In a nutshell, because that sh!t is GOOD. 99% of the time, if I can substitute Boca ground meatless in place of ground beef, I will (it just doesn't work in some things). For most anything else, I use ground chicken or ground turkey. It's so nice to take the lid off of a pot of chili or spaghetti sauce and NOT have a sheet of grease on top of it.
And it's full of protein, low in fat and calories. It's great.
Not to say a juicy steak doesn't have a place in a balanced diet, but those meat substitutes are definitely worth the price.
did anyone watch "Penn & Teller's Bush!t" PETA episode? It was season 2, episode 1... 
. There one on GM foods might be applicable to this conversation as well.
Hilarious!

I for one, hate steak.. so sick, big bloody, bad for you, sick.
I do however like Poultry and things like lunchmeat (subs and stuff)
but eating raw beef is nasty IMO!
Bad for you? In small amounts, it's packed full of nutrients, and if you are worried about your fat intake, just choose a leaner cut. Like everything else, moderation is key. Hell, I was raised hindu and I love the stuff. :lips:
P.S. ITS NOT BLOOD
What are you talking about? Bad for you and sick? It's not as lean as say chicken but it's not that much fatter. Eating it close to raw has no adverse health benefits. If anything, eating processed sh!t like that lunchmeat is unhealthy.

That is your idea of everything good and decent in the human spirit?
some people are vegetarians for religeious reasons. don't knock on them.
Bourdain has written a few books I would recommend even if you're not particularly into cooking. Kitchen Confidential in particular is a very interesting read about what all goes on behind the scenes in the food industry.

Carrot Juice Is Murder - Arrogant Worms
Listen up brothers and sisters come hear my desperate tale
I speak of our friends of nature trapped in the dirt like a jail
Vegetables live in oppression, served on our tables each night
This killing of veggies is madness, I say we take up the fight
Salads are only for murderers, coleslaw's a fascist regime
Don't think that they don't have feelings, just cause a radish can't scream
Chorus:
I've heard the screams of the vegetables (scream, scream, scream)
Watching their skins being peeled (having their insides revealed)
Grated and steamed with no mercy (burning off calories)
How do you think that feels (bet it hurts really bad)
Carrot juice constitutes murder (and that's a real crime)
Greenhouses prisons for slaves (let my vegetables go)
It's time to stop all this gardening (it's dirty as hell)
Let's call a spade a spade (is a spade is a spade is a spade)
I saw a man eating celery, so I beat him black and blue
If he ever touches a sprout again, I'll bite him clean in two
I'm a political prisoner, trapped in a windowless cage
Cause I stopped the slaughter of turnips by killing five men in a rage
I told the judge when he sentenced me, "This is my finest hour,
I'd kill those farmers again just to save one more cauliflower"
Chorus
How low as people do we dare to stoop,
Making young broccolis bleed in the soup?
Untie your beans, uncage your tomatoes
Let potted plants free, don't mash that potato!
Oh spare the spud! Eat a cow instead!
I've heard the screams of the vegetables (scream, scream, scream)
Watching their skins being peeled (fates in the stir-fry are sealed)
Grated and steamed with no mercy (you fat gourmet slob)
How do you think that feels? (leave them out in the field)
Carrot juice constitutes murder (V8's genocide)
Greenhouses prisons for slaves (yes, your composts are graves)
It's time to stop all this gardening (take up macrame)
Let's call a spade a spade
(is a spade, is a spade, is a spade, is a spade......)
Power to the peas! Give peas a chance!
all we are saying, is give peas a chance

How can you say steak is bad, but then claim to like lunchmeat? Lunchmeat is everything left over that you wouldn't normally eat, not to mention that it's usually loaded with chemicals.
It's called Aggravated Assault.
People go to jail for it, regardless of its Darwinian qualities.

You can have the organ meat. I'll take everything else.
