I hate the idea of killing animals for food so I hardly ever eat "real" meat. When I do, I try to make sure it is from animals that were treated and killed humanely.

I am mostly vegetarian but it is not because I don't like the taste or tetxture of meat. I don't seek out meat substitutes, but I don't mind them sometimes.
