This is a genuine question, it's something that always perplexed me, the idea of eating fake versions of things that you don't want to eat the real version of.
I personally could never be a vegetarian. I wouldn't say I crave meat, but I do have a sort of dependence on it that affects my mood and overall how I feel if I hadn't had it in awhile. But this happens with vegetables too, if I don't eat enough green vegetables in a certain amount of time, I start feeling crummy and cranky. So it must just be how I'm wired at this point.

I've been asked about the first quite a lot. I've only recently cut meat (bar fish) out of my diet because I've reached the age where I can cook for myself etc and therefore can choose my own meals. I like the taste of Quorn because it's not anything like Meat. Simple as that. I really don't think you can replicate the taste of it and I'm glad
I marinade my Tofu in sauces like sweet and sour or oyster so that it takes on that flavour rather than that of meat. But, I prefer meals without either Tofu or Quorn, I just find I'm much more full after those two.
I'm the exact opposite to you, which I find weird but kinda interesting. I used to be lazy, unmotivated and have terrible skin. Now that I've cut most meat out of my diet I've got more energy, more focus and a vastly improved complexion.
Damn, we're a weird species
