I appreciate that we humans should be eating more plant-based food and rather less meat but I do find the tone of some current articles on vegan alternatives a bit weird. We are already familiar with vegan sausages and beetroot-blooded 'hamburgers' but we are now facing vegan 'fish' dishes (https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2019/jan/05/supermarkets-offer-vegan-fish). This, reportedly will include 'fishless fingers', potato-based smoked salmon along with prawn and tuna replacements. The reason I find it weird is that (even though these products might help people ditch/reduce meat and fish ingestion) what is essentially being signed up to is a bunch of totally artificial foods manufactured by companies. I could well imagine such products, under other circumstances, being attacked as ersatz. Surely some vegan foods are tasty enough in their own right?
