That's a generalization... those cats, true, are on some trendy shit. But for those that are truly vegetarian/vegan, it's an insult to be lumped in with those people.

As far as your tofu dog, veggie burger comment goes, most vegetarians are converts, and are therefore facing about twenty years of programming that they need to eat a meal based around meat, so that's why meat substitutes exist. It's a process to get yourself off of something you've been eating since birth... I can say that shortly after becoming vegetarian, I was damn near repulsed by the smell of meat and most definately by the appearance of it.
