Never ceases to amaze me why vegetarians & vegans would want their meat substitutes to look like the 'real thing'. And seem to be prepared to pay at least twice the price of the real thing for the privilege.
I don't wish to belittle the subject or these well-meaning people. But they are about as much use for the environment as all those 'celebrities' who went off to the Google jolly in the Mediterranean in 140 private jets and dozens of mega yachts to talk climate change last month. Or St. Greta of Thunberg with her publicity stunt trip across The Atlantic to do the same. Obviously she can’t use a plane, because she’ll be called a hypocrite. And she’s done just that, by making the trip on a 60-foot racing yacht. Naturally, this has made all her disciples very happy, but what’s the message? That the half a million people who fly every day from Europe to America should use a £15m yacht instead? And take four weeks to do it? It gets worse, because if you examine the yacht she’s using, it’s not as green as you might imagine. First of all, it is equipped with a diesel engine. And second, it’s made mostly from carbon fibre, which cannot be recycled effectively, and which uses 14 times more energy to produce than steel. Which can be recycled very easily indeed. What St. G of T is doing, then, is precisely the opposite of what she is setting out to achieve. And so, I fear are those who think emotional energy can power the world.
