> Meat eaters primary issue with vegan cuisine is that it does not include meat.

In my extended group of acquaintances, the distaste for typical vegan food isn't that it doesn't have meat, it's that it tries to pretend that it does and ends up being kinda gross as a result.

Those meats (btw, not a typical vegan food) are trying to be as close as possible to the real thing to help convert meat-eaters into vegans.

And they're doing good job - I know of some long term vegetarians/vegans who don't like some plant based meats not because it's gross, but because it's too similar to the real thing.

When you switch to plant-based, in time your tastes will change, and you'll no longer miss meat/cheese ... however unlikely it may seem to you now. Maybe because cheese & meat are addictive.
