I still don’t understand the idea of making meatless products look like meat.
IMHO if somebody was vegan the sight of a meat looking product would appall them just as much as eating it would!
There’s plenty of dishes out there that are made from vegetation that look very appealing. Does it have to look like a Turkey, a hotdog, or a hamburger patty... I mean come’on man!

As I understand it the dirty little secret about fake meat is that is no more healthy for you than real meat....so why bother?Yes, and highly processed and full of "substances" and sodium.
To: markomalley
I agree. It was too much like meat to appeal to vegetarians, and not enough like meat to satisfy carnivores.

Maybe consumers were anticipating cheap-as-a-can-of-Wmart-beans prices. It was marketed as... and went boutique as expected.
The humble can of beans (No salt) may be healthier anyway.

Exactly. . . like the dirty little secret that EV need a coal or gas plant to create the “green power” to get them around.
I had coffee this morning with a Brit friend. She is very sensible. Trying to get along in a world full of, take your pick, fake news; outright lies or propaganda she enjoyed me relating a BBC International article from yesterday.
Seems the ‘reportateete'was fishing for the ‘right answers’ from the person brought on to discuss the virtues of vegan food.
Everything was going just swell until this expert (correctly) pointed out that to create deeply processed vegan they removed all the flavor and much of the fiber. How to make it palatable? Well just add lots of sugar, salt and fat. (I think the expert called this the "unholy trinity" and I agreed) Of course the fat was the wrong kind. The salt was too much and we all know about too much sugar.
Needless to say, the reporterette was a bit put off. Sorry for the rant, but, your post hit a nerve!

Don’t be silly.
Of course they’re not made of grass and leaves; I never said that.
But they do convert matter that has no nutritional value to humans to matter that does have nutritional value to humans.

Why is it vegans want to taste meat? Ingredient list - water, pea protein, expeller-pressed canola oil, refined coconut oil, rice protein, natural flavors, cocoa butter, mung bean protein, methylcellulose, potato starch, apple extract, pomegranate extract, salt, potassium chloride, vinegar, lemon juice concentrate, sunflower lecithin, beet juice extract.
Beyond Ground Beef $7.20 lb vs. $3.08 for the real thing.

Impossible is going to end up owning the space. Beyond's obsession with coconut oil is ruinous two-fold: shortens shelf-life (and when coconut oil goes bad, it goes rancid) and it clings to the palate so that after 2 bites, it's just more coconut. The new Impossible Burgers at Burger King and White Castle are not half bad, particuarly given the former lands on the same rotating flame grill as the beef. The local White Castle segregates their Impossibles on their grills, and if you ask them to cook it with the sliders, no go.

Government Experts say it's good for you. Politicians and celebrities with nothing at stake except a hefty under-the-table payoff say it's good for you. People aren't buying it? Well, the Biden administration has an answer for that: MAKE them! Take their jobs away, refuse them the right to travel, don't let them appear in public, shun them in private.
OK, I'm kidding. Governments would never do a thing like that, would they? Would they?
To: Brookhaven
They’re blaming the covid boogey man because no one wants fake meat. lol
