Stop lying, those vegan dishes don't take less time to prepare and cook. I cook most of my food from scratch so I have quite a bit of experience. Cooking foods that you prepare from scratch usually takes a lot longer than eating outside or processed junk, but one must make some sacrifices to reap the benefits. You're trying to make it seem like going vegan is a smooth transition, but in reality it's a radical change in one's lifestyle where they would have to make sacrifices in order to gain perceived benefits.
Stop lying? I wouldn't lie to you man. Have you even prepared one of those dishes or not? This is from my personal experience. Cooking meat took a shitload of time, I had to let the meat thaw from the freezer, I had to cut the meat one by one, use up some oil, put it into a frying pan, let it sizzle, wait by the food, flip it over, etc, it just took a shitload of time. That vegan burger literally heats up in a minute or two no oil required. I'm not even lying or exaggerating. To prepare a salad, all you do is grab vegetables from the refrigerator, put it on a plate, add some sauce for flavor, then eat. To eat non-processed foods like fruit, all you do is grab the fruit, open it up, and eat. Where am I lying here? Try it, prepare a vegetarian or vegan food like those above, and it is basically instantaneous. I am surprised you even called me a liar.
The transition to not eating meat varies from person to person. I'm not saying it will be an easy transition for everyone, it depends on how willing you are to do your own research about the subject. See, if you were interested in becoming vegetarian, you would at least look up information about it, then you would try it out. For example pretty much 99% of anything you can eat is vegetarian. Read some more tips and advice from people, apply those, and it makes the transition a lot easier. You assumed I was making it seem like an easy transition, because it is, But like I said, it just depends on how you look at it and how willing you are to apply it.
Also, there aren't any sacrifices man. None. No sacrifices at all. The only thing you would gain from it are benefits and if you think about it, you know that what I'm saying is true.
So for a salad you don't have to wash vegetables? Some leafy greens like parsley and cilantro have lots of dirt in them and need a very thorough wash. That sure takes time. Then the cutting board has to get pulled out; surely those vegetables don't just cut themselves. And who wants unhealthy store-bought salad dressing? Gotta make your own there too.
By the way, your examples don't count because you're eating already prepared food that simply has to be cooked or is ready-to-eat, so there is very little preparation involved. If I brought you raw soybeans and asked you to make me a veggie burger, I'm sure there's going to be a lot of steps involved (soaking the dry beans overnight, then boiling them, then grinding them up with other stuff, then shaping them into patties, etc).
I personally wouldn't want to be eating a meat/meatless burger regularly unless I was the one grinding it up and knowing exactly what goes into it. I guess you're a comfort-food type of person, so you don't really spend much time preparing food. Many types of meals made from scratch are time-consuming, whether they contain meat or not.
Btw, eating a fruit isn't really considered a meal, more like a treat or snack. And some fruits take a bit of work, like pomegranates for example.
now i raise chikuns..........soon they will arise 
. There are plenty of hypocrites around but plenty of true veggies and vegans too.
