Soy can, in fact, imitate all of those meats, and it can be pretty damn good (see Magic Carpet's tofu meatballs, or many Morningstar Farms products). Meat knockoffs say, "Look, you can have the same thing without anything having to die or live in abuse for it." Maybe you should give this stuff a try and see that it's pretty good. Soy is protein, veggie are generally pretty healthy (exception of those fries, obviously), and a vegetarian diet is not only better for you personally but also for the hundreds of animals that would be killed in your name. I'm not a huge PETA fan, but the American meat industry is too disgusting to be ignored. Thanks for telling me about the cart, though! I'll check it out.
