"Q. Dear Umbra,

I've significantly cut down on my meat intake in the past few years, although I still enjoy fish or a turkey sandwich now and then. I try to eat more "whole food" choices (beans, lentils, whole wheat) in lieu of meat, but occasionally I give into fake meat products. Sometimes fake chicken stir-fry is really satisfying, but I'm still a little suspicious about how good the production and consumption of fake meat really is for our bodies and the planet. How do you rate fake meat? Is it possible to make your own fake meat at home?"
