Is veggie meat good for you?!


Question: Perhaps better for you than meat in that it will probably be lower in fat, but it's bound to be alot more artificial than meat. something like tofu is a natural product and probably the best thing if you want a meat subsitute.

like anything in moderation

I know it tends to be alot less fattier than regular meat.

its not bad for you

veggie meat? isnt that a contradiction in terms?

Err, veggie meat isn't meat! Forget the faddy foods and just eat a sensible, balanced diet.

big wind but that seems to be the only draw back

Veggie Meat? is there such a thing, or do you mean Soya?

not as goood or tasty as real meat

Is there such a thing

Of course.

Mock 'meats' are processed food and so should perhaps not be everyday choices, but they're mostly ok, especially if you're feeling lazy or uninspired.

Brands vary, in the UK Redwoods is far and away the best and tastiest brand in my opinion.

Eaten in moderation they're fine; some brands can be very high in fats and salt though, so check ingredients

what exactly is veggie meat ?
meat is any animal tissue & vegetable is plant products.

Veggie meat you mean like TVP or fake meat? check what's in it first of all... try to read the nutrition guide..as with anything moderation is best..
But really, I try to stay away from "fake" anything...

If you are preferring soya or tufu yes its far better than beef,lamb,sheep etc i cook with that a great deal, i make a load od homemade dinners ranging from sherpherds pies, cornish pasties, meat,veg pies. stir frys

yes it is...

I don't support canabalism.

in careful moderation

Pros.. gives good protien to replace that which meat used to provide for you.. has healthy fats, low cholesterol

Cons: Very processed.. kind of "fattening"

So.. with careful moderation, is what I recommend..

It smells and taste like ****.

I guess it is, but it tastes disgusting.

Veggie "meats" are processed. When I read the ingredients, I don't know half of them. I think that everything in moderation, but it is really very easy to make your own...use lentils as a base and add all kinds of spices.

Another thing to consider, most veggie burgers in restaurants have egg whites or milk ingredients. If you are vegan, veggie burger doesn't always mean veggie!

what is veggie meat?

Actually most of them is make from the SOYA, so cannot say that is good or bad. But of cause if u eat too much, is bad. So when u have the veggie meat, u also can have the veggie, not all also veggie meat full in your plate when have lunch or dinner. Just see how u think only............

u mean meatless meat?
its not excataly bad for u but it isnt good either.
its better then real meat tho.
the smart dogs taste like crapp
but the meatless bolony is good
