Faux Meats
Depending on the type of week I’m having, faux meats are sometimes a staple food I eat. They are convenient because all I have to do is microwave them. You might look at them and wonder why vegetarians/vegans eat them since they resemble meat. For me, transitioning from eating meat to not eating meat happened pretty fast. Although I never want to eat meat again, I do sometimes still crave the texture of meat. After all, up until three years ago, I ate meat all of my life. I actually wonder if I would want faux meat if I had been raised a vegetarian in the first place. I guess I’ll never know, but faux meats are a great alternative. I buy Morning Star Farm faux chicken patties, burgers and corn dogs. I think all of them taste good. There are also vegetarian sloppy joe mix and taco mix that comes in a box that is delicious. All my meat eating friends have tried it and couldn’t believe it was fake.
