    ...what is your first language?

Portuguese.

Well, just like with any diet, you have to be a good chef to be able to cook flavoursome food from raw ingredients. Sadly these days, I don't think many people have a strong skill of cooking, and although vegans tend to make an extra effort, sometimes we also lack creativity. Hence why we fall for the meat substitute stuff.

I've been phasing out processed vegan food from my diet for a while. At the moment, I'd say that less than half of my meals contain maybe a bit of tofu. Everything else is from fresh ingredients, many of which I grow myself in the garden. Those are the tastiest : )

I've been trying to phase out processed foods myself, but in a region with four seasons it can be hard to do. In an ideal world, I'd have a sprawling garden where I'd grow most of my own food, so lucky you!

I agree that most people in general are not strong cooks because they don't need to be. It must be difficult sometimes as a vegan, especially living in an area where vegan products may not be as available and so there is limited variety.
