June 18, 20196 yr The latest plant-based faux meat is upon us. Frankly, I have a lot more hope for the lab-grown flesh concept, but my favorite local burger joint (Grub Burger Bar) just sent me a promotional for the stuff. Has anyone partaken yet? And more to the point, does it look real enough that I can tell my vegetarian daughter that's what I'm eating, even though I actually ordered from the side of the menu that moos?

June 18, 20196 yr We have a fast-food mex joint out here, "Del Taco". They have "Beyond Tacos". I haven't tried one yet, but I intend to do so soon.
June 18, 20196 yr It's a definite short. They'll catch on for ten minutes then detonate. Marketing machine.
June 18, 20196 yr We have a fast-food mex joint out here, "Del Taco". They have "Beyond Tacos". I haven't tried one yet, but I intend to do so soon. But why? Especially for an extra two bucks or whatever.

June 18, 20196 yr Worried about the animals, so heres a substitute that isnt the real thing but still a reminder of the actual slaughter of animals.
June 18, 20196 yr I'm open to trying some form of these. If it can approximate the taste and texture of real meat, then why not. Meat at most fast food joints tastes like shit to begin with.

June 18, 20196 yr I gave the inventor's mom beyond meat. Our eyes are two inches apart, not out where our sideburns are.

The answer to not eating meat in your fast food, IS TO NOT EAT FAST FOOD! That's even healthier than eating fake-meat-fast-food, right? P.P.S. Also, there's always JITB tacos; no meat there.
June 18, 20196 yr Look at the ingredients, fuck that shit. But I wish I would have invested, that stock is insane.
June 18, 20196 yr My country club serves fried calf nuts and Pearl in a can. I might need to revisit my life choices......

June 18, 20196 yr If meat is so terrible, why do people spend so much effort trying to make things taste like it? Edited June 18, 20196 yr by kevwun
June 18, 20196 yr While i get why this might appeal to vegetarians , tree huggers, and PETA members it 's not that much healthier. Beyond burger wins on cholesterol but loses on sodium. Your Burgers By the Numbers The Beyond Burger (4-oz. patty) Calories: 290 Total fat (g): 22 Saturated fat (g): 5 Cholesterol (mg): 0 Sodium (mg): 450 Protein (g): 20 Iron (Daily Value %): 25% 85-percent lean beef (4-oz. patty, based on USDA National Nutrient Database) Calories: 283 Total fat (g): 17.5 Saturated fat (g): 6.7 Cholesterol (mg): 100 Sodium (mg): 82

June 18, 20196 yr Wife doesn't eat beef. The Impossible Burger is probably the best non meat burger substitute out there. I've had bites and it's really good and as close to a real burger as you'll get.

June 18, 20196 yr Even if you don't care about animal wellbeing, adopting at least a partially plant-based diet can have a positive greenhouse gas impact. And now I'll see myself out.

Vegans with high blood pressure for the win!
June 18, 20196 yr Look at the ingredients, fuck that shit. But I wish I would have invested, that stock is insane. Yeah, it’s not meat but it’s not remotely healthy. It has more saturated fat than lean beef.
June 19, 20196 yr I’ve had the Impossible Burger and it tasted like your average salty but relatively flavorless fast food burger. It tasted like bun and condiments.
June 19, 20196 yr Wife (no pics) brought some home from Whole Foods tonight. Not bad, but nothing I'd be excited to try again, especially after seeing the amount of sodium. Thanks...

But it doesn't change the fact that pea protein powder and liquid smoke is no substitute for ground sirloin.

June 19, 20196 yr I totally get the people that go vegetarian or vegan for health reasons. I laugh at the ones that do it for some concern for animal suffering. How many animals through the ages do you think had to die to fertilize the soil, and how many animals were killed or lost their habitat to clear land for crops?
