I mean I think it's pretty telling that there are lots of plant based versions of meat based food, but not the other way around. Nobody is trying to replicate the taste of salads in meat form

Outside of some fad diets, there isn't really much of a push among anyone to cut plants out of your diet though. There's no need to make fake plant-products generally.

I wouldn't call Keto a fad diet at this point. It's one of the most popular diets in the world often recommended by doctors to their patients (especially patients with Type 2 Diabetes)

I mean, there's quite a bit of "faking it" for Keto as well. Trying to replicate grains and grain products in particular. Pork Rinds are advertised as an alternative to chips. And look up "Fathead Dough" recipe. Yes, some of the replacements are still plant, but the idea is to add a bunch of egg, cheese, and animal fat to bind together Almond Flour into a cohesive dough for breads and pizza crusts.
