I’m pretty tolerant of junky fast ‘food’, and not completely against veggie based ‘meats’.
The first soybean based pseudo-steak I ate decades ago was pretty darn good.
(I do draw the line at Bill Gates ‘Lab made ‘meat’ though.)
And while it wasn’t advertised as ‘beyond meat” or veggie based or anything like that, I did stop at KFC on Monday and got a big box of ‘chicken tenders’ That used to be pretty decent real breast meat. I don’t know what was in them, but it sure wasn’t chicken. More like drywall paste with maybe some powdered beaks and claws. thrown in so they could claim ‘chicken by-products’.
Horrible. I managed to choke one down, but even the feral cat that comes by for an occasional meal wouldn’t eat the one I tossed out for it. The rest, I threw out a little farther, and MAYBE the crows ate them. But Crows will eat just abut anything.
But on the other hand, if the ‘supply chain problems’ continue to go the direction I think they will, people will be lucky to get drywall paste with beaks and claws.
Beyond Food.
We'll be eating Sawdust Bread, like during The Seige of Leningrad.
Funny how the folks who screamed about “Frankenfoods” have no problem with this.
“I can’t think of one reason why I would ever want to try fake meat.”
I always wondered why recipes try to make vegetable dishes look like meat.
Cucumber sandwiches aside, they trying to make it look like meat. Why bother? If consumers don’t eat meat why would one buy something that looks like meat?
Eat moar weeds
Before long we will be eating that fake waxed food that they use to shoot photo shoots of meals at restaurants, clubs, movies, etc. Fake everything before long. We might as well enjoy it, we have a fake government with fake leaders “misleading” us.
Nope.
Never seen butter advertised as tasting just as good as margarine either.
.
Well, I hope if it is sawdust bread, that it is at least Oak, Hickory, Walnut or some other hardwood sawdust.
Pine sawdust isn’t yummy at all.
Disgusting
Wekk, if you tried an Impossibke burger and didnt know it was plant, you might like it. It is my favorite burger now has the most flavor.
I saw that. Someone in the comments said they were overcooked, and it looked that way to me. I’ve tried a few brands of fake chicken nuggets/tenders. With enough bbq sauce, they were okay. Some better than others. None as good as the real thing. I’m not likely to buy fake nuggets at KFC.
Why do this? Are chickens on an endangered list?
With enough... they are okay. Yes, and if you are drunk enough, the ugliest and fatest woman might be “okay”, but is that any quality of life?
I honestly don’t understand this plant-based obsession to make vegetarian or vegan food look like “regular” food. I have no problems with salads and the occasional meatless Monday. But if you’re going to do strange hocus pocus to your food, you might as well just put maple glaze and preservatives on my bacon slices.
The Mrs bought some kind of “healthy” meatless burgers from Costco once during the summer. I was happy that everyone found them to be too gray and tasteless. The reason I was so happy was because none of them were outside by the grill when I cut open the package. Swear to Dog that I haven’t smelled anything like that since I opened a can for Prince and dumped it in her bowl. Worst wet dog food smell ever — in a meatless burger.

Yay! It includes titanium dioxide. From wiki:
Under Applications of Titanium Dioxide:
“The most important application areas are paints and varnishes as well as paper and plastics, which account for about 80% of the world’s titanium dioxide consumption. Other pigment applications such as printing inks, fibers, rubber, cosmetic products, and food account for another 8%. The rest is used in other applications, for instance the production of technical pure titanium, glass and glass ceramics, electrical ceramics, metal patinas, catalysts, electric conductors, and chemical intermediates.”
Also in under arm deodorant which I quit using after learning that.
