   @afewbugs - at the risk of making things worse but in hope of making them better… by my reading @Infoseepage was just responding to this sentence – "There really is no need to eat meat when vegan alternatives are this good" – to say that cost is a reason.

   ie it wasn't a criticism of your delicious looking meal or of the existence of meat substitutes (which should be zero-VAT rated imho to lower cost), just adding a clarification to that sentence.

     @laurasophiegolightly @Infoseepage Look, I agree with you that we're in a very bad place in wealthy Western societies where a lot of people can't afford nutritious food, and I would like to see more people reduce the amount of animal products they consume because of the horrendous impact the industrial animal agriculture system is having on animal welfare, the planet, and human health. But in the end I am just one little nerd whose lovely wife cooked her a delicious dinner last night. Whatever your issue is with meat substitutes I am not responsible for it and can't really do much about it
