Vegetarian and vegan substitutes for meat have gained a significant share of the market, partly because of health considerations and partly because of aversion to killing harmless animals for food. But the livestock group fears that consumers are being cruelly misled. It wants the Department of Agriculture to stop not only the use of these brand names but any term suggesting that there is such a thing as \u201csynthetic beef\u201d or \u201cvegan meat.\u201d It complains that Beyond Meat offers what it calls a \u201ca plant-based burger that smells, tastes, looks and even feels like ground beef\u201d&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>People buy almond milk not because they think it contains cow\u2019s milk but because they know it doesn\u2019t.

If you go online in search of vegetarian or vegan foods, you will find such websites as \u201cFake Meats\u201d and \u201cThe Vegetarian Butcher.\u201d They are not trying to fool anyone&#8230; The desires of consumers and the advance of science are converging in a way that is likely to remake our food system.
