Dr. Phil McGraw Army Meal Prompts Vegetarian Questions
Written by Vegetarian Star on January 26th, 2010 in Food & Drink, TV Hosts.
Dr. Phil gave both some food voyeurism into one of his latest meals as well as some advice about repelling mosquitoes in a recent Tweet.
The food sounds great, but the anti bug biting advice…not so great.
“Jordan chks in: About to dine on a veggie lasagna MRE. Ate two match heads Army guys say sulfur keeps Mosquitos off of u.”
According to Backpacker magazine, the advice about eating match heads should be taken out by a grenade:
“It’s a myth. Matches contain poisonous chemicals in addition to sulfur. Save them for cooking dinner and not your intestines.”
Yikes!
But those vegetarian MREs made especially for the troops sound delish!
What are the options for a vegetarian defending his or her country?
The Epic Center showcases a variety of ready to eat meals the United States military provides to their service members and at a glance, the variety is impressive.
Veggie burgers, vegetable lasagna, vegetarian chili with beans and veggie crumbles over pasta with marinara sauce.
Beans, cheese and faux meat will satisfy some, but where’s the tofu, fruit and soy milk?
And are any of these entrees vegan for our egg and dairy free soldiers?
Still waiting for Dr. Phil to update his Twitter about the taste.
