In Response to Plant Based Meat

[IronNoggin]

I miss the days when food could be food, plants could be plants, meat could be meat, and people could be honest.

Slow day on the island?

Don’t think that meat carrot will catch on. On the other hand, it looks like the veggie burgers imitating beef could fill a niche?
Went shopping for a “beyond meat” burger at Sobeys but passed when I saw the price was the same as real burgers. I do plan on trying one someday.

I like 99% of veggie burgers/soy burgers

But, call it that. A veggie burger.

“Meatless “? Why bother even saying that?

Agreed! Generally I prefer a veggie burger to a meat one, BUT I draw the line at steak and chicken breast!! Those can not be beat!!!

[stubblejumper01]

Cattle eat grass hay and grain. Doesn't that make beef plant based meat anyway?

Price and the fact that they are no better for you nutritionally. You could even argue they are worse with the horrendous sodium level in them. They have just about as much saturated fat also.

[Mr Flyguy]

Anyone who calls plant based burgers "meat" should have their stamen chopped off.

[urban rednek]

Vegans should consider the big picture.

[calgarychef]

Imagine how much proscessed crap is in a beyond meat burger?

[Moo Snukkle]

My pet peeve is that they colour it as a meat burger. Why don’t they make it purple? Imagine how colourful that burger would be. Cattle farmers dropped the ball here. Should not be the colour of beef. If it is , half the profit should go back to cattle farmers. Any mention of meat in the title ( beyond meat, meatless etc) , half the profits to cattle farmers. Not trying to start a war here, just my opinion. I am not a farmer either.

Agreed. I haven’t tried one yet and likely never will. Like mentioned earlier call it a veggie burger. Calling it beyond meat, like WTF is that?

To me using the word beyond means anything but meat. Lips eyeballs azzholes,sawdust.....it makes me gag just thinking about it.

See above post.

The short answer is LOTS!

That is the funny part. A straight up hamburger is far healthier that that overly processed veggie mulch.

The other funny thing is to grow veggies you need to remove all other plants from the field and remove any animal that would eat the crop.

To maximize yield you need to use pesticides and herbicides.

Last I looked in the foothills...cows are roaming around with all the plants and animals together.

All I see now is the Beyond Meat trademark. It's at A and W and now I see it at Timmies.

I'm scared to get one by mistake. With all that soy content, it might stunt my facial hair and make me change seats in the choir.

Nothing like witnessing a whole lot more cases of gynecomastia to help curb ones appetite....

That's a big word, I had to look it up. Never too old to learn.

Who am I trying to kid? These are likely on store shelves already.

Definitions aside, the non-meat burger at A&W is actually quite tasty. This from a meat-loving person (me).

Also only partly relevant, sort of toward the purple meat comment: heard a comedian say that everyone worries about red meat, when it's actually the blue-green meat meat you need to worry about!

Yeah, that 0% soy content is pretty scary.

My mistake as I have never seen this product in the local Safeway or for that matter care to as I prefer Alberta raised Beef.

So you’d agree then that your posts are basically an appeal to authority and not based on any actual knowledge of the product you critiqued and called the consumers of weak and easily led?

That's a very good post.
I will mention it at our July 1st BBQ
((REAL burgers).

[tri777]

All this crazy mental meatlessness..and just think, soon we are going to be driving 'Gasless' cars we plug in to charge.
All these socks of the sparkly people kind are hard to be mindfull of.

[guywiththemule]

Very interesting to learn what sheep ,goats and cows will eat !!

[jungleboy]

I ordered a A&W beyond meat sausage and egger a while back and it was pretty bad.The overpowering flavor was salt along with being drier than a popcorn fart.
