Matchup of the Week: ‘Bacon’
The following article was written by Keegan Baur.
The past couple of weeks, I’ve been craving a vegan breakfast sandwich, and I think I’m finally going to make some next weekend! à Get excited. Why, you ask? Because this means I’ve been thinking about the ingredients I’m going to use, and I’ve got good news: Although “real” bacon is one of the worst things you can eat, the vegan version is definitely easier on your heart and your overall health.
