I'm not a vegetarian, but I fully understand their problem with how the decidedly minority and very loud vegan voice is being favored over the vegetarian choice.

As has been mentioned before on various articles about vegan vs vegetarian, it is indeed possible to eat a truly LC/healthy diet as a vegetarian, since vegetarian meals include dairy and eggs. You don't need to live on bread and vegetable oils.

Most menus already had a vegan option on the menu: that garden salad is all vegetables. Order that with an oil and vinegar dressing, and you're set.

What this article points out is that the vegan option being offered often includes fake meat, a highly processed food, and the real irony being that they don't want meat, they just want something that looks and tastes like meat.

At least vegetarians are owning their diet choice - no meat.
