*shrug*. I find this fairly irrelevant. I've been vegetarian for 8 years, I guess, and, yeah, I would not say it's healthier, other than avoiding some things like the various scary bits about how the body (and bacteria that live in the body) process red meat.

But "fad" or not, well, most of the food industry involves fads, whether meat or not.

Do you not like General Tso's? I make it at home, sometimes, and it's all about the sauce. Which, from what I put into it, it seems to be largely about soy sauce and maple syrup.

But, yes, back when I ate meat I did try things like eating crickets (it kinda felt like eating sand, though a chocolate-covered cricket was like eating a Kit Kat.
