They make it look like meat for those who want to eat something lower in fat.
For example, the typical American: "Man, I'd like to have some Double Decker Tacos from Taco Bell, but my waist has grow 14 inches in the last two years. Ohhh, I'll go home and make Soy Taco, taste like meat, looks like meet, but doesn't have as much fat. Great, I'll fry that bad boy up in some bacon grease and top it off with a half pound of cheese and a big ole wallop of sour cream!"

I got the Quorn at Wild Oats, I think. They're going out of business out there by Watterson Xpressway and Bardstown Road. Eight "chicken style patties" for less than $4 doesn't seem too expensive to me. You just heat them in the oven and they're ready to eat. I'm going to try the rest.
In answer to the snobbish vegetarian sneering over meat substitutes let me give a couple of reasons for them: 1. They are fulfilling to a meat eater so they're not left craving meat. If you really think vegetarianism is good then you should be glad there is an easy pathway for the omnivores... unless you enjoy sticking your nose up over how superior you are for eating nuts, berries, and tofu more than caring for your fellow man. 2. It adds another dimension to the vegetarian diet and variety is good. This is a tasty and easily digestible source of protein with no cholesterol and no fat. The patties are similar to the fried things served in cafeterias. I went through all sorts of interesting scent and taste memories of elementary school cafeteria lunches. Add a homemade sauce and those similarities would be consumed.
