I stopped eating animal meat about 45 years ago. Back then it was a really weird thing to do and folk told me that my health would degenerate and I would die, and so on. I'm still perfectly fine though.
So there you go you would think that if anyone would buy the plant-based fake meats then it could be me. Our local supermarket has big shelves full all kinds of it and the most expensive one is Beyond Meat ; I think it costs so much because it is the same product imported from USA rather than made locally.
Actually I never do eat the fake meats but one day I found some Beyond Meat burgers on the "yellow stickered" shelf meaning the price cut almost to nothing because the product is on its expiry date. So I bought it. They look realistic in the packet but in fact were horrible. Fried them and as soon as I put the heat on they flooded the pan with water and the burger shrank drastically. I ate one but threw the other away.
So there you go. I doubt anyone on gaw is likely to buy that product but just in case my advice is don't.
I like McDonald's and go there often with my kids. They eat the burgers and I am OK with coffee and salad and fries and rings and all their other sides. I won't miss them dropping Beyond Meat, which I didn't buy anyway.
There was no single reason I am just not good with blood, injury and death. Witnessing a messy road accident was the final push. It's the right thing for me but I don't feel it's my call to tell my kids or anyone else what they should eat.

What was your reason for stopping and why do you 'allow' your kids to eat meat if I may ask?

Good stuff
