Rethinking Meal Structures
You know you're a veg type when a lot of what you eat comes in quotation marks. For example, I just broke fast on some "bacon", "buttered" toast and coffee with "cream". Not that I'm complaining. That Morning Star fake-on (facon? fakon? I don't know, man) was good enough to make me rethink my policy on meat substitutes and Earth Balance tastes butterier than the butteriest butter. And neither is full of things that will kill me from the outside. In fact, I've recently come to the conclusion that vegan junk food is the best kind, because you can gorge on frozen burritos and "ice cream" and not feel like a molten ball of grease after the fact.
That being said, I still have some problems with constructing a vegetarian or vegan diet from reconstructed meat-eaters' menus. The social constructs regarding what, when and how we eat tend to obstruct the whole foods, plant-based diet that's not only compassionate toward other sentient life, but also much healthier than the norm.
