MorningStar Farms:

Now I have quite a few friends who will not eat this stuff because they use genetically modified foods. Personally, knowing all the hormones pumped into non-organic milk, I don't give a shit. They make some really yummy things! I would suggest trying the Grillers Prime soy patties for a burger substitute. Their Corn Dogs and Buffalo Chik'n are good too. I also enjoy their breakfast patties which are usually sold out in the store. Pass on the fake bacon- that is like eating cardboard.

Frieda's Soy Taco:

Okay, I swear by this stuff. If you are a fan of taco bell, this stuff tastes like the taco meat they use. I use it in tacos, burritos, dips, etc. It is very good! (Side note... refried beans usually use lard... if you want the beans, go for black which usually are vegetarian friendly).

Gardenburger:

Meatless Riblets, Meatless Meatloaf, Barbecue Chick'n- When I feel like comfort food, this is what I head for. Throw a side of mashed potatoes and green beans and you have a very satisfying, stick to the ribs, meal. I'm not too fond of Gardenburger's burger, but the above they get right!

Lightlife:

Steak-Style Strips are easy to throw into any fajita recipes and in stir fry dishes. The Old World Bologna reminds me of growing up in upstate New York (fried bologna sandwiches as a child). I recommend if you like lunch meat and fajitas.

So if you are a meat eater... be daring and try one of the dishes suggested above. You might find that it isn't as bad as you thought it would be. Who knows, you just might end up making a lifestyle change!

Finally, just because I can't leave without pissing off the usual Blogcritics, I'll leave ya with this:
