TL;DR: the meat industry's misleading messaging campaign + lobbying

Just eat some damn falafel, people - it's not hard to make, it doesn't pretend to be anything other than a plant, and bulk dry chickpeas are cheap as fuck and last forever.

Falafel doesn't taste like a cheeseburger. Beyond burgers taste like tasty cheeseburgers.

Yeah, falafel sandwiches taste better

As a meat eater I agree. Part of the backlash probably is the promise of the replacement patties tasting like meat - for me they absolutely do not. Falafel on the other hand is great.

Falafel can either be the most delicious thing you've eaten in a year, or a bland, dry mound of sadness, and there's no in between.

I do find that a good sauce can mitigate overly dry falafel, but some are just better than others.
