Guest guest Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Because the ones we use, tastes very good and I've never eaten meat and never ever will. It gives us more variety in our meals, is quick to use and seems like it makes a meal more satisfing to us, though we do have many meals where we don't use any and enjoy those too. The meat substitutes that we use are not so close to looking and tasting just like meat so it doesn't bother me at all. Now looking at and smelling meat cooking makes me gag beyond words. We like the texture of the Worthington, Loma Linda, Cedar Lake, Morningstar Farms and Vibrant Life products and all the things we can make with them. Also for folks like my husband who aren't big bean eaters, it is a great source of grains and soy protein. They are healthy and full of good nutrition too. It is a personal choice, but condeming folks that choose to enjoy these vegetarian products ongoing in their vegetarian lifestyle, is not kind, tolerant or appreciative of the companies that make these healthy choices available to use all. They are a so much healthier than any meat. Yours to Enjoy, Judy - Barb Thursday, November 13, 2008 7:43 PM imitation meat This is a question that I was asked and I am going to ask you also. If you are supposed to be a vegetarian or vegan why do you eat imitation meat? I very seldome eat it myself, I quit eating meat to become a vegetarian not to substitute it for something else.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 The question came to me from someone who eats meat and couldn't understand why people eat the substitutes instead of the real thing. I will show them your answer, as it is better than any that I could give.
