was wondering if any of you know how to make the veggie meat? i would like to prepare my food using that.

Now I can buy some brands at my local supermarket, which is even more convenient. Morningstar Farms' steak and chicken strips are really good, depending on what you are making.
If you really want a recipe to make your own veggie meat, try Googling. Google comes up with some surprising things.

I've also found several great recipes on this site as well! Tempeh is amazing b/c it really feels like meat - somehow it even feels like a lil bit gristle and burned fat on the edges when you prepare it! My husband pretty much HATES fake meat but loved the BBQ Tempeh I found!
I don't really care for seitan but alot of people swear by it and of course veggie patties/burgers are a staple!
You can also find some really awesome raw veggie patty recipes.... I have one that I love but can't find it.
Hope these help!

One package equals 1 1/2 pounds of ground beef and can be used as a substitute in nearly any recipte (meat pies, sloppy joes, spaghetti sauce, etc.). It cooks much quicker than regular ground beef so the recipe preparation needs to be altered slightly - but it sure does taste like the real thing. You can get it in a few flavours - regular, italian, chicken...
