I’m not quite a vegetarian. I still eat meat occasionally, though when I do buy meat I do my best to get happy meat–meat from animals that weren’t raised entirely in a metal box eating the animal equivalent of Soylent Green.
Whether or not you believe that the meat you’re eating really did come from humanely raised, organic feed, free range, grass fed animals, you can’t help but notice that eating happier meat definitely eats away at your grocery budget. It’s a lot easier and cheaper to go vegetarian.
It’s better for weight loss, too, it turns out. The vegetarian versions of your favorite meats won’t trick you into thinking they’re the real deal, but some of them are plenty good.
Would've looked better with grilled onions and peppers
Take the Morningstar Farms Italian sausages. They look reasonably like a sausage, and taste good, too. And only 120 calories?!? That’s 3 WW Points, for those who are Pointy like me. Heck, I can go crazy and eat it on a bun!
Compare that to a pork Italian sausage, with 286 calories and a whopping 8 Points. Yikes! Gimme fauxage any day.
