'Bleeding' vegan burger is an 'existential threat' to beef' whines NZ MP

[FabricLiveBaby!]

Have you tried Temple of Seitan? I went to the one in Camden yesterday before the Trump protest and got a chicken and bacon burger. It was so good.

Nah. I don't live in the UK anymore. I'd give it a go tho!

Impossible Burger 2.0 is apparently a thing of wonder for vegans who crave beef

Impossible Burger 2.0 tastes like beef. Really

That first photo.

That first photo.

It looks every bit as unappealing as the hideous meaty burger photos that get posted up all over social media.

I'm glad my Facebook contacts aren't so much into undifferentiated festering pink goo.

Rather magnificent example of misuse of statistics in that article.

Data from Nielsen and the Plant-Based Foods Association shows that sales of plant-based meats rose 24 percent in 2018, whereas sales of animal meats only grew by 2 percent in the same period.

However you spin in, veganism and vegetarianism is massively on the rise though.

Yes, you prefer dead animal pink goo, probably raised on fuck knows what weird chemicals/hormones etc.

Had my first ever bleeding burger on Saturday. I'd asked for no cheese, yet it came covered in cheese, so sent it back and they rushed out a non-cheese covered one, which was raw in the middle and bleeding. It was fine, but not sure it's that clever to eat that kind of shit too often.

Still probably a shitload healthier that some of the meaty burgers you can buy!

Where did you buy it, by the way?

Accusing people of having mental health issues? Stay classy.

I wouldn't mind trying one. If it really has the taste and texture of meat, great.

But why do vegans want to eat food that tastes like meat?

1) Lots of vegans like meat
2) They're also partly aimed at people trying to cut down their meat consumption

Has anyone got any evidence that they do?

Dunno, it was meaty as fuck, cos it was made from cows, just not cooked properly. I'd give one of the vegan ones a go though.

I tried an Impossible Burrito when I was living near a Cali-Mex in the summer and it was a big disappointment - the taste and texture of the Impossible stuff was just odd and their regular veggie burrito was a lot better, going to give the 2.0 version a chance though.

You're the one that seems to be posting bizarre drivel about meds and making jokes about mental health. Maybe you should step away from the computer for a bit because I'm not sure you're going to cover yourself in glory if you continue on this trajectory.

Is this the one that you can get in Tesco's?

 

[Spymaster]

Has anyone got any evidence that they do?

Isn't it evidenced by the fact that companies are committing time and money to developing products like these?

Seriously, wind down the paranoia a little, eh?

Some producers of plant-based meat (vegan in composition) use an accelerated heme synthesis process involving soy root leghemoglobin and yeast, adding the resulting heme to items such as vegan burger patties to give them the taste associated with meat

I've no particular problem with it, but it does appear to involve weird chemicals...

Oh sorry, I thought you meant it was a vegan one. I've been trying the Iceland range of vegan foods. The 'No Bull' sausages are bloody awful although the burgers aren't bad.

I thought those burgers are really pretty good. They work on a BBQ too (the packet says just to bake or fry them, but rubbed with a little olive oil they come out great).

Ah, so you're adding 'paranoia' to the comment about me supposedly needing meds?

Something wrong with needing meds?
