I'd encourage young people to eat some quality red meat once in a while. If only to have a reference point for veggie meat when thats the main source. Some producers will be better at recreating the taste than others.
Edit: To clarify. We're talking about USDA grade A beef, all cuts. For the same price as a fast food burger meal, someone once in a while can patronize a popular local food truck. Go to the supermarket and buy some decent hamburger meat. A small steak, fajitas strips, beef cubes and some veggies.
They can go to a local restaurant. Or even a chain restaurant. Lots of low cost options out there.
Believe its a good thing that we are transitioning to a meatless society. Human beings were able to build a civilization in part on eating red meat. Which we've done for hundreds of thousands of years. We're changing things in a relatively short span. Future generations who grow up in a largely meatless society should be able to eat as well as their ancestors did. If there isnt some kind of standard, its all going to taste like processed food. Not a great legacy

Dude, 15lbs? How long were you there??
And please describe the foods 
We were there for 30 days. The first week or so I was still on KETO. And then ... One night I had the munchies and it was late, everyone was sleeping and it was every man for himself. So I ate some "hachapuri" a kind of cheese pie baked in the oven. And it all went downhill from there. Then I learned that hachapuri comes in different styles because in every region there is a local variety. My favorite was the type that's made with layers of dough and cheese, kind of lasagna style. Then there are eggplant rolls with walnut paste stuffing or " illagio" which is like unsweetened corn pudding with cheese. Also " mamal-igha" made from corn flour, I especially like the deep fried variety, forgot the name. My wife likes " satsivi" meat cooked in walnut paste- broth. It's a meat lover's paradise, too bad I don't eat meat tho. Another Georgian classic is "khinkhali" it's like an oversized dumpling that has a special handle by which you hold it upsidedown. As you bite this mother -of-all dumplings, the meat inside is surrounded by broth which only stays together if you hold it upsidedown.
Then there is local dry wine starting at 2-3$ a bottle, not to mention seasonal fruit. We were there during apricot season. Let me tell you, the type of apricots that are sold there are simply not exported because for export you need half ripe ones that would make it to your destination. Imagine biting into an apricot and having honey-like juice drip down your chin. Sweet like candy and the aroma!!! Oh man
You were doing keto, and you don’t eat meat? Good grief, sounds like punishment. 
I fell off the keto wagon months ago… still trying to get back on. Cheating on keto is a slippery slope.
I stopped eating meat in 2000 or 2001 so it's quite natural to me by now. You are right tho, keto without meat is definitely a challenge. I am a very lucky man tho, my wife has gone above and beyond to cook more fish and eggs and everything else in-between to make it less of a punishment. She bakes her own keto- friendly bread for example. Homemade mayo is my favorite
