3. I agree. If you don't eat meat

for any reason at all, why in the world would you want something that is supposedly a lot like the meat you won't eat.

I'm a happy omnivore myself, so I cheerfully eat the real thing, but if I didn't eat meat I'd just not eat meat.

I also think that a great many vegans and vegetarians do not understand that we did evolve as omnivores, eating a pretty decent variety of foods, and depending on exactly which ancient group you're talking about, our distant ancestors by no means ate the same diet in different parts of the world.

But if someone chooses not to eat various categories of food, that's fine. Just don't think I ought to eat the same way.
