Welcome to Delicious or Distressing, where we rate recent food memes, videos, and other entertainment news. Last week we discussed Trader Joe’s hot new mini totes.

Lauren Sánchez, vice chair of the Bezos Earth Fund and Jeff Bezos’ fiancée, announced Tuesday that the fund would commit $60 million to establish Bezos Centers for Sustainable Protein. These centers plan to research and create new fake meats that ostensibly taste better, are better for us, and cost less to manufacture. The commitment is part of the $10 billion pledge that Bezos made in 2020 through the Bezos Earth Fund to fight climate change over the next decade.

Eventually they’ll just replace meat with it and hope people don’t notice the difference.

“create new fake meats that ostensibly taste better,”

Sometimes there are just no words.

Where's the market for this stuff?

Vegetarians and vegans are already conditions to eat diets void of any meat taste or meat texture.

Meat eaters want nothing to do with fake meat. They eat the real thing.

People who are health conscious aren't touching this stuff either. It's overprocessed frankenfood full of all kinds of weird flavoring and binding agents.

I remember early in 2020 when pandemic hoarding got started, the toilet paper and meat cases were bare.

However, guess which, erm, food couldn’t be given away??!?

With his dough, he can buy plenty of it, and he’s welcome to it for his own consumption.
