What a bunch of nonsense!! I think the majority of people in this World jump at a chance to eat meat of any kind. I certainly do.
Bright spot is all you silly guilt-ridden people leave more good meat for those of us who really enjoy it.
Keep your guilt to yourself - don't try to impose it on the rest of us!

Shoul have probably used some different vernacular other than guilt-free to describe hamburgers. If you know anything about the factory farm industry, you are doing those poor animals a huge disservice by saying that. Avoiding calories is one thing, but dulling one's sense of compassion by marketing factory farm meat as "guilt-free" is quite another. I understand that yahoo was not trying to promote these burgers in that way, but someone should have thought about that a little harder.

After reading through the previous comments, I just had to laugh. Quit eating beef because it is destroying the environment faster than driving gas-guzzlers? Oh my! And red meat will give you cancer, yada yada yada. I come from a family of strong, muscle bound, home cooking raised people that ate BEEF growing up. What is giving people cancer is not the cow, its what people use to beef up the cow so quickly. Besides, we're all going to die from cancer somehow according to you research nuts. Whether it is artificial sugar in our soda, too much time in the sun, not eating enough of something or eating too much of something else. Get a life! Enjoy what you eat now, cause none of us are to say when or how we go.

I guess I have lived in Kansas for far too long - beef it's whats for dinner.... If you have been raised on the real thing for 3 meals a day most of your life - it is near impossible to go vegetarian. There just seems to be something entirely wrong with "soy crumbles" immitating hamburger!!

I have no idea what guilt has to with anything here. The focus of this article seem to be more on vanity than anything else.
processed and salted veggie mush is not a meat alternative by the way. The writer of this article should be butchered, so we can eat her flesh. That would be a truely guilt free alternative

As Jack LaLaine stated, "If man makes it don't eat it." All this stuff you are talking about is processed garbage. Sure, it may taste good and be low in calories but what other crap is in that stuff? Eat your vegetables.

to quiltyd: this article says nothing about helping the environment so lay off. The article is about trimming down your waist while still gettting the taste of your favorite foods, not the friggin o-zone.

I have tried most of the products that you have shown here and most of them are not fit to eat. But there is one thing for sure, this little commercial will sell a lot of this garbage. If your dog wont eat it, then you shouldn't eat it.

You've GOT to get used to the Boca stuff - but I'll tell ya, when put up against the alternative, it starts tasting awfully good! DO NOT GET THE MEAL STARTERS beef stuff. YUCK. There's some lines I won't even cross. :)

Check out http://fairwaypacking.com/store/content/view/17/37/ There are a few places in the US that sell Piedmontese Beef, which is lower in calories, fat and cholesterol than chicken or turkey. Nothing fake, 100% real beef. In Detroit, we have a few restaurants that carry this variety of meat and it's amazing...very lean and worth paying the shipping costs if you can't find it locally.

This is stupid. There is not one single study showing meat is bad for you. Other than cherry picked junk science. There is a whole mountain of evidence to the contrary.
You are contributing to the obesity epidemic by telling people to eat this processed crap, rather than meat.
Here are some supporting links. First some myth busting and a little information about fat.

Finally if you want to know what you should really eat, get your information from a doctor who specializes in this sort of thing and stop spouting off out dated mythology.

I agree with Deuce. Self control, Moderation and regular excercise are the key to losing weight and keeping it off. Oh yeah.... lay off the beer and soda!!!!

All this stuff tastes awful, and it's expensive. Most people who buy it think so, but they're so brainwashed stupid that they keep on eating and buying it anyway.
