Sesame TVP Wrap with Spicy Peanut Sauce and Thai Salad
I think it’s safe to assume that many of the staff at vegetarian and vegan restaurants follow the same lifestyle as the cuisine, and that observation alone has always been an influence on my opinion. Most of the time those people just look rather ill! Obviously the other extreme isn’t healthy either- I’m definitely not advocating that people eat big steaks all the time- but seriously, how can anyone get excited over food that is made of something called ”Textured Vegetable Protein?”
