The left wants to ban meat or make it very expensive.

Lots of deer in the Northeast. I assume plenty of game elsewhere…

Wow! Who would have ever THOUGHT that 'tofurkey' isn't nutritious?

I mean - it's so ummm... - 'tasty'... (NOT - or so I hear.)

[Yardstick]

I think there’s a similar issue with the various non-dairy “milk” products. Milk has lots of high quality fat and protein plus minerals and other nutrients in assimilable form that you don’t get from drinking ground up oats or almonds.

It’s all mumbo-jumbo Frankenfood.

If anyone’s checked the labels on faux, substitute food...

Bureaucracy in a can.

It’s garbage, like virtually all processed foods. Idiots consume this.

If you want to have a vegetarian meal once a week to save on the grocery bill, and then put that saved cash into Gold, Silver or Lead, then by all means, do it!

As for me and mine? God put us at the top of the Food Chain for a reason. :)

I think they crossed the line when they started making pizza crusts from cauliflower! ;)

We've known how to do this right for a long time.

Actually, unlike most of these other meat substitutes tofu isn't highly processed and is pretty nutritious.

But tofurkey is gross.

Cults use vegetarian diets to control their enslaved followers

Diabetes is caused by eating too many refined carbohydrates not meat.

So the article starts with a false assumption.

“A diet largely made up of plant-based foods such as root vegetables, pulses, fruit and vegetables generally has a low climate impact”

BS! Grass Fed cattle have a much lower climate impact!

The availability may have increased drastically, but Beyond Meats is about to go bankrupt.

Beyond Meat is struggling, and the plant-based meat industry worries

And the proposal looked so good on paper.

The only time I remember having vegetarian meals when I was a child was during peak garden season when we were visiting in the south. Fried corn, fried okra, squash with plenty of butter, green beans seasoned with bacon....

God does not want us to do this!

[MMusson]

We won’t eat plant-based faux meat, but they think they can make us eat bug.
