That's pretty much my point.
I don't mind if anyone enjoys a
vegetarian diet. But why try to create faux meat? They must be craving
something. You can't tell me it's soy protein, methylcellulose, caramel
color.
The above ingredients don't sound very healthy to me. And yes, I've
tried Boca Burgers. Once. That conglomeration of crap will never
replace a good beef burger in my kitchen.
