Fake Vegan Meat

When I go to a vegetarian restaurant 
I often encounter fake meat
Often called mock meat

Made out of soy beans, and other things
And I wonder 
Why bother with the façade

I mean if you are a vegan
Be a vegan

Don’t eat or make fake meat 
You don’t need it 
You really don’t like it

And it is somehow 
just wrong to me 

So please no more fake meat
No more tofu turkey for me 

Either give me my meat
Or give me my vegan delight
