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?

Also, and this is a point I keep returning to more and more, if meat doesn't taste very good unless it's cooked properly and flavored with a bunch of plant-sourced ingredients, then maybe it's not such a choice ingredient in the first place.

you say that but then if you saw what these people do to the vegetables and the vegan dish they serve you'd see that things can get much much worse than under-seasoned meat ;_;

they'll spray buttery PAM (it's vegan since it's just butyric acid flavoring, and it's used because the only one spray oil Sysco sells has soy in it) on vegetables, toss a little bit of salt, and then roast them

I'll dress vegetables in like, actual oil not the spray on shit, garlic and onion powder, salt and pepper, a little thyme, roast them until properly browned and I'll have people ask what I did to them like it's some fuckin' arcane secret
