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.

yeah I fuking love it but the fact that you look at something "healthy" and the ingredients list is HUGE-O-MUNGUS, scares me.
Plus some of the words I don't even know... even though the idiot version is sometimes in parenthesis! |

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. |

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 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. |

You gotta love it for what it is. We dont eat them because we want a replacement for burgers, we eat them because theyre good. 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. |

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
