=====================
Then why try? The substitution you make can, and some times does, cause
more animal death than if you just ate meat instead.
How many deaths go into 100lbs of tofu meat substitute? How many go into
100lbs of grass fed beef, or game?

==================
LOL And it's not isolated to sunflowers either. everything you eat has
those deaths, and more, involved. they die by the millions and millions in
all your crops just to keep your food clean, cheap, and convenient. They
also die by the millions and millions to provide for your usenet
entertainment too. But I don't see you stopping that unecessary killing.
