It wasn't the texture, it was the taste.
The texture of the substitutes is a lot different than real meat but it tastes pretty similar.

the funny thing is i KNOW what happens to the animals i watched kill it, cook it, eat it. and it was pretty horrid. but I still really don't feel like im the baddie for eating the meat.

My dad watched a video like that and tried to become vegetarian.
He didn't ween himself off, he just stopped eating meat cold turkey.
<--no pun intended
He couldn't stay healthy enough and began getting sick, so he had to start up again.

why don't you like touching it? i understand not eating it, but touching it is very extreme, well in my opinion, ive never heard of anyone feeling so strongly that they didnt touch meat.

I've had to touch it before.
I babysit a lot, and I have to make ham and cheese sandwiches and stuff sometimes.
I'm also a camp counselor, so sometimes I have to feed the little ones when they're running around and not paying any attention to their meal.
It's not that I stay away from touching it at all times, I just prefer not to touch it, it makes me feel sick if I think about it too much.
I won't make too much of a big deal.
There have also been a few times I ate meat without knowing.
I got really upset, but I didn't make a huge deal.
I don't preach or try to be "extreme," but I don't like non-vegetarians being that way either.
It's rude when someone's telling me how amazing their ham sandwich is or how they love their juicy steak.
I know what I'm missing, and I obviously would eat it if it had nothing to do with animals, but if I don't go around preaching my values, other people shouldn't try to sway me from them.
