They still like the taste of meat but can't abide the inherent cruelty that goes with its production. Having a product that allows them to virtually swap like for like makes it easier to keep to their chosen diet and gives them more variety of meal options. | |||

"I still don't get it sorry. If I wanted a change I wouldn't choose something that looked like what I wanted a change from." No, clearly you don't "get it", or understand why vegans and vegetarians choose to abandon meat and (in the case of vegans) dairy produce. It's not about abandoning the taste, flavours or textures of the animal derived produce, but abandoning the practice that is cruel to animals and the environment, while not being great for our health. Education is your key to understanding. | |||

As an omnivore the meat is still in the meat section being meat and I can still eat and buy it. It's a bit like gluten free alternatives. "That's not for me". Fine. | |||

I didn't post to have my opinion challenged. Don't question my education, maybe you need to step back and not be so judgemental I have better things to do than try and justify my opinions to you so I bid you a good day. | |||

"Don't question my education, maybe you need to step back and not be so judgemental" My comment wasn't about your general education or standard of education, but about educating yourself as to why a person chooses to become vegetarian or vegan. If you took the time to educate yourself to the myriad of reasons why, then you would understand. So if anyone is being judgemental here, I assure you it is not me. I am a vegan, and made the switch for three key reasons... animal welfare, environmental protection, and personal health benefits. At no point did I choose to go vegan because I didn't like the taste, flavour or texture of the food products I was abandoning. There are many products I can have that provide the same taste sensation as the animal product it's replacing without requiring an animal to die for me to have that enjoyment. You know, like how a rampant rabbit doesn't contain rabbit, but still gets you off? On a side note, if you decide you don't want your opinions challenged when aired on a public forum (clue is in the name), it's probably best not to post. In the spirit of open and friendly debate here, we get out opinions challenged... you might learn from other peoples opinions, and they might learn from yours. | |||

" In this case it appears to be meat/dairy lobbies wanting exclusivity in terms, rather than compensation culture. It's a shame companies have to be sued to not harm people in so many cases. Or (McDonald's hot coffee case) they spend so much money trying to rewrite the narrative into greedy lady got a boo boo rather than negligent policies leading to severe injury (in a country where those injuries are paid personally out of pocket and so awards must be higher). | |||

" You'd have to be pretty dumb not to know that a veggie burger isn't meat! Right? Let's not insult our intelligence. Veggie burger in the meat free alternatives section with a picture of a plant not a cow on it. Ingredients list. Vegetarian/vegan on the front. About three steps away you'll find stuff with pictures of cows. Clues... maybe. Actually i have to go into the meat aisle to get my richmond sausages... I hate it , but love them.. Dilemma! " I can empathise. But it's not like it could be much more obvious that you're getting meat free stuff unless you had a dedicated staff member to warn you away from the icky plants | |||

"We all are natural omnivores so technically it’s no “normal” to be a vegetarian Just because we have the ability to consume a wide range of food types, it does not mean any group that does not include all food types in their diet are not normal. " I think there's a few meanings of normal being mixed up. Average, typical. Within a group, acceptable, not weird. Here it might be read as "we have this history therefore those who don't follow it are weird". I'm not here for that kind of sneaky unkind equivocation. | |||

"As a vegetarian I'm a bit sick of chicken style nuggets, vegan steak bakes etc. so I'm all for it. Why a processed and shaped food needs to be named after anything at all is anyones guess. The way been paved for this anyway. I can't believe it's not burgers. Sorted." It's just the food labelling. No one it talking about banning the products. Plus no one is forcing you to buy them, are they? | |||

"Next minute they will say you can’t call it a hamburger, because it contains no ham." Beefburgers is the proper name. They contained ham after the war and were called hamburgers then | |||

The term 'hamburger' comes from Hamburg in Germany, where a minced beef style dish was first created. And that's from McDonald's so it's gotta be true | |||

"I haven’t read the entire thread because forget that noise, it’s too long. However, I and many of my friends are veggie/vegan and we honestly don’t give a fuck what they’re called. Want to call it vegan chicken? Cool by us Want to call it “this is not chicken”? Go for it Want to call it pink alternative plant based slices? Also fine What we do find amusing is that the dairy and meat industry seem to be so frightened of this that they’re lobbying for alternative labelling as if they think it’ll make a difference (heh irony). Half of the producers of veggie/vegan “alternatives” also make products with meat and/or dairy in them so they won’t care. The other half will just use clever wording to 1) get around the law and 2) stick a big fuck you to those industries " This.. Succinct and sums it up perfectly.. no hidden agendas with newspapers or Brexit.. Common sense prevails on the doorstep of those doubters and haters | |||
