Why do they even make meat-..

Ok my sister is vegan, not just vegetarian for the "sake of the animals". Problem is some of the foods she still can eat are knockoffs of actual meat made from vegetable products, like tofurkey and such. What I can't get is if they are so hardcore against eating meat, wouldn't eating foods attempting to be like meat be just as wrong in their mindset? The vegan life does a hell of a lot of good for my sister too, she always has this ashen gray pallor to her skin, her hair is thin and wispy and if she gets a cut or a scrape she will still have it on her skin like 6 months after the fact. Going vegetarian is ok if you really want to do it but I think this vegan stuff is really about just one more way to radicalize some ordinary activity everyone else does like eating.

I agree. Maybe it's for people who are borderline and just can't kick that meat loving life. I am amazed at the number of vegans and vegetarians that don't like vegetables. There are a lot of them that are just plain fussy eaters. There is an element of attention seeking. But I do know some people who philosophically don't want to eat me and don't eat that erzatz crap. I bet many people have had a good vegetarian meal and never even thought of it as such - say a nice salad, garlic bread and spaghetti marinara. You don't think of it as vegetarian because it isn't some bizarre collection of substitutions like a Tofurkey Thanksgiving.
