The ADA Compares Vegetarian Meats For Thanksgiving
Ever wonder how Tofurky compares to Field Roast or to that ever odd food Quorn? The American Dietetic Association put together a chart comparing various vegetarian Thanksgiving alternatives. For those of you who may not know, the AMA is the most trusted voice on nutrition and they have repeatedly reported that a vegetarian/vegan diet is totally healthy and even has health benefits like a reduction in the likeliness of heart disease and some cancers.
They reported that the good news is, all but one of the vegetarian alternatives contained no saturated fat. All were a great source of protein. Sadly, all of these products contain at least one of the common food allergens. And all (especially my favorite – Field Roast) had WAY more sodium than one would find in a turkey.
Click here to view the info and the chart so that you may better know your options when it comes to celebrating a compassionate/delicious Thanksgiving.
And while you’re thinking of the holiday, consider sponsoring a turkey at Farm Sanctuary. You can do it for as little as $25. I keep going back and forth between Gideon, Mello and Olive.
