.....I guess a vegetarian's choice to not eat meat is their choice to make (and their loss in my opinion

).....

Well, that "loss" is entirely your opinion. Whenever my family and I go to a party where we are the only vegetarians, and the host(ess) has prepared a "normal" and a vegetarian version of the same dish (for example pasta salad, lasagna, etc.), it's always the vegetarian version that's eaten first. Trust me.

While I have no doubt that that is true, it definitely wouldn't be the same in my (or my family's) case

We're all closer to carnivores than omnivores it seems

Soon we won't have to kill animals to produce meat. According to this article, scientists are using stem cells to grow meat in a test tube!

Though I don't doubt that day is coming, I highly doubt it would actually taste like meat does today. If such a reality does come about, I bet "real" meat would be worth a premium compared to the "fake" meat.

If they were actually made the same, but the normal one included the meat, there would be no reason for this... Most of the time, people put extra vegetables into the "vegetarian" version, which naturally could make it taste better overall (not better than if it had the meat too, just compared to the more bland version). I've never seen a legitimate version of this, where the "normal" dish was the same as the vegetarian one plus meat...
