I have no problem if someone wants to be a vegetarian. I do have a
problem when companies like Morningstar Farms try to portray faux
burgers, sausage, etc. as meat. And yes, I've tried them.

I tried to access Morningstar Farms website for ingredients lists and
got this message:

"Looks as if MorningStarFarms.com is one leaf short of a lettuce patch
at the moment. We'll be up and running again real soon." LOL

Half the faux meat products are so loaded with crap I wouldn't feed them
to my cat.

Here's the ingredients for the All American "flame grilled" Boca Burger:

Ingredients: WATER, SOY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE, REDUCED FAT CHEDDAR CHEESE
(PASTEURIZED PART-SKIM MILK, CHEESE CULTURE, SALT, ENZYMES, ANNATTO
(COLOR), VITAMIN A PALMITATE), WHEAT GLUTEN, CORN OIL, CONTAINS LESS
THAN 2% OF METHYLCELLULOSE, HYDROLYZED CORN PROTEIN, WHEAT GLUTEN AND
SOY PROTEIN, SALT, CARAMEL COLOR, CHEESE POWDER (CHEDDAR CHEESE (MILK,
CHEESE CULTURE, SALT, ENZYMES), CREAM, SALT, SODIUM PHOSPHATE, LACTIC
ACID), DRIED ONIONS, YEAST EXTRACT, NATURAL FLAVOR (NON-MEAT), SESAME
OIL, DISODIUM GUANYLATE, DISODIUM INOSINATE, BROWNED IN CORN OIL.

No thanks.
