VEGAN VENTURES A NEW GENERATION OF FAKE MEATS?
2
In todays society, there are so many diets
vegetarian, pescetarian, paleo, vegan, and many
more. Quite often its more than a simple dietary
decision peoples diets are tied in with ethics,
the environment, anti-corporatism, wanting to eat
local the list goes on. Veganism is a diet that
goes hand in hand with a persons morals many
vegans choose not to use any animal products
including silk, leather, or honey. Those that
choose not to eat animals for ethical reasons
still may miss the flavor and experience of
eating meat. After all, it can be hard to go to a
burger joint and order a salad while everyone
else is having a cheeseburger. For those special
occasions where meat is missed, a generation of
fake meats has emerged to cater your every need.

Because diet trends are so prevalent in the
Western world, it is common knowledge that there
are many protein-rich foods around the world that
serve as alternates to meat tofu, tempeh, soy
beans, veggie burgers, etc.  But for those who
miss meat, there is a whole new line of
substitutes  Tofurkey, Fakin Bacon, Tofu-Pups,
Mock duck. Seitan For many new vegans, fake
meat is a good transition food moving from a hot
dog to a Tofu-pup. Its nice that for traditions
such as Christmas dinner or Easter Sunday, being
a vegan doesnt mean that you must be removed
from dinner. These alternatives allow seamless
modifications at events such as picnics and
BBQs, where, previously, one might have felt
like an outsider.

For those that did experience the growing pains
of going to a restaurant and having to first
suffer through explaining what a vegan is to the
server, followed by having only a bland salad or
a baked potato as your options, it is very
refreshing to see that there are now many vegan
options on menus and in supermarkets. There is an
array of vegan cheese, mayo, ice cream, milk, and
meats. There are so many cookbooks, recipes,
motivational speakers from all backgrounds, and
projects promoting awareness. Not only are there
many more options, but there is a new emphasis on
creating tasty and nutritious food not just a
substitute.
Vegan Meat Options are Abundant

• Another great reason fake meat protein is a good
  choice is that its a more sustainable option
  compared to the animal-based variety for
  countries like China and India, where populations
  are expanding rapidly with no room for animal
  agriculture. Fake meat is faster and does not
  rely on antibiotics, while also not causing
  health issues like high cholesterol and saturated
  fats. Also, for those who may not want to
  completely abandon meat but still cut back, fake
  meats fill the void of no protein on a given
  dish.
• Some argue that if you are trying to transition
  from being a meat eater to choosing a vegan
  lifestyle, these fake meats may actually hurt
  your digestive process. Tofu can only be compared
  to tofu it is not trying to be anything else.
  But Tofurkey will immediately be compared to
  turkey.  If vegan meat stands as its own
  category, then it is a great step in a new
  direction. Some people find it as a less than
  satisfying than actual meat.

Fake Meat A Sustainable Choice, but Different

• One problem with fake meat is its very
  processed you are removing a natural source
  (organic) and replacing it with packaged foods.
  Can this not have a negative effect on the
  environment? It is arguably using more energy,
  real or fake, so if the one reason to remove meat
  is to have a positive effect on the environment,
  it would seem counter-intuitive. Equally so, if
  the idea behind being vegan is to not promote
  harming animals, then maybe there should be a
  switch from marketing food as fake meat to
  vegan protein.

Increased Processing Vs. Animal Cruelty?

• Regardless of your motivation, its hard to argue
  that factory farms arent the best way forward
  for an ever-growing global population. Thus,
  choosing to eliminate meat and replace it with a
  new generation of fake meats may be a way to help
  the planet. And for those that have made the
  change to a vegan lifestyle, its a great thing
  to have more tasty options.
