Post Apocalyptic prophecies

Synthetic roast beef sandwich on rye, bacon, lettuce, tomato, mayo, a lick of mustard, dill pickle on the side,
toasted cut fries, salt, vinegar, Heinz ketchup .
Yeah, mmm mm good.
Great idea, now, let's try to fake it, then, sell it.
All you chefs, it's just chemistry, see.

It's the California-based "Impossible Foods" non-meat burgers that have the HEME. Makes all the difference!





GOT HEME?

"FAKE meat alternatives may be promoted as more “wholesome” than conventionally grown meat, but in a recent tweet a US scientist has drawn attention to the highly processed nature of two leading plant-based burger products by comparing their ingredients to those of pet food."


(Dr Mitloehner), recounted a story in which he had dinner a couple of years ago with Patrick Brown, the CEO of Impossible Foods, at an a National Academy of Sciences event. During the conversation, he said Mr Brown told him he had eaten dog food as a graduate student, explaining that it was not only made of wholesome ingredients, but was also inexpensive.

“I thought he was joking me, until I did little bit of research and compared his burger versus Beyond Burger versus dog kibbles and guess what? I would not be able to tell the difference.

Have they been doing a big marketing blitz? I feel like I've been hearing about them all over and I really thought it was something people were eating.

I don't think I've ever had one. I remember BK advertising it years ago when my grandmother had the TV on. She likes whoppers so I picked us up a couple on the way home. There was some internet challenge seeing if you could tell the difference. I couldn't tell the difference in price and it might have been more. I skipped it and grabbed the burgers.

I think I have had a bean burger or at least a bite of it. I don't think they are the same though. Really don't know anything about it.

I find it interesting how much effort has been put into making veggies taste like meat. No one has made any effort to make steak taste like kale. That should be telling enough.

I wouldn't know. I've never eaten kale. or arugula.

Let me tell you something. Fake meat is a gateway drug to real meat.

I was also curious about fake meat. It did cost more, by a good bit. I never bought one either.

I thought bacon was the gateway meat. It's why vegans spurn it above all else.
one bacon bite and they're hooked like crack cocaine.
