>I always wondered if the animal rights type of vegetarians eat this stuff, I would suppose they consider it a grotesque display or a mockery to dress up plant matter as animal murder.
Well, yes, your wondering is exactly right. Long-time vegan here. (I think most "animal rights type of vegetarians" are vegan–what's done to cows in the dairy industry isn't pretty.) Butchers, ads for eating lambs etc start to seem horrific. I'm not at all interested in fake meat. Yes, the very idea seems grotesque. There's plenty of delicious vegetarian cuisine from around the world without needing or wanting fake meat, fake cheese etc. I haven't missed, wanted or craved meat once in..uh..gee, almost 30 years.
I like how both comments are ethically compatible with a vegan sitting at the same table, gobbling up an entire impossible burger and replying with a full mouth, "That's exactly what I was thinking!"
Hi. I think "both comments" means, mine and the person I was replying to? It seems you're commenting on my comment more than replying to it..but further than that, I have no idea at all what you mean, sorry.
