Vegetarian diet
Sir, —W. L. Rush’s defense of the “ingenious” David Young’s “simulated eggs,” of rolled oats fame (November 4), leads me to believe that these people could be quite serious. Rolled oats are bad enough, but the worst culprit is the soya bean. This cunning little number has provided the imitation food technicians with something of a wind-fall. You can now buy tins of boeuf Stroganoff that never saw a boeuf, a steak-shaped matrix tasting of imitation steak, and a meatless chook with a plastic wishbone — all thanks to flatus hispida, the soya bean. Naturally, the bogus food industry is booming in the United States where they advertise such wonders as “Strippies, the meatless bacon that never said oink.” If you ever seee me standing, swearing at a grocer’s window, you will know that “Strippies” has arrived in New Zealand. — Yours, etc., DAVID SHANKS. November 7, 1986.
