Weight Watchers ChickPea Patties - Zero Points

I honestly don’t know how it has taken me 40 years to arrive at the conclusion that eating meat is bad for me, for the planet and well just plain GROSS. I mean I profess to love my rescue dogs and yet I am willing to sacrifice the lives of farm animals so I can serve them on a bun?! It just doesn’t make good sense ( whereas this Weight Watchers ChickPea Patties – Zero Points recipe makes all the sense but I digress).

And the truth is every time I look at a package of slabs of beef saran wrapped at the grocery I just see faces–faces of all the poor animals who didn’t deserve to meet their deaths because I wanted a burger.

I know what you are thinking– I don’t really feel a kinship with animals so therefore I have no problem eating them. Well I will counter that argument with this report released by the World health organization– in which The WHO’s cancer research unit now classifies processed meat as “carcinogenic to humans” based on evidence from hundreds of studies, and linked it specifically to colon, or colorectal, cancer.

If we didn’t eat animals that come from a farm the would become extinct
Think about it!

  Commercial agriculture HUGELY contributes to climate change, which is a threat to human life. We could turn this around if we all became vegetarians, which will never happen.
  But I think this comes down to humanity. I am not sure we are doing a favor to animals who exist in a small cage their entire lives.
  I’ve been a vegetarian nearly all my life after realizing that if I’m not willing to shoot a cow in the head, I shouldn’t pay for someone else to do it.

Made this- the patties didn\’t stick together, even after adding an a third egg.
