While fantastic, the Meat Neutral Concept, seems to step on some toes, especially in the presence of “traditional vegetarians.” This is because quite often the choice to not eat meat is grounded in the desire to reduce one’s ecological footprint. The idea being that deriving our diet from meat sources is an inefficient way to make up our diet.
This is a valid reason for being a vegetarian and we respect those choices, however, we would like to point out a reality … many vegetarian dishes (which are delectable cuisines on their own) quite often are better with meat. This is not to say that vegetarianism is inherently flawed or an inferior culinary persuasion – after all it was our love of a particular vegetarian dish that founded the Meat Neutral concept (Bacon Cheese Falafel Burgers). You will be happy to know that vegetarianism was the spawn of this work of gastronomic fusion.
After all we like veggies too!

For years and years I’ve struggled with wanting to eat the right foods. The ethical (and female impressing) choice has clearly been vegitarianism. But meat complements these meals so well it is a sin to avoid.
Thank you for finding the solution to my sanctimonious nature and persisting adoration for a complementory meat component in every meal!
