Meat & non-eat meaters (READ ME)

I eat vegan a few days each week (vegan because I can't eat eggs or dairy for digestive reasons) and the rest of the time I eat fish or birds - no red meat or pork. On the nights I go meatless, why would I replace the meat with a meat substitute? I don't like faux food. There are enough yummy non-meat things to eat without adding a bunch of wierd stuff to my plate. If I wanted to eat meat I would eat it. I don't want fake meat. On meatless days I enjoy whole grains, vegetables, legumes, seeds and nuts. And I cook those healthy foods from scratch into delicious meals. No need for factory meals here. :drinker:

I mostly eat chemical-filled factory foods to avoid becoming this smug.

I'm sure most all of you have heard of Morning Star foods.
Why not substitute?
On a night you're going to have burgers, why not have a vege burger? They are so delicious.
Chicken nuggets, why not Morning Stars?
So much less fat, no grease, all entirely healthy & delicious.

Why don't I substitute? Because I like regular burgers and nuggets. Meat is not evil.

She was obviously saying that meat is pure evil and that you're the spawn of Satan himself if you eat meat, and certainly not just saying that you can save a few calories if you substitute the veggie alternative now and again.

Always so nice to see reading comprehension in action.

You have utterly abused the use of (READ ME). I am going to deliberately never, ever replace any meat with a vegetarian substitute for this reason alone. I had a recipe for red bean lasagna saved, but now? When Hades freezes over.

Congratulations.

Yes, pricey. But who has burgers every night? Who has chicken nuggets every night? I know I don't. Though Morning Star is delicious.. & It does tempt me to make one. Yummy yummy substitution

I don't think a single thing of Morningstar Farms is gluten free. My mother loves their veggie breakfast sausage and its all off limits to me. (celiac disease)

Seriously, if you laid out nothing but Morningstar Farms to eat, I'd have to go eat somewhere else. It's easy to make things like bean burgers yourself, why bother with their crap?

you know what? somehow I imagine the OP wasn't talking about people with celiac!

pats you on the head for your daily attention rush.

I'm kind of with Reddy on that. The OP wasn't really targeting anyone with a specific illness. She just put out an idea for a meat substitute. The beef I have with that (no pun intended :P) is the way she put that eating meat is less healthy then eating Morningstar or Boca and instead of eating meat, you should eat those items.

I don't think they are more healthy than eating meat... its faux food in the worst sense. High sodium, soy galore.

If you were to say, processed meat, then yes... you'd be right. But not any meat.

right, we all agree on that.

the point was that to play martyr about your celiac disease was completely random, unnecessary, and not something the OP ever even insinuated or referred to.

processed veggie burgers are absolutely no better than much less processed ground beef. (although with the nuggets it may be a wash. lol)

(awaits someone to bash me for being logical while female)
