Vegeterians, do you like soy products?

My friends like to call soy products "fake" meat- those frozen veggie burgers, meatless hotdogs and deli slices, and other things made to look like meat but are made from tofu or soy beans. I have been meatless from about 7 years now, and I must say those "fake" meats have made up a good part of my diet. I love them! I really love those veggie Boca burgers you find in the frozen food sections of grocery stores; the tomato basil flavored ones are delicious! I also like Smart dogs, and those "Bac-o" bacon bits (who know those were meatless? lol).

These food sounds like they would be good to try. I still eat meat, but I notice I feel better when I do not eat it. So, this would give me more of a choice of foods to eat. I have ate soy burgers, and I liked them o.k. Happy posting.

You probably feel not-so-great after you eat meat because the meat you eat probably comes from factory farms. Have you seen the documentary "Food Inc"? I highly reccomend it to people who eat grocery store meat.

my wife is crazy over this stuff. but she can not have it all of the time for we have a growing toddler at home who needs to eat a balance diet and protein as well. she is in the process on teaching our son to eat vegetable and i can not believe that the other day our viand was ampalaya and it was a major success for our son ate it. so back with your discussion when we eat out she sometimes buy her food at bhodi its a vegetarian stall and she enjoys eating the food she bought from there.

My sister has been a vegetarian for about 6 years and she loves those products. THat's because she doesn't know how to season when she's cooking her own food. I've tried them myself and I found it spongy, but the flavor was good. I really like the soy dogs and prefer them over actual hot dogs.

Yes, I love soy products specially soy milk. Even though I am not a vegetarian, I enjoy drinking soy milk 3 times a day because it gives me my daily protein needs. Because soy has 33% of pure protein.
