I brush my teeth a lot. My teeth are in my backpack. I want to be a nurse. I am vegan. I have seen the movie Goldmember.
Speaker 1
Hello there, I hope you've brushed your teeth this morning.
Speaker 2
I brush my teeth a lot. I brought my teeth in my backpack today.
Speaker 1
That's great, in my 14 year as a dentist I hate when people forget them.
Speaker 2
I am hoping to do omething imilar, I wanna be a nurse.
Speaker 1
There is high demand for nurses in the midwest where I live.
Speaker 2
Great but I don't want to relocate no vegans there only cows.
Speaker 1
My life isn't great here, my wife won't even sleep in the same room as me.
Speaker 2
Sounds terrible get a divorce.
Speaker 1
Well, then I would have to give back my gold wedding ring, and gold is my favorite.
Speaker 2
Did you ever see the movie goldmember?
Speaker 1
No, but my twin sister did. She raves about it constantly.
Speaker 2
You should see it you'd like it if you like gold.

Speaker 1
How long have you been a vegan? 
Speaker 2
I became a vegan 3 years ago.  I choked on a hotdog and almost died.  Stopped eating meat after that. 
Speaker 1
I can see how that would change your outlook on life. Has it been hard staying vegan?
Speaker 2
It's not that bad, Beyond Meat has really helped when I crave the taste.
Speaker 1
I've never tried Beyond Meat. Does it really taste like meat?
Speaker 2
100 percent.  I did a blind taste test with my neighbor and he couldn't tell the difference.  You should try it.
Speaker 1
I will. I love a good burger but worry about what it is doing to my insides.
Speaker 2
I won't lie, sometimes I get a little twisted up inside if I eat Beyond Meat products on back to back days.  It's a rare treat.  
Speaker 1
I imagine eating straight veggies and rice and other natural ingredients is much better for the body, but sometimes there isn't enough time to prepare a meal from scratch.
Speaker 2
Oh, I don't cook.  I order all my meals from EatCLeanBro.  They have lot's of vegan dishes and it's not terribly expensive.
Speaker 1
I've never heard of them. I'm learning so much tonight. There are many nights where I'm exhausted after work and I end up shoving garbage in my mouth becuase it's convenient.
Speaker 2
Oh I do that too.  Being vegan doesn't mean that I don't enjoy candy bars and italian ice!

I have a twin sister. I am concerned about what I eat and my health. I feel that there isn't enough time to eat healthy. I do not like what my diet consists of.
Speaker 2
I brush my teeth a lot. My teeth are in my backpack. I want to be a nurse. I am vegan. I still crave meat I like the Beyond Meat replacement. I agree that the replacement Beyond Meat messes up my insides. I have seen the movie Goldmember. I don't cook. I order prepared foods.
Speaker 1
I tried the Beyond Meat you told me about. 
Speaker 2
How did you like, and how did you cook it?
Speaker 1
I was not much of a fan of the product. I do not think I would eat it again. Regular meat is much better. 
Speaker 2
It's not for everyone, but I sure like it. There are other options too like impossible burgers. Have you tried those?
Speaker 1
I have not tried those yet. Maybe I will give them a try. Can they be bought at a regular grocery store?
Speaker 2
Yes, they are right there with the meat usually. I know you said you wanted to eat a little healthier. Sadly, though, vegan products like these are high in fat. 
Speaker 1
Well, I think if I can find some low carbohydrates foods, I will be okay with the high fat content. 
Speaker 2
Yeah, I try but it's hard when I don't cook and order everything. I'm curious if you have any recipes for some go-to dinner meals like if you're in a hurry to eat?
Speaker 1
I like to try and meal prep the best I can because I can get a bunch of meals out of the way in a short amount of time. Then when I am in a rush, I already have a meal made in the fridge. 
Speaker 2
Yes! That makes a lot of sense to me. What kinds of things are you prepping for work?
Speaker 1
I like to grill chicken in the beginning and middle of the week. I think its a quick entrée and can be used for many different dishes.
Speaker 2
That's a good idea. Great for a diet too. I know you said you were worried about your health and what you eat.

Regular meat tastes to much better than Beyond Meat.  I probably won't eat Beyond Meat again. I have not tried Impossible Burgers. I want to eat healthier. I cook a bunch of meals at once so I can eat them later. I have a job.  I make chicken twice a week for dishes.  I am worried about my health and my diet.

Speaker 1
I tried the Impossible Burger and I LOVE it!
Speaker 2
Do you think you'll turn vegan now?
Speaker 1
I'm not sure yet, though I'll definitely be incorporating more vegan and vegetarian dishes into my diet.
Speaker 2
How's your twin sister? I've heard of siblings who end up both turning vegan. My sister for instance is also vegan
Speaker 1
She's not as health conscious as me. Somehow we turned out pretty differently haha. Did your sister go vegan around the same time as you?
Speaker 2
She was a vegan since high school! Her health class really influenced her. I might try to cook more food instead of ordering out. Do you have any recipes?
Speaker 1
There's a stuffed peppers recipe I have that's amazing. I've never tried it using a meat substitute, but I bet that you could use the Impossible Burger as the filling.
Speaker 2
Maybe you can try stuffed peppers with chicken? I actually miss chicken haha
Speaker 1
Haha yes I could certainly try that, but I'm trying to think of things you'd like, too! Maybe you could use seitan instead of chicken!
Speaker 2
What's seitan? I've never heard of this actually
Speaker 1
It's a plant protein product. It uses soy if I'm not mistaken. I once tried it at a Thai restaurant and was blown away at how tasty it was!
Speaker 2
I love thai food! Maybe you can take me there one day

I have a sister and she is vegan. My sister was vegan since high school. I'd like to cook more instead of ordering out. I love Thai food.
Speaker 1
Would your sister have any vegan recipes since she's been vegan so long?
Speaker 2
Oh, I'm sure she does! The key is really in the seasonings. She uses a lot of seasoning blends.
Speaker 1
Does your sister cook for you? I wish I could get someone to meal prep for me
Speaker 2
No, I do my own cooking when I don't order out. She doesn't like spicy seasonings and I do.
Speaker 1
Have you tried any of the meal kit services? They seem okay but I am not sure it seems like you still have to spend time cooking.
Speaker 2
We've used HelloFresh for a while now. An actual vegan might have less variety but the omnivore menu are really good. The longest time we've spent is about 35 minutes.
Speaker 1
wow I am not sure I have the patience or time to spend 35 minutes on a meal. When I meal prep I cook many meals in a couple hours.
Speaker 2
Well, the 35 minutes is for all the prep like cutting herbs and vegetables. If one prepped while another cooked you'd take ten minutes off the time.
Speaker 1
That might be okay I guess it would save time shopping. I don't have much patience for cooking though I wish I could find someone to just deliver prepped meals to me
Speaker 2
I think there are a few services that do that although they're more expensive. I saw one that I was looking at for my daughter who's a letter carrier and too tired to cook when she gets home, but they're like $15 per serving.
Speaker 1
Ya that is a lot then I would be better of getting takeout its too unhealthy. I guess I will have to keep cooking for myself
Speaker 2
I like cooking, although maybe not so much now in summer!
