[originaltext]A: But you know what a lot of people say: they’re always thinking

A: But you know what a lot of people say: they’re always thinking incorrectly, like where I’m gonna get protein if I’m not eating meat, but there are so many other ways you can get it.
B: Oh, my gosh, there is so much protein in whole grains, in beans, in legumes, like chickpeas, black beans, lentils, tofu, seitan, all kinds of high protein meat alternatives, so protein is definitely not a problem.
A: All right, the proof is all in front of us, so what do we have here? I’m really gonna to taste this.
B: Yes. Well, these are foods that are my traditionally favorite foods, all American foods that I really don’t want to give up. So this is a pasta Bolognese and it’s made with meatless meat crumble, so it tastes and looks like the traditionally favorite food, but there is nothing from an animal in it. And it tastes really good.
A: Meatless crumble, what did you say?
B: They’re meatless meat crumble, so you can find it in your grocer’s freezer or refrigerator, and you just stir it up just like you would with ground beef, and you pour it over the pasta, and it tastes just like your spaghetti Bolognese.
A: That’s good.
B: And you know the pasta ... the pasta doesn’t have eggs in it. A lot of people think that pasta has eggs in it, but only fresh pasta has eggs. So if you buy box pasta, you are fine, you are eating vegan food.
A: They get no meat in this.
B: No. Nothing. So you’re not gonna feel like you’re missing out on your favorite traditional food.
A: Great. What do we have here? What is it? This is chicken Parmesan? Wow, not chicken ...
B: No. This is like the classic American dinner that I ate all the time, which is chicken Parmesan, mashed potatoes and green beans. So what I use here is a product called Gardein, and that’s a high protein meat alternative. You can find it in the freezer or refrigerator at your grocer’s anywhere.
A: OK.
B: It’s loaded with protein, no saturated fat, no cholesterol, and it looks and tastes like chicken soup. Anything you would make with chicken, you can make with Gardein. It’s really really good.
A: Oh, come on.
B: I know, right? It’s really like anything you would have with chicken: you can make this. So I love, love, love this product. And the mashed potatoes are made with soymilk and nondairy butter, so it’s nothing from an animal but still tastes like your classic mashed potatoes.
A: Kids, you can’t get kids to go vegan: it’s very difficult to get them to.
B: Well, here is the thing — don’t tell them.
A: OK.
B: You are gonna have your hotdogs and hamburgers: but they are veggie dogs and veggie burgers. So it looks and tastes like the things that they are eating with their friends, but there’s nothing from an animal. And here is, again, one of my favorite products despite Gardein, it’s a crispy "seven-grain tenders", and it’s just like chicken fingers, and they will love it: you just put the dipping sauce down, and it’s good.
A: We have just a few seconds left. We gotta have dessert.
B: Well, these are two of my favorites — Purely Decadent, Cherry Nirvana is my favorite flavor.
A: Is this one?
B: Yes, and there’s no milk or dairy in there. And this one is made from coconut milk and it is so smooth and creamy. Right? You don’t miss anything.
A: This is some really good stuff. Kathy, thank you because it is healthy for us. It’s sometimes difficult for us to do and you really kind of walk us through it.
B: Just lean into it because there are so many great benefits in that.
A: Yeah, that is great.
