I get the cheesy bean and rice burrito all the time cus for $1 it's insanely good value. More filling and cheaper than a bean burrito and better. Generally I got for meat over beans for more protein but stuff at taco bell is all carbs either way, there's so little meat on it.
Same! 
(ordering it without the jalapeno sauce and cheese though). $1 is crazy for how filling it is (mmmm carbs!)
Eating low carb and vegan would take planning and a lot of protein shakes. Nuts and seeds are Atkins-friendly though. I'm small and shoot for around 80g protein a day (roughly 1.33 g/kg), and the extra carb-Calories are welcomed.

Imitation beef (not bean burgers) is part of the process of getting meat eaters to try going without beef and be converted. If I've eaten 3 burgers a week for 20 years, it is going to be hard to get me to stop. A "looks, tastes, and feels like beef" burger is the first step in getting me to think differently.
Or you could try something different.
I don't go out to restaurants to eat something I could cook myself.

Actually, bison is probably a first step. Or a stent. Or hummus. Its like going from Chicago style to NY. You have to be open already to something different. Otherwise it's just inferior.

I don't want something else. I want a burger.
The "just eat something else" argument, if followed to its end, has us all drinking soylent green or eating insect bricks.
"Soylent Green....!"
Since you were arguing about form not content your argument could just as easily lead to soylent green burghers.

If they can make it taste like a meat burger, hell yeah, why not?

My mom really likes lilacs. She says that the lilacs in our backyard bloomed a full four weeks earlier this year than they did last year, and that this is abnormal and disconcerting.
Also, everyone who can be convinced to reduce meat consumption has already been convinced.
When I watch 'liberals', they don't really care about the fact that meat literally has a marginal damage effect
14-18% of human greenhouse gas emissions are caused by animal agriculture. Thats nowhere near as much as fossil fuels but its hardly marginal either.

'Marginal' in the economic sense. As in, buying meat has a very easily traced pathway to increasing the problem
There was last week on Dutch TV an episode of a consumers program showing that most cheap deepfreeze "hamburgers" in the big retail contained more than 50% chicken.

Most people buying them not aware... not bothered.
