Actually, I have never made or tried a meatless burger so must lookout for them in our supermarkets. I do think nowadays most people are cutting down on their consumption of meat products.

I'm mostly vegetarian (used to be fully veg now only eat it once or twice a week with friends) and when I read about conditions in meat processing plants it really turns me off meatdreams of sourdoughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09278295694375268244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37695777.post-43259062468793039972020-06-04T16:35:13.901-04:002020-06-04T16:35:13.901-04:00Looks like you've been eating well Mae, despit...Looks like you've been eating well Mae, despite the times. Can't say that we've had any less meat, being that I get humanely raised, organic pork and chicken, and locally raised grass fed beef. Just glad we live where we do, lots of open country. I'm also happy that restaurants are re-opening, so we can eat out occasionally!

That being said, we don't eat it often since we prefer lamb, chicken or vegetarian meals. The commercial big business meat packing plants are horrid.

Just up my street! <br />It's brave of you to try and eat meatless (and for those reasons). I live rurally and can source my meat locally. But perhaps there is a farmers market near you where you can get meat that is not mass produced, or even organic., It will be more expensive, but then it will be an occasional treat. A real treat.<br />I Liscahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06055538730629891703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37695777.post-44911962090757492042020-06-02T22:35:58.139-04:002020-06-02T22:35:58.139-04:00Who knew that vegetarian could look so good!

We recently bought part of a cow from a local farmer so no meat processing plant was involved. So many farmers are suffering because of this craziness. If you still want meat without supporting the meat plants, I suggest going to your local farmers. <br /><br />Deliciously Ella has some Kate Yetterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12753398916038349242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37695777.post-6227672302347212692020-06-02T16:24:22.391-04:002020-06-02T16:24:22.391-04:00A beautiful selection of foods.
