BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — For the first time in 12 years, the National Buffalo Chicken Wing Festival has offered a meatless alternative.
Thousands of chicken wing lovers flocked to the poultry mecca of western New York on Saturday to experience the latest and greatest in wings — including hummus dip and breaded green beans flavored like the real thing.

I always find it funny when people who don't eat meat try to find things that taste like meat.

As a Buffalo native... NO!!!

Exactly. My fiancee is a vegetarian and nearly every meal she eats will include some kind of fake meat. She then makes fun of me for eating meat all the time and yet I only eat meat every other day or so.

[stoner01]

A world without meat just isn't worth it. Who wants to eat plants all the time. No variety.

[Rooskibar03]

Dear vegetarians, my food shits on your food.

That is all.

[BigDee]

You guys are being incredibly insensitive to vegetables.

[Double00]

Fake Meat = Crimes against Nature. Hell, I even count turkey bacon in that.

Oh, and the only way to break her of that habit is through constant exposure. You need to up your meat eating to every meal. And start snacking on that bacon jerky in between meals. Pretty soon she'll simply overload from exposure and eat real food.

How's that PETA saying go? What's the difference between a Cow and a Puppy? Well, a cow is filled with hundreds of delicious hamburgers!!!

I eat meat at every meal, and it is all blood rare just for the vegetarians out there!

if god did not want me to eat animals, why did he make the out of meat?

[Ed_S]

I follow the Paleo diet so have meat with every meal:) I have yet to figure why 'leaf eaters' make some of their meals look like meat products?

Funny thing about all this vegan/vegetarian hoopla... imitation meat just isn't the real thing, and meat is essential to a balanced, nutritious diet that is required for optimum health. There are complex proteins, calories, vitamins and minerals found in meat that cannot be found elsewhere and are essential to total wellbeing. Meat also provides the best and most abundant source for monounsaturated fats, vital for energy and body maintenance.

And it tastes good too.

[blacklabel]

Yeah, I don't get it. I'm not against vegetarianism but why make a fake version of something you don't want to eat. I don't try to make meat broccoli.

I have a few vegetatians in my family, fattest people in the family, they cover up their vegies with so much cheese

That isn't true. The most soluble type of proteins are from plants. B12 is pretty much the only thing that you can't find a good vegetarian source for now.

I also think that vegetarians should just not go to those festivals if they have a problem with them. They should just have their own fake meat festival if it is so important.

[Justin]

Compare the average vegan to the average Paleo adherent.

Let me know which one looks more healthy.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say this likely wasn't demanded by vegetarians so much as good old fashioned capitalism of the festival's organizers trying to expand the market.

[RMAC757]

That festival is a good time. Honestly though, who cares if people are vegetarians? I've got friends who don't eat meat and they're not shoveling tofu at anyone but themselves.
