Veggie “Meat”, what is this? Good question, you can used mushroom, beans, nuts, seeds and more. I would strongly encourage you to use these over processed “fake” meats. In addition, if you body is signally you to eat meat, fish and/or poultry, this is for a reason. Listen. You can find many humane and ethical ranchers and fisher people to source what you body is cueing you to eat. Otherwise, if a plant based menu works for you, go for it.
