  • While I agree that there is much more to vegan than just meat replacements, and personally I don’t care what they call it. There are a couple of arguments for recreating meat:

    1. It sells. And in this world: if it sells, people will keep making it.
    2. Being vegetarian, vegan or someone who wants to cut back on their meat eating, doesn’t mean that they don’t like the taste and feel of meat. Some might do it for the environment or animal suffering. But they still like that meat taste and want a replacement.
    3. One does not exclude the other: you can have both meat replacements and non meat looking vegan stuff. Which there are BTW
    4. Its funny: especially the vegetarian butcher has some clever wordplays
    5. Live and let live I guess



















  • I read an interview a while back with an wine expert (I can’t find it anymore of course…), who said that recently more wine producers have started to use bentonite (which is a sort of clay) instead of animal products to fine the wine, because it is readily available and cheaper. So more and more wines are vegan even though they’re not labeled as such. It’s still good to be thorough though and hope more wine producers start using bentonite.
