Supposedly if you crave salty foods, it means you're under a lot of stress. That probably explains why I just went to Sonic and inhaled a large order of tots in about half a minute. There isn't really any good reason to go to Sonic. I was actually on my way to Sunflower to buy some spinach and baby salad greens (really, I was planning a soup and salad lunch), when I was suddenly overwhelmed by the urge to consume large quantities of potatoes dunked in grease and salt. Please tell me I'm not the only person who's susceptible to cravings like this.
In other news, can I please speak out in praise of Turtle Island Foods' marinated tempeh? In particular, the Smoky Maple Bacon flavor.
I'm still new to this whole veggie world. But after I tried this stuff (which is on sale at the Whole Foods on Academy, just FYI) I swear I will never miss bacon ever ever again. And trust me, when I ate meat I was a veritable bacon connoisseur. You don't ask someone in my family if they want bacon. You ask how many rashers of bacon they want. We take our bacon very seriously. It's like a religion.
For the uninitiated, tempeh is of course a soy product, so it's off the menu if you have a soy allergy. But if you're cool with soy and non-whole foods, it's awesome. So far I'm really not an enormous fan of fake meats (I'd honestly rather just eat vegetables, thanks), but tempeh has my stamp of approval. The Turtle Island tempeh bacon is vegan, too, unlike a lot of stuff from, say, Morningstar Farms.
Anybody have any insight on tempeh, fast food, or bizarre food cravings? Leave me a comment here or send me a message on Tumblr.
