Sometimes, and maybe I am just being harsh, I wonder why people who eat things like 'tofu dogs' don't just eat hot dogs. I mean, they obviously miss the meat, and don't take issue with eating something that is mimicing what they gave up, so what is the point? Just seems like the veg*n equivalent to burning something in effigy, sure it's not the REAL thing, but that is what it is intended to mimic.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01760009169211682230noreply@blogger.com
