The only benefit of plant based meat is that it's more environmentally friendly than traditional meat.

Well, it’s also not made from animals, which is a big benefit for me at least.

Plant-based meats aren’t a major part of my diet, but it’s nice to be able to grab a burger or sausage substitute that grills alongside traditional meats for cookouts/etc. I’ll not eat it with the frequency that people eat meat, because it’s not a healthy or compelling part of a daily or weekly diet, but it’s great for the occasional social events.
