I have a second one (and I say this as a 30-something who’s been vegetarian since middle school): if you judge it unethical to eat meat because you think the animals deserve life than you should also find items designed to look or feel like meat unacceptable.
You wouldn’t buy a pseudo human appendage at the meat market because it’s not just the reality that’s important it’s the entire idea that is abhorrent.
But almost all the meat people eat (and vegan meats imitate) doesn't look like a dead animal. Find me a vegan who wants to eat a vegan suckling pig and you'll have an actual example, but no vegan would want that because the murder part is staring them in the face
