Ordering Food On-line: 'The Vegetarian Site'

Not finding the food you want in Statesboro? Unless you're really passionate about your diet, it can be difficult to stick to it when there is such little variety of veg*an options in town. Vegans hoping to find cheaper, quicker, ready-to-nuke sorts of foods can turn to the Internet for those simpler options. Vegetarians still transitioning from meat might want to check the Internet for fake meats that aren't available in the area.

Two years ago, I had never bought a single thing over the Internet. Today, I regularly check out my favorite sites for sale items and great foods I can't find here. Below I've described one of my regular sites, 'The Vegetarian Site.' I've never had a bad experience ordering from their company. In fact, the first time ever ordering from them, they e-mailed me not an hour after I sent in my order to let me know one of the products was back-ordered, asking if I preferred to have it shipped separately or a day later with the rest of the order. That's customer service!

The Vegetarian Site
Although The Vegetarian Site doesn't have an incredible amount of food products compared to some others, what I have tried from them has been very good. (Check out their food section here) Their hummus and falafel mixes are perfect for a quick snack and they have a lot of protein, nutrition and snack bars for when you're on-the-go.

They have several “Harvest Direct” fake meat products, such as “Strip Style Soy Chicken,” “Veggie Ribs Mix” and “Soy Taco Mix.” They also have many “Dixie Diner” quick meals, such as “Tuna (Not!) Salad Mix,” “Oriental Delight Choice Cuts & Sauce” and “Tenderloin Tips'n Mushroom Sauce.” I haven't tried any of their 'meat' products yet, but I've heard great things about them.

My favorite things to buy from The Vegetarian Site are chocolate bars, cookies and snack bars, but honestly, I haven't tried a single thing from them that I haven't loved. They commonly have products on sale too, which is a great bonus for the poor college student. (Check out their sale items now!)
