Where are all the Morningstar Veggie Dogs?

Smart Ones make a decent dog. It's usually near the tofu.

This is what I was sent. :(

I got a similar letter. I'd love to know the real story, especially in light of the recall of the Corn Dogs earlier this year.

I think they are definitely hiding something, the corn dogs were popular among meat eaters too! I need a good veggie dog ASAP!

I too have been searching everywhere for my beloved veggie dogs. All of a sudden can't find them anywhere. Based on the number of people trying to find them, I find it hard to believe they were discontinued due to not enough demand. I'd love to know the real story. All of the other veggie dogs are lame in comparison to Morningstar.

I feel everyones pain! Vegie dogs have been my lunch several times a week for probably 20 years...the letter from Morningstar does make it sound final...i kept hoping that they would be back. Hopefully, another company will see the need and fill it!

i thought i was the only one, why was I thinking about this first thing in the morning, i do not know. I will email morningstar too. those were the only dogs me and the kids liked.

Okay, so Morningstar discontinued veggie dogs and veggie steak strips; my favorites. Then they discontinued the Gardenburger BBQ Riblets and replaced them with the Morningstar BBQ Riblets - "same recipe" they say. I beg to differ with them. Hey guys, the Italian sausages and the Grillers Prime are very tasty. You might want to work on discontinuing them as well. Who the heck makes these decisions?

...but those sausages have a lot more fat than the veggie dogs did. (for those of us concerned with fat content)
