Like, meat from vegans?
Those are the same people that eat fast food. Who is really eating ultra processed foods?
Tons of people? I don’t see why not give them an easy entry point to go vegan. They’re already used to hyper palatable foods, providing an alternative that’s hyper palatable as well is better than not.
Phrased what I said earlier really horribly. I’m not against vegan meat at all I think they are a really good idea!
Picked up sonme impossible dogs, because hot dogs have a low ceiling. It was good enough for me!
I usually go meatless as opposed to meat substitutes, but it was fun to try these out.
I like the impossible dogs. My only issue with them is that they don’t hold together well. The taste and texture are otherwise on point. I’ve tried other vegan hot dogs and they were absolutely vile.
I also really like the impossible chicken nuggets, though I think fake chicken is something that’s already been done well before.
Every day I’m eating a cup full of seed oil slop. I’m all for these alternate products like bean or lentil patties but I’d rather make them myself and save money and use olive oil only.
I always wondered why it made me feel ill and it’s because it’s overused. I actively cut down how much I eat because it’s gross anyway. Try eating a mars bar or similar when it’s 10% oil. Revolting!
IMHO that’s an issue of eating too much fat in general, not seed oil in particular.
Nah I don’t eat much fat I’m pretty thin but as soon as I eat a kit kat that’s filled with oil and sugar I instantly feel ill.
What makes so confident that it’s caused by unhealthy seed oils? There are numerous other ingredients that may cause that, you might have an intolerance/allergy etc. Geneally speaking, olive oil is not healthier than canola. And seed oils are not unhealthy. Especially not if you compare them to animal-based fats.
People have used olive oil for thousands of years, while other people cooked food in water with simple sauces or with clarified butter. There’s no reason for this seed oil crap, it’s just another filler ingredient that causes inferior taste.
I love the vegan croquettes I buy at the supermarket, even though they might be ultra-processed and I’m not vegan.
I’m not afraid of it, just mostly had bad experiences with it.
Fr. I worked at whole foods. I tried it all. Shit is not good.
I’ve heard a few times already that they’re terrible in the US and pretty good in the EU, so that might be why you’re seeing such a discrepancy…
Could be, I remember a guy working the pizza area messed up and put the beyond chicken on the bbq chicken pizza back when beyond meat was a brand new thing. I had to return it. I didn’t know it was beyond chicken, but I thought it had gone bad or something because it was so gross. We also had a seitan vendor come in and try to sell wheat meat… Gross. A number of sausages, hot dogs, etc. gross. I am a meat eater, but I have an open mind and will try anything. I personally believe if you want to go vegetarian or vegan, you can just do that. No need to eat ultra processed food that looks kinda like meat and tastes horrible. I will say, one of the fake chorizos was somewhat tolerable.
