I think that the naming of Chikn Patties, Tofurkey and the like is:
a. Imply that it is meant as a substitute for given meat
b. it's a marketing ploy
BTW, SiN, how is the Tofurkey? I've been wanting to purchase some, but the price is pretty high if it's not any good.
I'm glad to see that there are a variety of opinions on this subject.
Also, I think this thread kinda shows the total respect that all TFP members show towards each other. A thread like this was posted on another site (a good one, also, don't get me wrong) and it turned into nothing but a flamewar with vegans condemning meateaters as murderers (not all the vegans did this) and the meateaters calling the vegs hippies or stupid (once again, not all did this, but the most vocal ones did). It's wonderful to see that there's a place on the net that supports open discussion and respect. All hail TFP!
