If vegetarians are so against meat why do they make everything taste like meat?

"Social cause?" "Social Benefit?"
Vegetarians don't hate what meat stands for- it isn't an issue with politics or symbolism. They hate what meat IS, and how it came to be that way: the torture of animals in factory farms; the destruction of the environment; slaughterhouse practices which make it the most dangerous industry- 100% injury rate; the crap injected in and fed to livestock which leaves meat full of antibiotics, hormones and pesticides. To me THAT seems wrong.

None of these things have anything to do with the consumption of a garden burger, which tastes NOTHING like meat.
