We need not have grandstanders in the comments, I eat meat products almost every day. This made me chuckle, because it's actually funny.

You should watch Dominion and double check if suffering in another is funny.

Soy is like trying to replace meat with cork. Sure it's technically a substitute in the sense that you've not got any more meat but it's not really a substitute in the sense that it replaces it in any manner.

Quorn is a much better equivalent. It isn't 1995 anymore, we don't need to eat soy, I don't know why it's still a thing.

Quorn is expensive..at least near me :( soy can be bought as dry beans for less than 5 bucks a kg. Also everyone can/could grow soy in a flower pot, quorn seems a tiny bit harder no? even though it's basically made of mushrooms

And if soy wasn't the better option why wouldn't cattle-raisers use Quorn?

Finally, having more good options is good :)

I don't understand the question what does cattle raises got to do with meat substitutes for humans?

Its a complete and excellent source of protein thats easily farmed and can be prepared in a million different delicious ways. It is also thousands of times less destructive for the environment than meat, as well as being cheaper to produce.

Soy has been consumed for thousands of years. Also this is entirely anecdotal and opinion: but Quorn sucks. Morning star/beyond meat all the way

I don't know. I want to hear more about these brutal conditions. It may add the suffering flavor soy has been missing all this time.
