Fake Meat is Funny

I have a "meatless" turkey sandwhich for lunch today. This stuff just cracks me up...it doesn't even remotely resemble turkey in flavor or appearance. I like it though. I just find it humorous that someone even tried to make a form of fake turkey, seeing as how this fake meat is made for the vegetarian population, who by definition are not very fond of meat. I can see the plan forming... "OF COURSE, it's BRILLIANT...we'll concoct a rounded meat looking food stuff! It shall be pretend Meat, and the Veg-heads will love our non-meaty goodness!!"
I mean, it's not like people were sitting around yearning to have something to call turkey, and we already understand these non-meat slices are meant to emulate lunch meat..without the word turkey attached to it. So call 'em soy slices and be done with it. And if necessary, add a little lable saying something like "this fake meat is meant to most closely resemble turkey". That's my stupid morning rant, and yes, i eat fake meat :o) So add it to the list of vices...coffee, beer, more beer, way more coffee, AND fake meat. (oooh, and did i forget to mention ben and jerry's...that's goooood too...better than fake meat)


"it's the diet coke of meat, just 1 calorie, not quite meat enough"
