I do like Veggie burgers and usually have one instead of a meat burger as i'm not big on junk food at all.

Veggie Bacon is the best.

because its very low fat, contains little or no cholesterol, far far lower calories, and the flavour is made using natural spices not artificial flavourings.

Some veggie stuff is bad and full of strange things. But a simple mushroom burger is delicious and wholesome. Life is all a question of balance really so I eat veggie food a couple of times a week. Most meat eaters should really.

Because even though it's a little blander, there's none of the fat of regular bacon that turns me off from it, I enjoy both, but when it comes down to it I'd pick veggie bacon over regular. I don't like much other veggie food though.

Anyways, I do agree that we are supposed to eat meat. I see nothing inherently wrong with eating meat. But, I am a vegetarian because I believe the industry takes away from the value of life for a capitalistic purpose, and I'd just rather take a step back and not be a part. I just don't want to put my money in their pockets because I don't believe in that idea. Life is more then a commodity to me.

Though, with that said, you can't really get around that 100% unless you just choose not to take part in almost every facet of our society. Not to mention, that by eating soy protein, you're more or less supporting the destruction of forest. If I'm not mistaken (please correct me if I am), one of South America's (?) biggest commodities is soy, and in order to make more, they simply burn away trees to have more land. Without the all the forest in South America, the weather of the world would be thrown in complete disarray.

So with all that said, my lifestyle is still in the works in that sense. I'm trying to get myself more informed on all the areas of this subject so I can do what I feel is right. I'm not really one to say anyone else is wrong though; who am I to say I'm more right then you are? What is right anyways? It's simply an opinion.
Its definately good to know as much as possible about the food you eat I think. Soya is an interesting one.. yes alot of the rainforest is cut down for soya, but most of that soya goes as animal feed, cheap reconstituted fast food products, oils and biofules. Companies that make alot of vegan soya food (Alpro, Redwoods etc) do source their soya ethically.

Soya does have a large carbon footprint though, which is why I tend to go for veggie burgers that are made out of bredcrumbs, beans, oats or hemp flour instead.

But yes.. through our diet is one of the main ways we impact the environment unfortunately. Whats happening in the Amazon with soya is also happening with cheap beef, and in the Phillipines with Palm Oil.. its nasty business.

I just can't imagine, I love bacon, put on nearly everything soup, salad, potatoes, burgers, sandwiches etc.

The fat is where the flavor comes from.

I always put bacon n burgers etc, but when I just want some for breakfast I'll eat veggie, not sure why, that's just the way I do it.

That's a very good thought. I will definitely keep that in mind.
