> rich, hearty vegetable and bean soup Add some fried bacon bits and tell me it's not infinitely better for it. > fresh rustic sourdough bread Which is great on its own, but much better with some butter and ham. > vegetables roasted until they caramelize Which is a great side dish next to a good steak. Nothing wrong with vegetables, but none of these things are as satisfying as they would be combined with some animal products.
