I guess I can understand meat substitutes when you have meat lovers who avoid meat because of Mad Cow Disease. I've heard Garden Burgers are very good, but I've yet to try them.

I'm lazy when it comes to cooking, too. I like that you can get frozen vegetables and nuke'em, and they're ready to go. Some microwaveable meals are horrible. Those desserts by Betty Crocker are horrid. Some people say microwaving food is bad for you. I never know who to believe anymore, you know?

My bf did get some Lay's cheddar and sour cream chips, but I haven't eaten them yet, because we had dinner after he got home. He only got a 99-cent bag, though. I wanted a regular size bag. Sheesh!

That's what I hate about chicken and other things, too, Juliana, besides the slimy grossness. Cleaning up is a pain. Wash the cutting board, your hands, anything that gets touched. Vegetables are a pain in that way.
