That you've discovered the secret to vegetarian diet - don't eat fake meat.
Wrong, I don't think this is a "secret" to a vegetarian diet. I am of the opinon that "fake meat" or meat substitutes aren't very good food. Compared to actual vegetables (and pulses and fungi and other plant based foods) they seem, to me, to be rather lacking.

That there can be no good fake meat.*
Wrong, this is not an assumption but my opinion of meat substitutes so far. I would happily support and promote one that I thought was actually good food.
*
That a large number of vegetarians don't like vegetables.*
Wrong. I didn't say this nor have I ever assumed this. I said and I'll quote myself here "am amazed at the number of vegetarians who just don't seem to enjoy vegetables all that much". That's not to say that this number is especially high in percentages or even actual figures. However, the number that I have come across amazes me. Sucks to be me if I'm easily astounded.
That a lot of veggies eat Quorn - and are therefore part of a travesty, and more so, not "self respecting cook[s]
Wrong. I tend to find that vegetarians concur with me on this point, although I'll assume I'm not in this company now. Following on from my opinion of meat substitutes above, is it hardly surprising that I think that they are missing out on better food.
