I've never been a big fan of fake meat. If I want to eat meat, I go for the real thing, and if I want to eat vegetables, there are plenty of options there. I don't like food that pretends to be something it isn't.
Here, Jesus is asking people if they'd buy salt that didn't taste like salt. Salt was (and remains) precious, as a flavor enhancer as well as a preservative. But if salt isn't salty... then it's not good for much.
He's telling us about the role of the church. The church has a part to play in the world -- we're called to be witnesses to the Good News of the Gospel. We're called to be servants. To tell the world about our hope in Christ.
If the church isn't doing that, then what is our role in the world? What purpose are we serving? We're called to be active and involved, so that the world may see the light of Christ shining in us and through us.
