Wheat burgers are great !!! There is a health food chain here called, "Wild Oats" that sells a wheat burger mixture. Just add water and form into patties and fry like a burger. They are spicey and taste great. Better than a burger.

Yeah, and I think we all missed the bit in the OP where they said,'As with all dietary advice MODERATION is key...'
Too much of anything isn't good for you. The best fish - the ones with the highest levels of omega 3 - are also the longest lived and the higher up the food chain...and as a consequence riddled with mercury. Eat a lot of that and it wont do you any good either. There's negative aspects of every food, and frankly a lot of problems would be avoided by something as simple as a balanced diet.

You're absolutely right.

What I should have said was, I prefer meat substitutes to red meat because I think they are easier to prepare (the main reason) and because I perceive them to be healthier.

I'm sorry if I offended anyone with my statements.

I love steak so I'm gonna continue to eat it no matter what they say...as with anything it comes down to excess...I've learned a lot about portion control and you should never have any meat larger in size than a pack of playing cards...balance it with good choices of vegies and fruit and good fats and you will do ok. I think it all has to do with eating the wrong things together...did you knwo you shouldn't eat fruits and vegetables at the same time? I heard that some time ago don't remember where now but it causes intestinal upsets quicker than anything except food poisoning. Just FOOD for thought...hehe
