious patties full of recognizable veggies; and the latest, ultra-processed fake meat, such as Impossible and Beyond. The second class, the ones not afraid to show they're just beans, grains, and veggies shaped like a disk, are the most appealing to me. They're also the most versatile.

As a meat eater I liked the occasional Boca burger. They were always just stupid expensive (recollecting college) and never stuck in my mind as a periodic way to reduce meat consumption.
But I am one of those people with a hybrid only because I like the gas mileage.

Meat that is fed almost exclusively corn: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/that-burger-youre...
It's not exactly healthy either.
