I know what you mean. I can tell fake meat from real meat in restaurants . I had a plain chicken breast at steak n' shake and that wasn't a real chicken breast imo. I just try to avoid eating out when possible. It's hard to do though when traveling.Birdie said:I'll choose a latte or in a restaurant a beef patty with fruit. First I check to make sure the meat is real, not with added junk. Most chains have things added. I have asked at Applebee's and they told me they have nothing I can eat. Everything comes prepped they say... I think that eggs sunny side up or poached eggs, bacon and oj might be okay anywhere. I was relieved to hear Ray say oj will take care of the nitrates.
