i used to scoff at people who eat foods that are marketed as tasting like meat. i've since let pragmatism win out. if it helps you reduce your meat consumption, that's really all that matters.
how does the community feel about these products? any brands to avoid, or try?
It is a common comment though, with people that have remoed meat from their diet for a time period.
The longer I haven't had meat the more the smell and grease gross me out. Like when a person not quite understanding vegetarian or vegan diet slips in refried beens with lard... just horrible.
