'Meat' does not equal animal flesh

"The word “meat” originally meant “that which was eaten (solid food) to distinguish it from that which was drunk (beverages),” and we still say “nut meat” or “coconut meat.” I absolutely abhor such words as “fake," “faux,” “alternative,” & “substitute” to talk about plant foods. I don’t eat “fake meat,” and I do eat “grain-based meat" and “wheat-based meat" and "nut-based meat." I just don’t eat “animal-based meat."-Colleen Patrick-Goudreau
