I have always found the flavor of jackfruit unpleasant.

Now lychees though, I could eat barrels of those.

Not for the last 561 days. Every aspect of my life has been greatly improved as a result.

Really ? that’s nothing! I’ve eaten nothing but plants for at least 3650 days now (over 10 years). And I also contend that every aspect of my life has been greatly improved. Now who is right?

We eat meat because of the texture and the spices.

Nope. We eat meat because it contains nutrients we can not get any other way. Not even from Jackfruit.

Jack fruit tree looks similar to a fig tree.

I can assure you with 100% certainty that that is not true

It needs a new name to catch on in the states.

I lived in Indonesia for a while. The parks had some durian trees. The signs on the trees basically said “Be careful! If a durian falls on you, it will kill you.”

Fine, eat jackfruit. But don’t try to convince me it is a meat “substitute”.

I like a large variety of foods. I make my own kimchee for example. But I don’t eat anything to be a substitute for meat. Meat is meat, fruit is fruit, veggies are veggies, carbs are carbs.

If meat is so repulsive, why work so hard at trying to make veggies appear to be meat? (unsuccessfully, I add).

The only meat substitute is more meat.

Jackfruit is delicious. However, it’s not meet and never will be. The seeds can be used in soups and it takes like beans. They aren’t meat either.

Both of us are!

Diet is always specific to the individual.

And I can assure you that it is.

Not eating animal products tends to cause your brain function to deteriorate and your health over time to fail.

Not to mention that as a vegan you eat over processed and unnatural foods.

Sad really.

False! No scientific evidence for that whatsoever. Plus I have over 10 years of anecdotal evidence myself. Nothing you have said is true for me at all.

Not to mention that as a vegan you eat over processed and unnatural foods.

Again, not true. Where are you getting your information from? I eat exactly 0 processed and unnatural foods. I eat only 100% whole food plants. Not even oils and juices because they do not exist naturally they need to be extracted from the whole so I don’t touch them. And you act as if Omnivores eat clean all the time. What the hell you call a big Mac? What the hell you call Chick-fil-A? Natural and unprocessed? Sad really.

That seems to violate the “eat local” mantra of the hip and trendy places.

What’s the carbon footprint to get this to the US?

It is Disgusting. Smells like dirty locker socks from the old PE days in junior high.

Me too! I have been on that “Carnivore” diet for over a year and a half - and had great results right away! Acid Re-flux = gone! Bloated feeling after eating = gone! Sleep better. Energy better. Weight down 40lbs and no food cravings.

Some changes were subtle and I didn’t notice them right away. After a year I noticed my skin condition and color were much improved too. Havent used my sun tan lamp in almost 2 winters since starting the carnivore diet. Fingernails look great. Used to get cracked/broken nails and dried skin tags along where the nail edge and skin meet. Perfect looking.
Endurance and muscle strength slowly improving. Leg muscle cramps almost a thing of the past. No longer need a cane for getting around! All this and taking NO prescription medications. (occasional headache = occasional aspirin)

I'm really not a “comfort food” type guy. Never have been. Sorry. Grew up in a restaurant family. My step dad and two of my half brothers were all accomplished, working chefs. In fact, comfort food to me means lazily processed, but then I'm Informed by my upbringing. Sorry you find my informed comment inappropriate, but it's not your business what others here comment on, now is it? I've had British food, plenty of it, and from my experience that's my take on it.

You're really the snarky one here, not me.

“If I come across one I’ll give it a try.”

I came across one in the Meijers store. It was $36. I did not give it a try.

It was there for quite a while.
