I just saw it on the other thread! Holy smokes! That’s The Big Chicken! My tagline will be famous now!

At the intersection of Cobb Parkway and Roswell Street inside Radar Circle, Marietta, GA.

why pay exorbitant prices for fake chicken?....even their real chicken is over priced and btw, not as good as when they used the politically incorrect frying oil.

It will start as a “blend” and then slowly exchange ratio and percentage. Over time no one would even notice the difference. Historically it has already happened with hamburger meat. And they got away with it for a long time before anyone found out. This is how the “100% Beef” legal statement appeared in the market.

"Could not tell from meat whopper. 100% same taste."

But why, if you are vegetarian, do you want to spend all your time finding food that tastes like meat?

Looks like a former Burger Chef across the street, by the look of the sign.

“Plant based chicken” is typical left wing double speak. Plant based chicken substitute is more accurate, but accuracy is not the left’s strong point.

“If they really can replicate real meat taste etc. from plants, I am all for it. …”

Fair enough. But it’s more than just the taste. There are nutritional issues as well. Animal based protein is a nutritionally complete protein (contains all 7 essential amino acids). Plant based proteins tend to be deficient in one or more amino acid and therefore require multiple sources to provide necessary protein intake.

“The carcinogens in red meat stuff is overblown. There’s a lot of bad science in nutrition, and some if it designed to push people away from meat. Often for unrelated reasons....”

Indeed, Cholesterol for example. What most people will never know is that Cholesterol in a reactive substance rather than a causative one.

The body produces Cholesterol in a protective function. High Cholesterol is often indicative of an underlying condition, inflammation being one.

Cholesterol does not “cause” heart disease but is rather an indication of the body’s diseased condition and it’s natural response to it.

[[How many millions of years have humans been burning/charring & eating meat since the discovery of fire?]]

About as many years as intestinal, colon and rectal cancer have been around- The medical literature does show an increased risk in those areas from carcinogens

Soy: that makes it a NON food for me, I’m Hypothyroid and SOY, Grapefruit, Broccoli family foods are NO’s as they interfere with my Medication.

I’m tired of reading labels, that you need a magnifying glass for. Allergy test say Sea food, Red Food Dye along with the usual summer seasonal allergies.

I remember the Jack in the Box fiasco concerning Kangaroo meat. And honestly, Kangaroo meat is pretty good and I would not have had a problem with it. lol
