If you think vegetarianism is just a “hippie” movement from the 1960s then you’re way off! Vegetarianism developed as a philosophy as long ago as the ancient Greeks, as you’ll hear in this episode of the Vegetarian Zen Podcast. We’ll discuss the first vegetarian societies, the influence of nineteenth and twentieth century writers and food manufacturers, and more.

VZ 074: Finding Vegan & Environmentally-Friendly Gifts
Hi girls. Just listened to episode 75 with great pleasure. Vegetarian eating is not completely new to me. As a child by grandparents followed this eating style. My grandmothers parents were Quaker and later Seventh Day Aventist. Strong emphasis on vegetarian and vegan life. We ate an alternative meat product called Nuteena and Proteena. From your dscription of Protose it was very close to the same recipe. It came in a round can that resembled Spam in some ways. I loved it!! In a sandwich or fried it was yum!! Very nutty flavor. Nuteena was my favorite. It’s no longer manufactured by the long time maker Loma Linda Foods. I miss it. But the process to make it is not a simple one. So I won’t be attempting it any time soon. If you are successful with the Protose recipe I will be first in line at your Vegetarian Zen food truck to give it a try!!!
This episode was very interesting for me.
Your always loyal listener!

That’s so interesting, Susan! What was the difference between Nuteena and Proteena? They do sound like Protose. I’m not sure if I’m going to actually give Protose a try, but I’ll definitely post the results if I do.
Thanks so much for listening, as always!
Peace & Veggies,
Larissa
