Year Of The Plant Butcher

Loving this rundown on a number of different shops and restaurants focused on creating long-standing vegetarian solutions through the practice of recreating meats by Butchering Plants. Yes, they're calling them Plant Butchers; as the end result is a meat-y creation but no animals were harmed in its creation.

I've been thinking about vegetarianism quite a bit lately. My girlfriend doesn't eat meat and I've found that it's pretty effortless to eschew it entirely. I don't, personally, understand the need to have Fake Meat the route to get people to comprehend that eating vegetarian isn't "boring" but whatever gets people there, I'm for.

If you're the thoughtful type, give Cowspiracy a viewing to educate yourself on the unsustainability of livestock to feed the masses of our world. At the very least, give it some consideration and visit one of these new restaurants if they're in your area.
