Why do vegetarians eat so many meat substitutes?
Not all of us do, but I do, I’ll be honest. I used to love certain meat foods, such as Hamburger Helper, chicken quesadillas, chili…. Fake meat works really well as a replacement for these things. Also, I’m living with a meat-eating boyfriend, and meat substitutes like MorningStar products are a good compromise. I’m not the most creative chef, and fake meat is a really really really easy dinner. It’s not that I’m dying to eat meat or anything, I just like to use it in my meals and it works very well for my purposes. My family, too, gives me a lot of fake meat because they can’t figure out what a vegetarian eats otherwise. Also, it has some pretty good nutrition. Not amazing, but there are way worse things. Good question!
