It's a "brigade" now? But it's true, you can make something taste
like meat without killing an animal. Soy is not required. (Where did
you get that idea?) Chemicals are often used, that's still a problem.
Not more chemicals than you consume on a daily basis in all your
supermarket products, but still.

PS: Nobody has any expectations about you trying fake meat. Why would
you? You eat dead animals.
