I'm going to be pedantic here, because it's sometimes my favourite thing to be. But "Vegan Meat" is an oxymoron.

Meat is specifically defined as the flesh or edible parts of animals.

These aren't Vegan Meat brands, they're Meat Substitute brands.

Meat also refers to the edible nut part. Like the meat of a wallnut is inside the shell

Meat is only specifically animals when in that context. Example: "let's get to the meat of the issue" is not referring to animal flesh, but the details of an issue. Not even food related.

No, vegan meat exists, because I use it in that way.
