   An interesting study just out in Australia:
   https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/on-the-inside/515266/what-kind-of-diner-are-you-6-types-of-diners-who-avoid-plant-based-meat-dishes

   I think I'm closest to a Type 4. I prefer to eat vegetables that are honest about their identity, and not heavily processed into masquerading as meat.
   That said, when I go out for dinner it's a special occasion, and I'm more likely to order something with meat.

   I don't know why the study focusses on restaurant meals instead of the more common home meals. At home I eat meatless dinners about 3/4 of the time (and always meatless breakfast & supper).

   What type are you?

     @DMakarios Yeah i'm with you I think - I don't mind half a cauliflower spiced up to taste like a roast, but not a fan of meatless sausages and steaks. I've tried them, they're edible, but i'd rather eat real food not ersatz.

     Although as an Aussie, in a country where (edible!) roos hit plague proportions every so often - and cows are normally free range because half the country is grazing land with or without cows - I don't even really understand why they're so desperate to turn everyone vegan...
