The things poor people eat all around the world:
- rice - beans - soy - potatoes - fish - veggies (anything dark but not too expensive)
The real key to a good-tasting meal is freshness, even with simple foods. Seasoning is like makeup for food.

'real' food has 'bio-sensor' ... you can tell just by looking, that a fruit/veggie is bad
it's much harder to 'sense' that in processed food
i find that fruit/veg is harder to fool with, maybe having to do with its low price (not much incentive to cheat)
in my country we got rotten meats cleaned with formaldehyde and then soaked in fresh blood to be sold along with fresh meats ... such thing is unheard of in veg/fruit (groceries can wax to prevent, but once fruit/veg is rotten, it's hard to 'rejuvinate')
being vegetarian leads to simpler life, no worries about mad cow, avian flu, etc
I'm not sure why, as a vegetarian, you feel you don't need to worry about avian flu. You catch it by being in close proximity to live poultry, not by eating it. As you've already said that your meat is dead when you buy it I don't see how your risk is any less than mine.
i don't have direct experience with avian flu (I was in Taiwan during SARS, wearing masks, but didn't catch the flu) so i assume i can get it from eating ... well maybe it's just a marketing tactic from kfc and others
but still the peace of mind is there :D not having to worry about some stuffs is great
Cooking chicken to 350C will result in charcoal, but will have done nothing to prevent avian flu as it was not a risk before. Just marketing.
This one line could be sold for a few dollars.
Nope. Culinary herbs and spices contain antioxidative and anti-glycative chemicals that in many cases also improve insulin sensitivity (e.g. they are anti-diabetic).
Yeah, and those poor people grow up short with bad teeth and don't live very long. If you can afford good meat and fish you should eat it and avoid starch.
Soy is pretty much toxic. Do some research.
