It's very unclear what "Natural food substitutes" is attempting to indicate. The contents are an odd mishmash of modern, Western synthetic products (e.g. non-dairy creamer and isolated chemicals like Phyllodulcin) and on the other hand, completely natural, traditional (especially in non-Western countries) products (e.g. coconut milk) that only seem like "substitutes" if one is coming from a very Western, heavily meat and dairy consuming perspecitve. (Interestingly also, peanut butter, which doesn't contain dairy butter, isn't categorized amongst the dairy analogues/"substitutes".)

It's therefore necessary to clarify what exactly "Natural food substitutes" is attempting to indicate. Perhaps "Synthetic substitutes for natural foods" might be one more helpful subcategory - for the first (modern synthetic) products. The other articles on meat analogues & dairy ananlogues could perhaps go under a subcategory entitled "Vegetarian and Vegan foods"? --Philologia (talk) 07:59, 10 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2018-12-10T07:59:00.000Z","author":"Philologia S\u00e6cul\u0101r\u0113s","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Philologia_S\u00e6cul\u0101r\u0113s-2018-12-10T07:59:00.000Z-vague,_imprecise_&_subjective_wording:_\"Natural_food_substitutes\"","replies":[],"displayName":"Philologia"}}-->
