Exactly. Around 32% with a Gregg's one but there again only if you include cheek, gristle, sinew, tongue, fat and a few hairy nostrils.
I pay top dollar for this in St John.

It really isn't a difficult concept to grasp. A large number of Vegetarians were meat eaters for a long time and made a conscious decision so stop eating meat. But not because they don't like the taste of meat. You might as well ask why people who give up alcohol drink alcohol free beer/wine. Or diabetics eat sugar free products. Standard social media reply - I don't agree with something so no-one else should do it.
Because a lot of vegetarians and vegans are such for ethical reasons ........ It’s a very simple concept really... I myself avoid meat tasting products but fully understand why others like them.
It’s not difficult to grasp but they really do seem to struggle with the concept don’t they!
I like meat but have greatly reduced my consumption over the past year out of concern for animal welfare and environmental reasons. I shall probably go all the way and go veggie in the not too distant future. Having a convincing meat substitute would definitely help.
However, I applaud your coining of the word "meatetarian". It makes me smile.
Am l the only one amazed at how a thread about the humble sausage roll, can amass over 100 posts?
Then surely ethically they wouldn't want to make non-meat products look like they are eating a dead animal, would they ?.
.
Are you seriously comparing the moral and ethical decision to not eat a sentient being and making non-meat based food taste/ look similar? Just... wow...
No I'm not.
I am simply curious as to why someone who doesn't want to eat sentient beings for moral and ethical reasons, would want to make it appear as if they are.
You are overthinking my curiosity as to the appearance of food....just wow...
How many more times does it need to be explained? How do you manage to even log onto a computer?
Why do vegetarians/vegans want to replicate meat, make it look like meat, taste like meat...why ? Be vegetarian eat it as it is.
After all meatetarians don't try and make their steak look like a carrot do they ?
Absolute classic thicko twunt argument.
WOW, it's true, vegetarians can be quite defensive
Yes it is. Alcohol free beer/wine is beer/wine with the alcohol (one ingredient) removed leaving the rest, a beer is a beer irrelevant of the alcohol content. Same with diabetic products as per your own example.
It is not making something look like something it is not.
Then surely ethically they wouldn't want to make non-meat products look like they are eating a dead animal, would they ?.
Don't struggle at all, quite often eat vegetarian meals. (I just don't pretend it's meat !)
Your concern for animal welfare is admirable, but if you are going to become a vegetarian then your meat substitute does not need to look or taste like meat unless you want to hark back to the time when you used to enjoy it.
I'm pleased you like the term meatetarian.
Apparently read by someone incapable of answering without using insults. That says everything really.

Are you normally this angry and touchy when asked a question ?
Now please explain to me one last time, (in words you think I might understand if that helps you), why someone who doesn't want to eat sentient beings for moral and ethical reasons, would want to make it appear as if they are.
I would appreciate a reasonable answer without the need to resort to an insult as that serves no-one. Thank you.
People grow up eating meat, I did, ate it pretty much everyday and enjoyed the taste and everything. When I chose to give it up taste had nothing to do with it, it was purely because I didn’t want to eat animals both for their sake and the environments. I grew up eating sausage rolls, burgers etc and when I make a meal sometimes I want comfort food that reminds of what I used to eat, without all the bad stuff.
Nowadays after a few years of not eating meat i don’t crave meat itself but instead really enjoy the substitutes. Burgers, sausages etc are just shapes, they don’t come off the cow looking like that (as much as the industry would love people to believe it works like that) so there is absolutely nothing strange about making soy/bean/whatever products look like that
It’s a tired and lazy attempt at derision, only worthy of derision itself. Your further replies show youre not looking for an answer only looking to wind people up. So thicko twunt still stands.
No I'm not.
