Matchup of the Week: ‘Pork’

The following article was written by Keegan Baur.

Recently, I’ve been wondering what dishes are usually the centerpieces of families’ holiday meals. My own family has never really observed conventional traditions: On Christmas day, we always open presents in the morning, eat a late lunch at a local Mongolian stir-fry restaurant (where the food is made-to-order and cooked in front you), and then head to the movie theater in the afternoon. But it seems that many families prefer to eat some form of ham, pork, beef, or turkey. No matter what you grew up eating during your holiday feasts, there’s almost always a tasty vegan substitute available—and it’s usually healthier for you! Take a look at the “pork” comparison below:

As you can see, the vegan version from Match has fewer calories and less fat, sodium, and cholesterol. And no mother pigs and piglets suffered any abuse in order to produce it! This year, leave pigs, cows, and turkeys off your holiday menu. All of these tasty alternatives await:

• May Wah Vegan Smoked Ham
• Field Roast Celebration Roast
• Field Roast Classic Meatloaf
• Gardein Beefless Tips
• Gardein Savory Stuffed Turk’y
• Tofurky Roast
