Worthington substitute

[Guest guest]

Being raised a vegetarian and never eating meat, we have always used

the Worthington/Loma Linda foods and love the many selections available.

This company has been for a very long time helping the Vegetarian have great

tasting healthy alternative for meat. Many people are very thankful for

this pioneer in the Vegetarian Meat substitute industry. Our family sure is

one. You know we need to support companies like this one and the others

that provide great meat, seasonings and dairy substitutes for us all to

enjoy and round out our vegetarian diets with, or any of them could go out

of business.

 

Here is some info about the company.

As the leading brand of vegetarian foods, Worthington® & Loma Linda®

products are low in cholesterol and lower in fat, especially saturated fat,

when compared to their meat counterparts. Direct from your pantry or right

out of the freezer, these delicious, meatless alternatives are perfect for

quick and nutritious meals.

 

 

Worthington® & Loma Linda® are makers of great tasting foods. For over

65 years, we have created new and innovative products for consumers looking

for vegetarian options.

 

Worthington Foods® began as Special Foods in 1939, founded by

psychiatrist Dr. George Harding. Dr. Harding was committed to providing

health for the body and mind with an emphasis on nutrition and

vegetarianism. The first products were the meat alternatives Proast (dark

meat) and Numete (light meat). Special Foods grew throughout the years, and

saw a jump in production due to a shortage of meat during WWII. In 1945,

Special Foods changed their name to Worthington®.

In the decades to follow, Worthington Foods® led the way to new

vegetarian products. During the 1950's, Worthington® increased in size due

to acquisitions and new product developments, such as Soyamel and Veja-Link,

the world's first vegetarian hot dog. In the 1960's, Worthington experienced

two major breakthroughs. First, using spun soy fiber to create a meat-like

texture helped to bring new vegetarian products to market. Second,

Worthington® was the first to bring frozen vegetarian food into

supermarkets.

 

In the 1970's, under new ownership by Miles Laboratories, Worthington®

introduced Morningstar Farms® products. In 1982, the original founders

bought back the business and, soon after, Dale Twomley became CEO, taking

the company public in 1992.

 

Worthington® continues its tradition today by offering great tasting

vegetarian foods for you.
