What are decent-minded, US Christian conservatives to do if they want
to watch a film without upsetting their sensibilities? Now they can

A few years ago, it dawned on American food manufacturers there was an
intriguing hole in the market to fill: vegetarians who wanted to eat
hamburgers while remaining vegetarian, or vegans who had a craving for
egg salad.
Today, the supermarkets are filled with bean curd-based meatless
burgers and eggless egg salads, and they are hot sellers. Vegan caf=E9s
boast menus filled with bacon, steak and all manner of other forbidden
items that have been made safe for the meat-averse.
