be honest with themselves? I don't understand that..
I like some of the substitute meats, especially in burgers and sausages.
More variety on my plate. Lovely! After 30 years of being veggie I still
lust after my Mum's cottage pie but to eat it is a big no no.. so
anything that fulfills my dream without actually having real animal in
is fine with me.
maybe there's a difference in WHY some of us don't eat meat.
Honestly!
