Do Beyond meat (tm) and other types of derivates that Fast Food chains buy wholesale cost THEM more or less than equivalent meat? - Curiou

Beyond Meat is vile. I saw the nutrition and ingredient list for the "beyond sausage" at Pizza Hut and it was a horror show. An entire paragraph of chemicals, with primary ingredients being salt and corn syrup. Pound for pound it also had more calories, sugar and sodium then actual Italian sausage.

Vegans are fucked in the head if they think their plant based industrial goo is more healthy then the actual thing.

It's funny because vegans always talk about "real food" and yet their franken-veggie slop has more additives than factory farmed meat from third world countries.

Yeah if you just completely remove its natural taste and texture, it's delicious.

I just throw some Himalayan pink salt on it and eat it as is, along with a home made (blended) vegetable juice. And this is like once a week, chicken and beef the rest of the week.

I want to try it some time out of curiosity but it's always a few dollars more expensive than the real thing. I'm cheap and I doubt that it's as good or even better than the real thing so that's part of it too. I've had a couple of fast food veggie burgers (the last time being maybe 2 years ago) and they've been okay, but they were nowhere near the real thing.

There’s a lot of shit you can do with tofu for example, if you didn’t try to force it to be a straight replacement for meat. It really, really likes chilis for example.

It takes on the flavor of nearly anything it's with. It's a good way of adding protein to something without changing its flavor. I generally have it in dishes with meat in them already, though.

Speculation: Bio-engineered veggie slop is cheap to produce and very trendy right now with certain demographics. There's a reason even the fed is on this bandwagon and is telling you to eat lentils instead of meat.

Lentils are great though, they aren't this slop. And they're super cheap.

But no, thanks fed, I'll stick to eating meat and other things too.

Many years ago, a vegetarian/occasional-vegan classmate (and all-round git) announced he used to be obese and that it's really easy to get fat on a non-meat diet (the key ingredient was ungodly amounts of french fries). I'm getting a bit tin-foil hat right now, but I wonder if these not-much-better meat substitutes are also purposely unhealthy to keep the status quo? Can't have the population getting too healthy w/o pissing off pharmaceutical companies, nyuk nyuk!

More seriously, it's probably we're so used to being unhealthy that we don't care. Somebody is benefiting from this (financially, politically, or spiritually) while we get nothing (or used to decreasing quality slop, which isn't out of the question).

meat substitutes like this are made for meat eating dabblers as well as trenders, or for them to have something they understand how to cook for a veg guest / have something the veg person can order at the same restaurant.

yeah, they're overprocessed oversalted expensive junk; so-to are the premade beef burgers and other premade/processed meat items you can buy at a supermarket.

actual vegans are eating beans/legumes, nuts/seeds & foods made from them alongside veggies. eating beyond burgers daily is a good way to be wasteful, go broke & destroy your health

I've eaten Beyond Meat before. It's only good if you need to take a big shit and haven't for days. Veggie burgers are better because they don't do this. It's a misery.

Plus potato chips and snacks like that. One contributing factor, in my opinion, is that no one can cook or have an interest in learning. So they eat almost nothing but bland vegan convenience foods that never feels like a real meal when it comes to taste and texture, then they fill up with chips and crap in between meals.

You would think that vegans would eat more salad.
