I hate veganism and vegetarianism in all their forms. But I find it baffling that I keep seeing this "why do they want their food to look/taste like meat" question. It's pretty simple, they like meat, they think killing animals is wrong, they want their ethical choices to have minimal impact on their diets, they choose ersatz versions of meat. Channel the hate look at it a different way the more vegans The more choice you get when choosing your cut of meat

The strive for veggies and vegans to desperately find alternatives that have meat taste and texture beggars the question.....why not eat the real thing? That's more of a marketing tool, vegetarians tend not to buy the meat looking substitutes, it's more of people wanting to eat less meat that buy it I've found.

It's pretty simple, they like meat, they think killing animals is wrong, they want their ethical choices to have minimal impact on their diets, they choose ersatz versions of meat. I often think about giving up meat but it's things like the occasional steak, burger or bacon sarnie that convince me not to. I do this thing once a week (via an app) where I pay 4 quid and I can then go to my local supermarket and they'll give me a bunch of random products (worth 12 quid or more at full value) that are nearing their sell by date. It's a lottery so you have no choice over what they give you (unless you specify that you're a veggie). It could be ready meals, meat products, yoghurts, butter, etc. In any case, last week as part of my pickup I got a pack of vegetarian nuggets and I couldn't believe how much they tasted like chicken. Even the texture was spot on. I've always been skeptical of veggie food, but it's the first time I've ever eaten a veggie substitute that made me think it possible to switch to the dark side.

Reminds me of when my eldest went 'veggie', I thought he'd just stopped eating red meat and was convinced he'd eaten a chicken pasta meal the week before so when I cooked the evening meal of chicken burgers I did one each for him and his girlfriend, on eating it he said "Dad, this really tastes like chicken" Me - That's cos it is Him - no, honest I couldn't tell the difference. Me - that's cos there is no difference, it's chicken. Him - I didn't know they could make veggie stuff taste this authentic. Me - (losing patience somewhat) They didn't, it's fucking chicken!! He wasn't too happy and denied eating any chicken the previous week He was veggie for a year or so I think, lost some weight (that to be fair he's never put back on) then went back to eating anything he liked.

Never heard of that before but that's a cracking idea at saving on waste.

Seriously considering becoming one, or at least a non meat-eater. Any tips, any stories of any conversions to that way of eating - are you strict about looking for the little green circle with the V in it, or is it just a case of not eating actual meat, if enough people were to forsake meat, would look after itself (eg. If a cow is killed primarily for beef and beef first and foremost, there's no appetite for it, then surely there would have to be an alternative to leather as Leather would just be a by-product?) Anyway, discuss - genuinely interested to hear of people's views, and stories if there's some veggies and vegans on here (would guess there's a few) as an aside question to those Veggies and Vegans - do you think the choice/standard/cost of meat alternatives is more friendly to average Joe, and do you think that a market based on plant alternatives will end up being more cost effective over the next generation? Dude you could go low meat and see how you find it. Baby steps. But I'd recommend veganism to anyone. I feel great on it. Vegetarianism is pretty cool too
