Avoiding Meat With Vegetarian Pho Recipes

By Virginia Adams


For the majority of its existence, human society was composed of nomadic hunter gatherers. People banded together in disparate tribes and moved from place to place in search of food. But humanity eventually settled down. For practical reasons, these early settlements were built close to sources of water like rivers and lakes, since the crops they were growing, the chattel they were raising, and they themselves all needed water. This endeavor proved to be very successful. Humankind flourished, the population grew exponentially, and some of these early settlements would eventually become great cities. Through all of that change, centuries of war and generations of technological innovation, one thing remained constant. People kept on getting hungry. Food stopped being a scarce resource to be fought over and instead became a basic necessity that all individuals were entitled to. Now, in some parts of the world, there is such an abundance that some people can be a little fastidious about what they consume. Which is why some cook using vegetarian pho recipes.

A lot of east and southeast Asian countries will often have noodle dishes. Pho is a Vietnamese noodle dish. It is served warm and is made from rice noodles with beef or chicken. But either of those can be substituted with something else, since there are many meat substitutes on the market that are purported to taste like the genuine article.

As far as creatures goes, human beings are pretty omnivorous. The human digestive system is able to handle a diverse array of foods, though this can differ from person to person. But some persons are vegetarians, which means they only eat plant based foods.

The meat industry is an enterprise worth billions. Meat is also very tasty and many culturally significant dishes are made with meat. As such, it can be difficult to find recipes that substitute animal flesh for something plant based. But there are many chefs out there that have released such recipes. In fact, as people become more conscious of their eating, more and more vegan and vegetarian recipes are becoming moire widely available.

People switch to vegetarianism for a number of reasons. Some individuals just do not find meat palatable and find the thought of consuming the flesh of another animal to be disgusting. To others, not eating other animals is a moral and ethical choice, as they do not want to kill living things. Some people also disagree with the way the meat industry conducts itself, mowing down large sections of forests in order to create grazing land for chattel and other assorted livestock.

There can be benefits to a vegetarian diet. Meat is expensive, but anyone with a bit of dirt and some sunlight can plant their own vegetables to eat, which means that they save money. Vegetables are also packed with the nutrients that a human body needs, including the protein that athletes often consume meat for.

As a dish, pho is incredibly popular. Not only is it popular in its native country, it has global appeal. Pho appears as a dish in many restaurants all over the world.

The popularity of the dish has led to restaurants that specialize in serving it in various forms. A restaurant will generally have the beef and chicken varieties. But it will also have a vegetarian option and use an appropriate recipe.

Everything eats. As a species, human eat well. Well enough to be picky about their diets.
