Vegetarians - Meat replacements

[journolud]

Shopping today and looking at all the new plant based ranges , it occurred to me why do vegetarians/ vegans decide against eating meat but then choose and design food products that are designed to look and taste like the type of food they are looking to avoid? If they want a plant / vegetable based diet why not eat plants and vegetables that look like what they are rather than adding in preservatives and additives to make them look like something else?

Do you feel suitably enlightened by the responses?

I don't think us meat eaters are in any position to start judging what the veggies eat tbh.

The veggies shouldn't judge us either.

My 14 year old daughter turned veggie about 18 months ago and as I do the cooking in our house I think the meat free options are great.

It takes very little effort to substitute her meat for a plant based alternative if I'm making burgers, chilli, spag bol, sausage and mash etc. Saves me thinking of a completely different meal every night.

They are a great stepping stone for someone who's starting out on a meat free life.

Denying a pig a whole life trapped in a cage surrounded by other Pigs and pig shit. Some life that is

Yet united fans continue to buy their season tickets so they must get some enjoyment out of it.

I eat fish but not meat, but here’s the thing, I’m not a vegetarian then am I?

Just had a couple of Linda McCartneys in a sarnie with scrambled eggs & ketchup; mighty fine.
