I was disappointed in the Gardein Fishless Filets.

12. Unfortunately, I often get the feeling from vegetarians and vegans

that my meat eating is offensive and that I should stop immediately. They will all to often spout nonsense which shows they do not understand human evolution and don't get that meat eating is a crucial part of our inheritance.

If someone chooses not to eat meat, I'm totally fine with that. But I will go back to my question of why in the world would you want something that purports to replicate the exact thing you don't want to eat? They are not comfort foods. They are artificial foods that are not remotely like the thing they're supposedly replacing.

I do a great deal of cooking from scratch. I even have been known to bake my own bread, although not lately. I did recently get a new bread baking machine and have yet to put it to use. I like real food, freshly prepared. For me, that includes meat. It does not include very many processed foods, and I'm noticing that the more I cook for myself, the less happy I am with what I get at restaurants, even supposedly good ones.

I suspect if I were a vegetarian/vegan I'd feel even more strongly. It is not that hard to cook from scratch. Michael Pollard says it best: eat real food. Not too much. Mostly vegetables.
