Talking about impossible and beyond meat, of course. I like their taste, so I’m not one of those burger fash who complains about not being able to taste the flesh wounds of their victims. Just need the skinny on how it compares in terms of it’s nutrient quality, health factors in terms of contaminants in production or as a result of (PFAS, lead), and the impact on the environment. I’m sure the production of fake borg is better than maintaining and slaughtering cows, but relative to other foods how much better is it?

those seem like pretty different vibes. Grains don't come off the stalk looking like bread, fun pasta shapes, or cinnamon toast crunch. there's a bunch of 100-ish year old dishes that use riced (instead of mashed) potatoes. how do you feel about those? if the low-carb fad cauliflower is different you could try to figure out why.

how would you feel about imitation human meat, as judged for accuracy by some of those amputee self-cannibals who make the news every 5-10 years when the stars align and someone interested in that has a motorcycle accident?
