The meat behind the mirror

Have you heard vegan food can only look good when it's really meat?
That is the news about VegNews, according to a recent New York Times story that reported the magazine used meat and dairy products in images that purported to be vegan dishes.
The New York Times story says:
"The gastronomical subterfuge was revealed in an April 13 post by Quarrygirl.com, a vegan blog, which found that images of conventional foods from a free online stock-photo service were identical to images accompanying supposedly vegan dishes in the magazine and on its Web site."

Hmm....is this a tempest in a teapot? Everyone know I tried a vegan month last year and crashed and burned - it was just too hard to do. But if you are making a living writing about veganism, shouldn't the meat be left at the door?

P.S. Someone asked me today if I eat pigs. I thought that was funny. I gave up eating pigs long before other animals.
