There are a lot of spaces where that doesn't really matter. A Big Mac, once covered in cheese, bacon, sauce etc. doesn't really taste like meat. Those 'instant' microwave meals don't really taste like meat. Most of the meals I was served for lunch in school didn't really taste like meat. Every hospital meal I've ever eaten didn't really taste like meat. I assume prison meals are worse than all of the above. In all these, and similar, use cases real meat could be replaced with a halfway decent meat substitute without any culinary value being lost.
I'm neither pro nor against non-animal meat, but all the times I tried it kinda tasted like shit, particularly beyond meat burgers.
It makes sense only if you already are vegetarian/vegan and are ideologically inclined to push that kind of stuff.
Otherwise, it really doesn't taste like meat.
