In practice, after several decades of vegetarianism, its become a habit. And there are other issues around resource usage and health. Also, after you stop eating meat, the bacteria in your gut that digest it tend to die off so if you start again suddenly you're liable to get severe indigestion. Lentil flatulence is bad enough ...

I had a load of good friends over to my house for a weekend of frivolities. We had a great time together and as host, I subjected them to some fine home cooking that even the wonderfully Michelin starred norrahe would be proud of.
However, there were two veggies and the concept of the the famous hyperD Cooked English Breakfast would make the aforementioned a trifled hot under the collar.
Sneakily, I had researched beforehand a great way to make veggie bacon [all power to t'interweb Googily thing]. Using my chefs set of samurai Global knifes, I finely sliced pieces of tofu into rasher shapes and marinated them in maple syrup and salt for 48 hours and slow baked them until crispy.
Not a word of complaint was uttered as the meaties and the veggies delved into the mornings cuisinary delights.
Imagine, to my utter chagrin, when I'd realised I'd got the orders the wrong way round...

The test-tube burger would be made from stem cells taken from a cow. So a vegan couldn't eat it - animal product. A vegetarian might be able to, depending on their sect.

I've had to put up with one too many preachy veggies who went on about animal rights. Though it was quite amusing to point out to them that the beer or wine they were drinking wouldn't qualify as veggie kosher.

The 'finings' used to make the yeast drop out of some beers and wine is made by scraping the swim bladder of a Rudd fish, or sturgeon. You wonder what else they tried before they discovered that....
But I eat fish, and drink beer and wine, so that's OK.
I have no interest in proseletysing. But when people object to me being 'fussy' or complain because we can't go down the Carvery if I'm in the group I tend to get a bit smug and point out the figures on heart disease, strokes and cancer and life expectancy, and that veggies are smarter than carnivores.
