The following are three things I can find absolutely no reason for being.

Meat is not and can not be made from plants. You want a kale sandwich? Fine, but please identify it as such. Impossible is an apt name.
Here’s something that should be near and dear to my heart – a wine purse.

So why in the name of Bacchus are they filling it Gatorade? Epic fail.

I’m sorry, but you have to be a special kind of stupid person to pay $14.99 (plus shipping and handling) for a single apple. I don’t care how cute the box is.

Sometimes it is fun—and memorable—being a stupid person! I know–just ask me!!

* Meat can be made from plants, but it takes an animal to make the conversion. Why is it that vegans have try to convince you that fodder takes like meat … (almost)
* Back in the day we just put the booze in a brown paper bag. It didn’t fool people, but they were too polite to point it out
* At $15 per apple, I’ll send you all you want.

Exactly. If it’s made from soybean? It’s not a hamburger, no matter how you spin it. And at $15 per apple off our trees… I’ll be rich this fall!

The fruit thing is common in Japan. They give virtually perfect fruit as gifts, including things like a $100 honeydew. I’m sure virtually perfect fruit is amazing but there’s no way it’s $100 amazing!

Look I like kale but it has no place in a sandwich of any kind. As for Harry and David, that single apple “gift” is a stupid idea.

If they’re all about concealing alcohol, maybe it’s not really Gatorade in the bottle. Might be a nice Rose.

I have been vegetarian since I was six, and I do remember that for at least the first 10-15 years of that, my diet was pretty boring and unvaried. When I was little, there did not seem to be much fresh veg available, so it was mostly frozen veg and baked beans. I craved variety. For a long time I did not like faux meats, I did not enjoy the taste or texture. But I think as my interest in cooking has grown, I have seen recipes for meat dishes, and I am curious to try them with these plant-based “meat” products. I still vastly prefer a variety of fresh veggies over fake meat, but I do appreciate the variety available now. It is nice to be able to have that choice. I also quite like that I can make a dish and guests often don’t realize that they are eating a vegetarian dish and are surprised to learn I used something an alternative.
I am not a big fan of fake meats because I never did like meat before I became a vegetarian (with the exception of sandwich ham), but at the same time, if it could in any way help with this huge problem of how mass cattle farming is effecting the climate – then for those who like the taste and texture of meat, maybe it is a good thing. I am on the fence with these products.

I can understand the need for variety, it just tickles my funny bone how often vegetarians search for fake meat.

I do wonder whether that is mainly vegetarians who used to eat meat but became vegetarian for health or other reasons and miss it’s taste/texture. Whereas, for myself, I only remember fish fingers and sandwich ham. Why do peeps drink non-alcoholic gin? It has no appeal to me. I don’t really know – but if they like something about a “G&T” but don’t want the effects of alcohol – kudos to them.

True, but non alcoholic gin is still basically gin. Plant based meat is a plant.. not meat.

Too quote Sheldon (with a slight twist): “In a world where meat is available, why would I choose to eat plants made to look like meat?” Oh. The wine – why waste perfectly good wine for instructional purposes? I am pretty sure the wine was long gone before the photoshoot. Now the apple – That is a SPECIAL apple. It was used as a prop in one of the many Snow White features. Can’t you tell? It is perfectly round and red.
