I totally agree.  However, I must confess to finding it amusing when a whole
batch of Linda McCartneys veggie products were tested and found to contain
meat.  (my boyfriend at the time, a vegetarian, was frankly camp & dramatic
about all the fake mince and quorn in our house,  flouncing around and
wailing he 'just couldn't tell....' )

I think that episode demonstrates idiocy, not anything praiseworthy.
Tricking someone into eating something that they don't consider to be food
is the sort of humour that appeals to two-year-olds.  Feeding meat to
vegetarians and crowing over having "converted" them is derivative, tired,
cliched, and boring.  But then any joke wears thin after the first ten
thousand or so repetitions.
