pinkfairy 0 #5 July 29, 2007 But the "veggie" bacon contains egg whites? Then it's not strictly veggie, it's veggie and egg... I could live without bacon. There are thousands of other good foods I could eat instead. If I were to avoid bacon, I wouldn't eat substitute bacon. Hey! look at the ingredients list! Ordinary bacon is "pig, salt, natrium nitrite" Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you?

rhys 0 #6 July 29, 2007 when I was living in Aussie we had a housemate that was vegetarian and he was really fat, we called him lunchboxHe used to eat this stuff callet 'not meat' or 'nut meat' or something like that as well as veggie sausages and veggie bacon. what a crock of shit. O.K. if you are illerigic to it or something I would let you away with it but otherwise who are you trying to fool? I bet lunchbox has a heart attck before me an I like bacon butties more than anyone.

shropshire 0 #10 July 29, 2007 I warn you now... this post may be sillyHow many pieces of animal protien have you ingested that you can't see with the human eye? Microbs etc.... or dont they count?)

ltdiver 3 #11 July 29, 2007 If you don't like it, it's all the more for us. Speaking as a life long vegetarian, I like the variety of diet this can give us. Since I've never tasted meat I don't compare the two. So, there's no conflict (taste-wise) in my mind. Nice to get our protein in a variety of ways. Why limit us? ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hungarianchick 0 #15 July 29, 2007 The way I look at it is if you don't wanna eat meat, why would you want to eat something that looks, smells and tastes like meat? "I love cooking with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ltdiver 3 #19 July 29, 2007 Quote The way I look at it is if you don't wanna eat meat, why would you want to eat something that looks, smells and tastes like meat? I've been told, by those who have tasted both, that the vegitarian style (fake meat) doesn't taste at all like the real thing. And as I've said before, why limit us vegetarians in the ways we get our protein? I don't care if the manufacturers make it look like 'meat' or not. They way I prepare it it tastes good. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
