Ah yes, how dare we have the audacity to point out that activist vegans selectively apply the logic underlying their morality.
Not sure how you pointing that out constitutes any kind of defence.

In recent days there have been two attacks on the "fake" burger.
1. Christian TV Host: Meatless Burgers Are Satanic Plot To Create ‘Race Of Soulless Creatures’
He also believes we're about to enter an ice age rather than the warming defeating the one we're actually in.
2. A Hindu "environmentalist" Vandana Shiva who makes 40K for an appearance objects to THIS vegan food :-
An Impossible response

Me too, the appearance of blood and taste like a cow no way. Too horrible for me.
I’ll stick with other plant based tofu and tempeh However, a friend back in my hometown asked to try one. When I saw him couple weeks later he told me he has been buying them on his own. He really liked them.
I was surprised, knowing him to always eat animals but now enjoying plant based. He asked why had I never offered him one, my response being I just had assumed he would refuse.

If that's what it takes for some meat eaters to switch to a vegan alternative occasionally, what's wrong with that?

I don't know any meat eaters, self included, that want our food to bleed before or after cooking. But this doesn't offend me though, other than the notion of corporate control/intellectual property of food. Whether this is healthy or not is another matter.
As for the religious nutter: aren't animals soulless according to christianity?

is this what it's actually being marketed as? thats well off putting.
'bleeds just like real meat' aint appetising to the mind regardless of what diet yer on
totally disregarding the fact that steak dont 'bleed' its meat juice
vegans are fucking gross sometimes with the 'food' they invent

Nothing is as gross as the weird hormone-stuffed, freakshow meat that's churned out from cruel, despicable factory farms.

Reason #3,804 to be vegan: it pisses off nasty little gobshites like this one.
I've never understood the point of creating pretend-meat foods when you don't want to eat meat. YMMV. Eat what you enjoy IMO
Can't say the ingredients appeal to me. Ironically it's got more sat fat, if that's your concern, than it's beefy counterpart.

Saturated fats seem to be having a bit or a revival recently. And tbf if you aren't eating them every night your diet would still have loads less then mine.
Oh I'm not bothered by them at all, but I would assume vegans are more likely than not to be.

Why? People are vegan for loads of reasons and as I mentioned most will have diets pretty low in saturated fats.

I had one of them beyond burgers at some twatty burger place in Bristol a while back, was nice. I didn't stick my hand up a jacksy to understand how it lived or anything though
Yes, that's what I said
Most are more likely to eat less sat fat.

Loads of this new wave vegan junk food is really high fat high salt, it's how they make it taste like nice junk food, pretty much the point of it really. Just like with meat eating diets it's fine if you're not eating it twice a day isn't itYes, that's what I said
Big diff between mcburger fast food bullshit and proper meat (duh!). If this product is trying to emulate the former it probably is preferrable, but not for the latter IMO.

Perhaps you failed to read my last post where I the preference for a burger that "doesn't involve death and cruelty and does less damage to the environment."
Oh, and not all vegan burgers have more saturated fat than the dead animals ones - most have slightly less calories - not that I've seen anyone suggesting that people should switch to a non-meat diet and eat burgers all day.
