Interesting. What sort of options are you referring to?
Most of the meat alternatives.
I have come to hate the term plant based because it is usually very highly processed. Plus I never actually liked meat anyway so actually don't want something resembling meat.
To me, if I can't make it myself at home, it's highly processed. So tofu, seiten and Tempeh I can make at home, (as I can and do, and also cashew cheeses, almond cheeses, yoghurt etc), though we don't eat seiten for other reasons. The rest is out of the window. My idea of a burger or sausage involves identifiable components... not something that looks and frankly tastes horrendous and smells like vomit.
And yes, I can't stand the radical vegans either, but i also can't stand the radical meat eaters, carnivore and the likes who like nothing better than to try to provoke. It goes both ways.
Personally, I am vegetarian minus dairy (due to anaphylactic shock allergy). I generally don't eat honey, but that's a personal thing, it's too sweet but we do have a tub of local honey at home. I obviously eat eggs, but only from my own chickens. When out, I don't eat anything other than vegan. If my chooks are not laying, we don't eat eggs.
I don't agree with a lot of the vegan alternatives away from the food side of life because they involve too much plastic. My balance is towards the environment so I do knit with wool that meets certain ethical standards (it is biodegradable). I wear wool, mostly really old stuff from 25 years ago, plus what I've knitted. I do use & wear a lot of bamboo, cotton & hemp. I don't do beeswax. Frankly bees need all the help they can get and there are plenty of friendly alternatives. And so on.
It's a balance between veganism and the environment that frankly the radical 1% haven't worked out. But the same is also true for carnivores, meat eaters and so on.
It's also why I hasn't posted on this thread before. The topic is frankly an unlit grenade.
