although egg is questionable as non-meat, the bacon in this photo is a lot more questionable. it's supposed to be vegan, plant based bacon. it tastes horrible! nothing can take the place of bacon. although i have not eaten bacon in almost 20 years, i still remember and know how it smells and tastes like. plant just can't replace meat, who are we kidding?
i'm not a strict vegetarian, in fact, i am what is called ovo-pescetarian, i.e., i can have fish and i can have eggs. one thing that bothers me though is that while i can't tolerate the taste and smell of chicken, how could i eat egg, something that came out from the ass of an animal? 😜 think about it! i have actually thought about it a million times and i still don't understand.
maybe vegetarians and vegans should invent their own food, instead of 'mocking' real food.
for week 13 of the 52 captures challenge, the challenge is 'food'; we're supposed to play and be creative with food but that goes against the grain of my upbringing and culture to not play with food. considering we grew up rat poor and considering a lot of children, even adults, around the world go to bed hungry or do about their tasks without adequate nutrition.
Wow! That's quite a debate there! You are asking for trouble :D :D :D Not from me. I don't shoot vegetarians, just as I don't shoot carnivores. Unless in self defense. :D
I agree that vegetarianism should not rely on reinventing food. If you need something 'like' it, it basically means you need the real thing. It does not mean you have to have it in excess. My belief is that our eating problem is not WHAT we eat, rather HOW MUCH we eat.
By the way, that placeholder of bacon looks really yucky! But the egg is appetizing.
Haha, my Mum wouldn't eggs - she wasn't going to eat anything that came out of a chook's bum :) I regularly make meat free meals but when I eat meat, I want to eat meat, not something that is pretending to be meat.
I'm afraid to say that the "meat" doesn't look appetizing to me. I just would do without. I admire that you are ova-pescatarian vegetarian. Vegetarians don't have to invent food - they have vegetables and fruit. I've come to realize the taste that one misses because they are not eating ____ or ____ will never be the same. Either forget about it or go ahead and eat the real mccoy.
