FAO: Vegetarians or Ppl that KNOW ingredients on food packages
Are there any of these ppl in the CORe? It's a long post but I just need the bold & underlined answered after you look at the ingredients. I also bolded some key words.
There is a brand of vegan/vegetarian frozen foods that I love.. But the ingrediants list is the entire side of the box! I just wanna know if it's better to eat the real thing? I'm not a vegeterian I just don't eat Cow or Pig anymore.

I think with anything processed, you're just going to have a difficult time avoid chemical(s) x,y,z. 
The wings are are ok.
Better spicy veggie wings out there than morning farms IMO
Veggie bites seem kinda nasty.
Not to big on morning farms stuff.
It's pretty much junk food and doesn't consitute nutrition.
As far as it being better than the real thing?
Presonally i perfer textured vegitable protein over the flesh of animals anyday. Thats just me tho.

| Originally posted by Ang ' ela_ie What do you mean by "the real thing?" Like, eat vegetables instead of veggie burgers? I eat Morningstar, too. Well, I eat the burgers. I havent tried anything else. You have to decide what you have a problem with. If you want to eat all natural foods, then obviously you cant shop out of the freezer anymore. But if it's just that you want to stay away from the harmful shit that's in meat from cattle farms and the like, then Im sure eating Morningstar is fine. Most stuff is bad for you if you eat it constantly. If youre eating a veggie burger even every other day, then I think it's a-okay. Speaking of "what's in the beef you eat," how about some fossil fuels? Yes, thats right. Actual fossil fuels comprise about 10% of a fast food burger (proven by running said burger through a mass spectrometer). Sick sick sick! Not to mention the antibiotics that we ingest... no wonder we are devolving. |
did i read that right!?!

I hardly expect it to be anything like a beef burger. But when everyone is grilling out and you want to grill, a veggie burger and veggie-kabob is an awesome deal. |

| Originally posted by MeLLyMeL I;m not gonna lie. I'm a fuking spic and we grow up roasting entire pigs for x-mas eve plus all our basic foods include plenty o'cow meat! I just wanna eat a little better than I did growing up. This isn't about "veggies" more like..... meat substitutes [soy] + whatever else is in that package! haha |
tbh, its always better to 'eat the real thing' as if you actually made it, you generally know what actually went into it.
i try to follow this more as processed foods are now loaded with soy and i am allergic. its a pain sometimes, and you cant make everything you always want without a complicated recipe, but ive nailed a few things that are pretty damn good, not nec meat free tho.
i prefer quorn when it comes to the morningstar type deals as quorn is soy free. but if you are really worried about health and not eating meat, its time to start researching recipes and cooking for yourself.
fajitas are always a good start, meat or non meat|
I've been a vegetarian my entire life.
Morningstar Farms is kind of a joke in the veggie meat community. They've been credited with making the first "soy" burger, "Grillers" which are really my favorite of the fake-meat burgers, but they're totally not GOOD for you. Its just a way for me to have a burger to grill at a BBQ that doesn't taste like cardboard.
Most of the morningstar products use a lot of filler ingredients that equal more calories and less nutrients.
Boca makes chicken nugget things that are slightly better for you and I think taste better overall compared to the ones morningstar makes.
Most new vegetarians or people just looking for a meat alternative really like the morningstar brand b/c its kinda greasy and more meat-like..satisfies the "fast food" cravings, but is def better for you than McDonalds.
If you start feeling really bold, try Tofurky deli slices...the cranberry and stuffing kind is my faaaavorite.
Oooo Ooo and veggie Shrimp are THE BEST ever!
i love veggie meats :-D

Vegetarian food doesn't necessarily mean organic 
If you're worried about all the weird stuff, get Trader Joes frozen foods. They tend to be organic.
oh and not eating pork just because is stupid, as it is the most delicious|

OKay I see.
Honestly, if youre eating any kind of meat that comes from a big farm, its going to be shit. Even fish. If the fish arent naturally caught, theyre going to have problems.
Knowing what I know (and I actually know more than Id like to about the way food is processed) Id say that going vegetarian is better. You dont have to give up your Morningstar, but maybe dont eat 5 a day. Everything in moderation.
(The thing about fossil fuels in the beef - yes - the fertilizer they use for the corn and grain in the feed is fossil fuel based. Therefore, the cattle/chickens are ingesting fuel. ALSO, did you know that they feed cows cow-patties and ground beef? Thats why they have to keep all the cows on antibiotics. Nature has devised a way to keep us from eating our own shit and eating each other - you get really fucking sick and die. Antibiotics keep them from getting sick and dying, but then you get to eat the antibiotic, too. Not good!)

| Originally posted by Ang ' ela_ie Yeah just make sure you know where it came from and what it was fed. If it claims to be "natural" then it probably is, but I admit I dont know how they regulate certain words/claims. Also, "free-range" tends to be good. |

I make a lot of vegetarian Thai food and use fake veggie meats i order from sketchy chinese websites |
