Of course, healthy eating is important, but there are other factors influencing whether meat lovers like Graham could be persuaded to try plant-based alternatives. These include things like the taste, color and texture of the sausage- in other words, whether a plant-based sausage looks and feels like real meat.

If you've heard about Meat-free Mondays or Veganuary, you probably know about a trend which an increasing number of people are trying-to reduce, or even stop, eating meat.

Oh this is from a friend who doesn't realize that regular tweets are in the public domain- and that anyone in the world could read them if they wanted to.
