I said in another thread recently that I don't really get why vegetarians want their substitutes to look like meat products . . . you either like and eat meat or you don't (and it may be a myth, but I learned when I was a kid that Paul & Linda McCartney used to cook up a batch of macaroni cheese on Christmas Eve, let it cool then mould into shape of a turkey for carving on the day )
But each to their own. Live and let live, I say . . . the only living things I have a problem with being killed are the really small ones. A cow is one life that feeds many for weeks, but a tiny little bird or a squirrel? You pick that out of your teeth!
So one of my mantras applies . . . just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
