[[Now that I know what it is, I will have to try one some day. ]]
Read of several people who tried it and really liked it-
Whole food-Plant based diet people like me view this product as Crap, just like all processed foods. Plus anything that bleeds is disgusting. See Megyn Kelly.
The plan is to introduce enough soy products to chemically castrate every male on the planet.
This may backfire on them as they get more female hormones in their system.
Ive never understood this. If one is a vegetarian, why do you want to eat something that reminds you of actual meat? Wouldn't this be like making a soy burger that tastes just like roasted humans? Who wants that?
“Plus anything that bleeds is disgusting.”
The heme protein that “bleeds” is in nearly everything we eat.
If you read up on wheat, you’ll find out that today’s strains, which were hybridized extensively are the cause of the obesity and diabetes outbreaks world-wide. The hybridization also increased yields something like 5-fold, which is why starvation is a thing of the past (except when food is intentionally withheld from people for political reasons).
So we now have way more wheat, but our bodies get confused due to the change in its composition (we never had a chance to adapt to it)...so we’re less healthy, much less healthy. And while hybridization is not GMO...it might as well be, based on what our bodies are wired for.
...so no thanks, I’ll stick with fat-loaded real beef.
Is there a heme meme yet?
If you don’t know dairies across this country are already going out of business, downsizing, consolidating and their milk cows being slaughtered. Dean’s Food has gone bankrupt and Mayfield Dairy here in Georgia in Braselton is shutting down.
This is because consumers are shifting their consumption habits from milk to other products like soy milk, almond milk, cashew milk.
Do you only eat organic corn, and only non-GMO foods?
Most of the corn you buy and the products that you consume that have corn as an ingredient (which is considerable) use GMO corn.
You want to understand what you are eating today and how that food is being produced and delivered to your supermarket? Watch the docu-film FOOD INC and learn about factory farming and the impact it has had on society and human health.
You may be more discerning in the future on your own personal consumption habits.
Why eat a veggie burger if it looks and tastes exactly like ground beef? Why not buy a real hamburger, which probably costs less anyway?

As a whole food, plant based dieter, not so much.
I don’t think it’s interesting. I think it’s hypocritical and ignorant virtue signaling. Animals die no matter your diet. Thousands of insects, birds, rodents and reptiles lose their habitat every time an acre of land is harvested and many are killed either by loss of shelter or farm equipment. They just aren’t as tasty as the ones raised for consumption.
I always thought that if you gave up meat, you needed a natural substitute (ie using chick pea water for egg whites in baking). Reconstituting tofu and lentils with chemical additives to get the flavor of something you miss is crazy not healthy.
It’s not just the matter of whether GMO is safe. Have you considered how your meat and fish is being produced and delivered to you?
- (un)sanitary conditions where animals are raised for slaughter
- use of hormones and antibiotics in the production of meat/poultry
Seeing how chickens are being raised in a closed shed should be reason enough to not eat anything but free range chickens.
Did you know the FDA allows them to process/sell chickens to consumers that were stricken with cancer, as long as the cancerous part of the chicken is removed.
How about fish farms?
What impact has the fast food industry had on our supply chain of food? Today meat processing and supply is consolidated to a very few majors like ConAgra, etc.
When you go into a supermarket and you see all the variety of brands available on the shelves, just remember the majority of the products you see are owned by 5 major corporations.
GRAS (generally recognized as safe)? A new one on me.
It’s like Global warming, generally recognized as scam.
