makes me gag. I have always had an aversion to meat.

When I did eat meat it was always what kind of meat to fix then what to go with it. People are used to thinking like that. If they go vegetarian they still are thinking of meat first and what to have with it. So we substitute veggies meat for real meat.

I think trying to find fault with veggie meat or those that eat it rediculous.

I like Veggie burgers MFM008 Jul 2019 #1
