: I realise that there is a body of pussyfoot revisionist vegetarians who could n't get by without their daily dose of smelly pseudo-flesh, but I would disagree with anyone who thought that these were preferable to REAL fruit, nuts, seeds and pulses, which collectively constitute my entire diet.

: While meat analogs are definitely preferable to meat, I would agree, they are more expensive, consume more packaging, are unnatural, and once you've been on a fruitarian diet a while, as appetising as turd compared to unprocessed fruits. As you mentioned in your own piece on Taco Bell's "vegetable frejitas" or whatever, so-called vegetarian food could come straight out of the guts of a cow for all you know. Call me paranoid -I don't trust anyone, any company. I don't even eat at vegan restaurants. I don't even let my mother cook for me anymore. All you revisionists -join the revolution, give up that tofu crap and that bloody soy milk whatever it is!!!

Why is tofu any more unnatural than an apple? Do you know where soy comes from? Soy beans are one of the most nutritional items available. Perhaps you should visit a library before you post.
