    theoretically you could try a vegan version of egg and bacon sandwiches - Just Egg frozen patties aren’t half bad, and seitan bacons sometimes are OK

    not sure if the idea is that you’re trying to reduce fats?

        you could look at local CSAs (community supported agriculture) and get a local, unprocessed source of meat that way if you’re committed to meat

        but in general meat is shown to be unhealthy, associated with higher risks of colon cancer, etc. (I need to fact check this, but I think the big picture advice is aligned with most medical associations’ suggestions that a plant based diet is much healthier and reduces health risks).
