Fakin Bacon

Oh fearless reader, The lessons we learn when we over generalize. Today's topic? MEAT (and it's replacement). In my experience the veggie "sausage crumbles" are awesome in spaghetti sauce. Nobody can tell the diff, they are too busy picking out the shrooms to consider that the meat might be fake. The veggie breakfast patties merge into egg& cheese biscuts NO PROBLEM. But lordy, what did I do? In an effort to cut out some fat I purchased Morning Star Farms "veggie" bacon strips. Really have you ever seen anything so disgusting? They looked like the Laffy Taffy candy from the '70's.
Okay the first ingredient is egg whites, which isn't a problem for me or the fam, but a vegan person might be cranky, but then why would a vegan person want to eat fake bacon? The whole question becomes far too puzzling rather quickly.Honestly they look so foul. But in the spirit of science we decide to cook them up and taste them. They smelled like bacon, but ICK! They tasted like fortune cookies. Nasty and the texture was like...styrofoam. Since when does bacon have crenellations? NASTY.

And ya know what is really bad?? I bought two boxes. I would feed it to the dogs but that would be cruel. Egg whites, soybean oil and proppylene glycol--NOT food.
