OPINION: Plant-based alternatives
My relationship with vegetarianism
I throw a soy hotdog into the microwave uncovered and nuke it for 30 seconds too long. Unlike regular meat, my burnt, plant-based hotdog is bubbled and stretched. But I still put it into a bun and drench it with ketchup. It tastes the same as always, and after my meal I am left with two things: a guilt free conscious and eight grams of protein.
