Is this a big enough deal to be taking sides and arming up? I stopped eating dead animals about 45 years ago. Not vegan. Back in those days it was a real strange thing to do and loved ones begged me to "eat normal" and predicted I would end up seriously ill or die. Never happened and I feel fine.Over the years I have had my share of randoms button-holing me to say I am all wrong and unnatural and all that but I just brush them off.
The fake meat which everyone is pushing is NOT aimed at people like me and I don't buy the stuff. Its a wrong assumption that people stop eating meat so they can feel woke, but still crave it, so they have to buy the fake stuff as a poor replacement.
Fake meats in supermarkets are purely a marketing push and the stuff is damn expensive for what it is. The fake stuff is aimed at people who want to save money, somehow improve their health, or save the planet. Or some mix of all three. The fake meat manufacturers are happy to take these people's money and I don't see the harm.
