QOTW 22/9/08: Fake Foods

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

 

Here's our new Question of the Week:

 

How do you feel about fake foods - that is, fake (e.g soy) me*t, cheez, etc. Is

it a useful addition to a vegetarian diet? Or is it a crutch that's best cast

aside as soon as possible?

 

Let us know how you feel

 

Best, Pat (for the co-owners, Vegetarian Spice)

I admit, I love many of them!  My favorite indulgence is the Stonewall's

Jerquee...it's SOOO good!  My uber-omni brother even loves it and begs for me to

pick some up for him when I go to the health-food store.  I certainly think we

should strive to eat as " clean " and natural as possible, but there are so many

great soy options these days, and they help keep my diet less boring (I love

beans and rice, obviously, but I just can't eat them EVERY day at EVERY meal!). 

Plus, they're great for those transitioning to a veggie diet, with lots of great

substitutes that feel familiar (chili made with Gimme Lean is amazing!), and of

course many of them fool our omni friends and show just how satisfying and

versatile a veggie diet can be!
