Hi Erin
I'm from Canada too (from London actually! Hi Beth!  ) Anyway, I've seen these commercials. They're veggie burgers, made mostly of soy, pretty much just like any other veggie-burger you could buy (i.e. Yves, which makes A TON of meatless subsitutes, like veggie ground round - like ground beef, you won't be able to tell the difference! - as well as sausages and lunch meats).
These Oh Naturel products have a similar nutritional value to regular veggie burgers, and they are *fairly* low fat. The reason that Schneiders is putting up a big ad campaign for this now is because their burgers are 'different' because apparantly they do better on the bbq than regular veggie burgers.
But yeah, if you like veggie burgers give them a try! (Just check the ingredients first just in case). I personally like veggie burgers. The trick is to not bite into it thinking you're about to taste a hamburger, because the taste is differnt. But it's good! You have to appreciate it for it's own taste, which may be a little difficult having grown up in Alberta! (my partner's from Edmonton, and does he ever love his steak! lol)
Anyway, hope that helps!
Cheers, Laurel.
