At the same time, I’ve cut back on meat substitutes big time since I’ve grown to appreciate and like the taste of vegetables that much more since I’ve “turned.”

At times in my life I’ve become vegetarian due to lack of money, and can live perfectly happily on beans, bread and other veg. for long periods.

I don’t go in for “substitutes”. If I want meat I’ll eat meat, if I want veg. I’ll eat veg. Quite a lot of people find the idea of, say, “meatless sausage” a bit silly.

But, each to his own. Vegetables are incredibly healthier than meat, and tons cheaper too, as long as you avoid those expensive supermarket substitutes.
