health store
animalsareGod’screatures asked:


One name is “Farm” , rest names of brand-I forgot.

It is a “looking like hotdog” for only $4.95 ,and it is made by turkey. I was angry a little because I don’t think they should sell at health store. I don’t eat meats but why selling turkey? I thought it was tofu at first :it actually is organic turkey, it also has turkey in organic food (sausage) . I am still new to veggie thing, tell me…is it okay to buy organic turkey from them?

    Turkey isn’t vegetarian. Vegetarian means it doesn’t contain pieces of animal. Turkeys are animals, so they aren’t vegetarian. Julia S

    You could always stop being a vegiterian and just eat white meat like my friend does he eats organic white meats milks and cheese and calls himself semi vegiterian lol. lori

    Obviously eating turkey would NOT be vegetarian. The fact that it claims to be ‘organic’ is irrelevant. It’s still an animal.

    Vegetarians do NOT eat animals. Period. Andromache

    No, if you are a true Vegetarian or Vegan you do not eat any meat even if it is Organic. Just because it is organic does not mean that the animal was not tortured prior to being killed. Another thing is how do you know for sure it is Organic? People will tell you anything to get you to pay more or buy something. The meat industry lies all of the time. Not to mention the fact that even if it is Organic eating any animal product in very unhealthy. Animal Protein causes health problems like Diabetes and High Blood Pressure even if it is Organic. Why eat Organic Turkey when you can buy Tofurkey or any other Vegan meat replacement item? Again any true Vegetarian or Vegan would not eat any meat at all. Organic or not it does not matter it is still meat! The whole entire point of being Vegetarian or Vegan is that you do not eat any meat at all! Flexitarians eat Organic meat not true Vegetarians or Vegans. Andrea

    When they say organic turkey, it means that the turkey was fed healthily and that it was taken care of in a natural, pesticide-free environment. It just means it reaches the USDA’s standards for ‘organic’.

    It is still MEAT. If you’re a vegetarian look for packages (usually in the bottom left corner) that say “Vegetarian Turkey”. It should always usually say Vegetarian meaning it is tofu, or whatever else they use. sharonisabamf
