Wow -- talk about going offtopic, guys! I'm going to end your poop conversation right here!

Some really good tasting *meat substitutions* (please, don't call them "fake meat" b/c they're very real foods!) are out there.

I didn't give up meat b/c I didn't like the taste, I gave it up for ethical reasons. Thus saying that you aren't a vegetarian b/c you like the taste of meat is pretty much an invalid argument to me. Others might disagree, but that's just how I feel. If you're really against eating imitation things, then I wonder if you ever use non-dairy creamer -- YIKES! Fake milk?? God forbid. See, I bet you use imitation things all the time. I agree with the poster who said they're not more gross than eating a corpse of a mistreated animal.

I love:

Boca Breakfast Links
Boca Chik'n Patties
Gardenburger Riblets
Tofu Pups (Yummy with Bush's Baked Beans! Vegetarian, of course)
Tofurkey Hickory Smoked sandwich slices
Tofutti Cheese
Anything made of gluten! Especially my fiance's beef stew! Mmmmm

There are so much more. But really, people, be a little more openminded. It's okay if you don't like the taste of tofu -- i'm not a fan myself -- but I think it's a little off key to keep saying it's too gross, so you eat meat. That's not a logical conclusion. If you really wanted to, then you'd find a way around eating meat without eating tofu. If you don't want to, then try not to be so offensive to those who do want abstain from animal products.

Truth is it isn't about tastes. B/c veggie food tastes good. It's about finding it within yourself to realize that the way animals are exploited and treated in today's society is morally wrong, and since we're intelligent enough as humans to realize that, we should feel responsible to do something about it. Not entitled to do it for that reason.

Oh my gosh you guys are hilarious. Just one more thing about poop...mine is green. ONLY because I am herbal and use herbs in everything...I also have a morning nutritional drink that mostly does it. ....actually it's a good thing because that means my blood has assimilated the herbs...and how easy it did!!! I have to admit, like Losec20mg, I observe my poop too. lol, I know it sounds gross but sometimes the gross or smallest detail will give you a lead when it comes to your body and health.

Angelene, Boca is awesome! Morningstar is also some awesome delicious food! Ever try Temph?? Tofurkey is another awesome one!!! Silk is Soy makes AWESOME vanilla soymilk...seriously you wouldn't even know the difference! My personal cheese substitute is Veggie Cheese. Oh man you guys made me hungry. Well, you guys have a healthy day!

I eat lots of greens but mine has NEVER been green. It it possible I'm not assimilating the nutrients??


I agree Morningstar and Silk are AMAZING. I eat Soyco's cheddar cheese and you can hardly tell the difference between that and real dairy cheese. It is truly amaing. Oh also, you GOTTA try Tofu Pups, they're about 8 g of protein each and are absolutely delicious!!

Getting back to Sammy's" subject. I have been eating meat substitutes for 10 yeaqrs and I agree they were pitiful at first. But! they have gotten a lot better. I can't speak on the chicken like stuff you mentioned. Have you tried "Morningstar products? They are getting real good. I usualy have the sausage Patties or meat strips with breakfat. Most of the egg substitues are really good with them (I use "Egg Beaters") Boca Burger makes for a decent Cheeseburger. Boca Burger or Morningstar Crumblers make for a great meat sause or taco filler.
Looks can be deceiving when seen on TV. It is difficult to make what was mainly soy meal look like a wing or drumstick!
I used to say "I would never give up beef if my life depended upon it...Weeell it did and I did!

Dang Veggiegirl you're making me hungry! My poop is green because of the herbs I take...hahahaha, I've been on a 30 diet (just finishing up), and it's like whatever I take, I feel the effects right away. Hahahhaaa, sorry about the poop thing again guys.

MMmmmmmmmmmm....Boca, mmmmmmmm. I went to a restaurant on Friday (it's tough eating out and being vegan at the same time), and this mongolian place had tofu! I was overjoyed (all veggies, and they cook it in front of you)...oh man, to those who won't try or don't like tofu...have it prepared right. I think I was in vegan heaven. mmmmm, ok now I made myself hungry, hahhaha! Have a healthy day guys!
