    for those people that are taking this thread seriously, here is something to consider.

    in no way shape or form did the person who created this thread say that people shouldnt eat or enjoy them.

    what they said was to stop refering to them as things they arent.

    a pizza has a dough base, not cauliflower.

    a pancake isnt made of mashed banana.

    bacon is not made from turkey.

    for the rest of the people who have a sense of humour, i dont recommend "drunken nachos" which is made from corn flakes, a jar of pasta sauce the topped with sliced american cheese and baked in the oven. it is no substitute for nachos, it is a substitute for punching your self in the face, but it has more calories.
    Ugh! Turkey bacon! Such an abomination!

    The quasi-food recipes are the herpes of MFP…there is an outbreak almost daily.

    Mashed up banana + egg does NOT equal a pancake…it is an omelet…a nasty, fruit-based omelet.

    Mashed up banana + oats does NOT equal a cookie…it is some weird form of oatmeal.

    Mashed up cauliflower does NOT equal a pizza crust…it is an abomination.

    Adding buffalo sauce to cauliflower does NOT equal a buffalo wing…this too, is an abomination.

    Please, please stop trying to make junk food healthy…if I want to eat a buffalo wing, I want a piece of chicken slathered in tangy BBQ sauce. If I want a pancake, I want something I can smother with syrup. If I want pizza, I want it to be on a crust made of gluten-filled goodness. If I want a cookie, I will drown a double-stuffed Oreo in a glass of milk (real milk…from a cow).

    Splurging once in a blue moon is not a sin. I will not go to hell for it. I will go to hell for finding wildly inappropriate things hysterically funny.

    I think I :heart: you

    Absolutely totally agree with you!! Food is food, eat it or not. But don't try to fake it out. It doesn't work.

    I don't understand..if this is not hurting you or you don't wish to enjoy such..why complain why not just pass by the post. To each their own you know..

    I for one am THANKFUL for the different options and personally love my cauliflower pizza crust among other variations.

    I do allow myself to indulge however I prefer to choose a healtheir option to provide myself for better lifestyle habits if I can. I don't do "diets" - I don't believe they work but changing how I eat will last me a lifetime.

    But that's just my 2 cents.


    I agree with you, but hey like you said, to each his own.

    This was meant to be more of a social commentary about the progressive nature of this site's users to condemn food. All the OP is saying is if you want pizza, then eat pizza, just exercise some self-control. She is also attempting to point out that deluding oneself that creating a pseudo-replacement for junk food is only delaying a potential inevitable binge. Not every post is as negative as it sounds. Why do people always look to scrutinize every post that they read?

    Ok. I'll admit it...I hate turkey bacon and prefer REAL bacon. Yummy! I won't settle except for the real thing. It's my weakness...no one will ever change my mind. Turkey bacon just tastes wrong!

    Black bean brownies taste exactly like black beans mixed with sugar. :angry:

    Chick pea "cookie dough" is sweet hummus and a waste of chocolate chips. :explode:

    Ooh! I just remembered I have a frosty in the fridge. Healthify my frosty, I dare ya, suckers!

    Oh darn. Now I want some black bean brownies. There are some recipes that are really amazing. I use stevia and make a grain free version and eat them hot with strawberries. They aren't brownies, but they are yummy made right. I could imagine that made wrong, they'd be atrocious.

    ChocolateCoveredKatie makes really tasty "substitute" recipes.

    I made this awesome taco once though that I"ll share with you but other than this taco I totally agree wtih you.

    What I did was instead of using a corn tortilla because corn killed the Mayans and obviously all grains are fatal, I used a lettuce leaf. And then since beef is harmful because of that study by those chinese people I used clumps of cinnamon (it's really boosting on your metbolisms) but I clumped it up to really look like beef. And taco sauce is only like 10 calories if you use a syringe and just drip it on, so I added REAL TACO SAUCES and then some lettuce and omg it was just like eating a taco.

    thanks add me for motivation.

    ZOMG, I am totally trying this! Did you mean to say "all grains are falafel"? Or are they all fatal? I thought just the white Wonder bread was fatal?

    I want to add your arm for motivation.

    Half of the comedy value of the thread is the social commentary/satire. The other half is in the posts from people who take it seriously.

    And the hypocrisy in these posts is also hilarious. It's just funny on so many levels.:laugh:

    I think it's funny that everyone who's gf automatically runs to some sort of cauliflower or banana omelette as a substitute for crust, bread, pancakes, waffles. Damn, I refuse to go for anything less then the best. I keep Alton brown recipe waffles in the freezer just in case, just a matter of substituting the right flour. They are not unhealthy, they're just no something I eat once a week. It's lunacy labeling a food as "unhealthy," the stigma gives it super hero powers.

    Eh...celiac here. Since I'm also diabetic, have Hashimoto's thyroiditis and am intolerant of corn, soy, peanuts and shellfish, I absolutely look for substitutes. Many commercial GF products are either made with corn/soy or are so carb-laden that my blood sugar spikes just reading the label. I use some almond meal, flax meal and coconut flour, but I am also fat so calories are a concern. I like "pizza" made with zucchini, eggplant, mushrooms, spaghetti squash and caulliflower.

    Some of my experiments are delicious, period ( I have a husband and son who don't eat "that diet crap" but cheerfully and with great relish chow down on those creations). Some are only delicious to me because I can't have the real thing. Some are truly vile.

    I grew up loving cauliflower, still do. I don't use it to substitute for anything. I steam it and put a cheesy bechamel sauce over it and serve it with cooked potatoes and bratwurst with a thick gravy. Mash it all together and enjoy all 2000 calories of this delicious dish (ok, maybe you have to be Belgian to know this is good, but trust me, it is)...so cauliflower is one of my bad foods! As for the people making up food combinations...let them. It's funny, entertaining...and who knows, maybe someone will come up with the most delicious meal ever.

    I guess one of my problems with the "healthier substitute" crowd is the perpetuation of the belief that that applesauce is inherently healthier than butter...and that egg whites are inherently healthier than whole eggs.
