Some day, hopefully long after I’ve shuffled off this mortal coil, I hope you’ll remember that I was the one who tried to warn you about this impending apocalypse. And now it’s at our doors. The socialist vegan hordes who are diligently (and successfully) working to get rid of all the cows and pigs so they can save the planet have a new target in their sights. Chickens. More specifically, they want to replace all of the eggs we eat with “eggs made from plants.” And they’re not joking. The work is already in progress. (Fox Business Network)
Impossible Foods’ Sheetal Shah on the company’s partnership with OSI Group in an effort to expand production and the company’s continued efforts to improve the quality and nutrition of its products.
Kroger is adding plant-based egg alternative Just Egg to shelves at 2,100 stores across the country, just as Canadian favorite coffee chain Tim Hortons announced it is testing Just Egg on its menu at select locations.
The product, made from mung bean protein, canola oil, onion puree and turmeric, imitates the taste and texture of real eggs. Tim Hortons joins other fast food chains that are satiating consumers’ cravings for non-animal proteins like plant-based burgers.
So these are “eggs” made from… what was that again? Mung bean protein. Boy howdy, that just makes you want to tie a bib around your neck, pick up a fork and dig in, doesn’t it? The mung bean (also known as Vigna Radiata) is an Asian legume that can apparently be modified by the mad scientists producing all of this garbage so it tastes something like eggs.
Why are they doing this? For your health? Don’t be fooled, kids. All you need to know is why they named the product JUST Egg. Their CEO is quoted as saying, “We believe a just food system starts with breakfast and our partnership with the Kroger family of stores, the largest grocery store chain in the United States, makes JUST Egg accessible to countless consumers in communities around the country,”
The “JUST” stands for “justice.” Raising and eating chickens is wrong in liberal circles and probably is causing global warming or something. (Wait… I thought that was the cow farts?) They want justice for the chickens and now they’re going to start selling fake eggs made from modified mung beans. Just lovely. (Pardon the pun.)
Three tablespoons of this Just Egg product is equivalent to one chicken egg and provides five grams of plant-based protein, according to the company. But what if I don’t want “plant-based protein?” What if I want real protein? And trust me, you’re never going to be able to make a deviled egg out of this stuff.
They’re targeting breakfast now, people. And you know what that means. Next, they’re going to be coming for the bacon. When there are no more cows, pigs or chickens and you’re living on twigs and leaves mixed in with these nightmare science experiment meals, don’t come back crying to me. I’ve been trying to warn you.
Last week my son and I tried some Tacos from Burgerking. Never again
Social Justice isn’t about justice.
Social Work isn’t about work.
Social Studies isn’t about studying.
On the plus side toilet paper companies likes fake food idea.
Increased sales ensue.
I eat eggs made from plants.....we feed left over veggies to our chickens....does that count?
If you want eggs, then git you some chickens.
It’s really that easy.
If there’s no chickens, then git you some ducks.
AOC probably doesn’t even know that people can git them their own egg makin’ animals.
Well, EGGPLANT.
Duh.
The “progs” are taking us back to the Stone Age. Twigs and grass clippings. Yummy.
I love the smell of bean farts in the morning...like napalm.
Next: getting rid of humans for farting climate toxicity or just because they are evil...the ones without the clipboards anyway.
Don’t these plant-based faux-foods require far more labor & raw resources to produce than the real thing?
So aren’t they far more negatively impactful on the environment?
It’s the irony that’s gonna kill us.
Years ago, there was a company in San Francisco that was working on a plant-based version of eggs. They had Andrew Zimmern on the show.
Visually, they looked like scrambled eggs. Maybe not quite as yellow as scrambled eggs typically appear. He tasted them and said they were getting close - but weren’t there yet.
Would I try them? Yeah, Maybe once or twice. But if cost is an issue and regular eggs are cheaper (and taste better), I’ll stick with eggs.
Yeah, heard an ad for this the other day. Now appearing at Kroger affiliated stores. Woo Hoo! No clucking way! Did your son try the unpossible burger too?
We have for years been warned about eating “highly processed” foods. Just how highly processed is fake eggs made of vegies!
And why do they try to make them taste like eggs. If I want eggs I will eat EGGS, not some fake immitation.
Same for beef.
If they can convince the public to spent big bucks on bottle water, they probably can get the public to believe this is healthier than real eggs.
Can you imagine how much processing and artificial stuff needs to be done to this crap? But they will sell it as healthier than eggs and MUCH KINDER TO THE CHICKENS.
Sunny side up or over easy (if on a sandwich). Either way, my egg gushes with warm yolk on that first bite. Pretty sure they can’t manufacture that. So, yeah, sorry... I’m out.
Why do they keep trying to make their veggies look like something they refuse to eat. I don’t make my meatloaf look like a carrot. (I do like carrots).
Stone Agers ate meat.
“Burger King” and “tacos” are words that just don’t go well together at all, no matter what’s in that shell. ;)
Me, I don’t have a problem with all the plant-based stuff. I like some of it and meat is sometimes an issue for me (don’t like “Impossible”, but love “Beyond”). But... Eggs? Really? That’s like the perfect food! This one I’ll pass one!
They *should* be working on making square eggs so they’re easily stackable (thank you, Carl Barks, for the best idea ever)!
I haven’t tried the Impossible Burger yet but let me know when they get around to the short ribs.
Pretty sure they can’t manufacture that.
Oh yeah? Read the fine print...Yolk sold separately
in individual packets, or buy the bulk size, Just Yolk.
Sorry, I’m just yolking.
