| I am curious.
Why do some vegetarians want to buy food that looks like meat, has the texture of a sort, of meat, smells like meat and to some I suppose tastes like meat but they wont eat meat?

| Jackson, Do you think that possibly it may have something to do with not wanting to eat food that has been bred for slaughter? I think that this possibly may have something to do with, however not being a vegetarian myself I can only guess. |

| Anyone interested - went to the south and to Alpha Mega as Andrew suggested. There is a section in the refrigeration isle at the far end that has all sorts of Quorn products of soya protein. |
