But I REALLY REALLY LIKE boca burgers, and I really don't like meat. Also sugar makes me sleepy and if I ate an ice cream brownie I would have to go home and go to bed. I can't enjoy it beause I know it will make me sick. So I prefer the sugar-free ice cream not because I want to lose weight (I don't!) but because it is far more pleasurable for me.
I think if your lady wanted to try boca burgers because she tried one and liked it, then more power to her! Why is a boca burger less "real" than a beef one? It is made of real soy, real corn, real herbs, and it is real delicious.
But this isn't about "real" food or "fake" food. If you prefer beef over soy, then that's fine; if you prefer bac-os to the actual bacon bits (as my whole family does!) then that's fine too.
The objections people are having are with your reactions to her gustatory experimentation; I myself am also questioning your reaction to her desire to improve her weight and change her hair. I think there are boundary issues going on; it's not fair that your wife can't feel free to try new foods or new hairstyles without fear of anger and false accusations of adultery.
I seriously thought this thread was a joke at first, but now I'm honestly concerned for what kind of life a woman would lead when coming home with a box of tofu would get her this kind of flack.
