I'm really having a hard time staying away from the wings and cheeseburgers.

i found these amazing vegan organic portobello/eggplant burgers that are out of control which helps with my turkey burger cravings and as far as wings, gardein makes a decent "chickn wing" but could also be fun to play around with the wing flavors you like with seitan or even tofu... happy eating ;)

I would recommend you either watch some of the videos on GoVeg.com, or check out the movie "Food, Inc." When you see how the animals are treated, and how dirty everything is, I guarantee you won't be wanting wings and burgers!!

Pam, so true. I originally made the transition toward this lifestyle for health reasons, but once I watched how chickens are raised in the Food, Inc. clip shown on Oprah, I vowed to never again to eat chicken. And I looovebuffalo wings! But seriously, it's not just immoral, it's absolutely disgusting. I haven't tried the Gardein buffalo chicken yet, but their scallopini is good, so I'm sure it's tasty as well.

Agree with all posters - I just finished Fast Food Nation and Skinny Bitch - both big motivators for me. Next up, Slaughterhouse, the book.

Thanks guys. I appreciate the help. The videos really did it for me.
