Very interesting read as always. I especially liked the paragraph-by-paragraph analysis of the Shake Shack article. It is always so frustrating to me when people give me crap for liking ''''tech'''' burgers or other meat approximations. We're allowed to like yummy flavors?? I know lots of people appreciate a good black bean burger, myself included, but why can't we just like both?

We definitely can like both, I'm with you!

Being vegetarian and vegan doesn’t require eating food that resembles or tastes like meat. Vegetarian food is rich in flavor and taste beyond the realm of meat. The faux meat that is available is loaded with chemicals and preservatives.

Enjoy the essence of the plant world without chemicals and laboratory created flavouring.

Hi Joseph, of course being a vegan doesn't require eating food that tastes like meat. We can choose to eat something just because we like the taste, have a craving, it's what is easily available, or we just want to try something new.

I can enjoy the chemicals that make up whole fruits and vegetables along with the chemicals in vegan gummy bears, ice cream, and potato chips.

This newsletter does not tolerate people who promote chemophobia and shame other people for their food choices.
