Your plant-based meat could soon have animal fat

Have they no idea how horrible this is? "Mmmm, cheap oils!"

My son will not eat fake meat.
Even if its raviolis stuffed with fake meat. 😂 |
Never mind them claiming that plant based meat and lab grown pork fat is supposedly better environmentally...
THEY have been telling us for decades that animal fat is the deadliest part of meat!!! Death on a plate!!! THEY have been trying to convince us that we should only be eating LEAN protein! Get rid of all the animal fat!!!! So they make fake meat... and then add that deadly animal fat to it. The irony of this is almost beyond belief. |
My food is already plant-based. My food eats plants. It does not get any more plant-based than that.
|
I read that vegetarians are 4% of the US population and vegans are 1%.
It's hard to make a profit catering to such a small percentage of the population. Definitely a niche market. |

Not if they convince the omnivorous populace that plant-based is healthier, and they choose more of such foods. Which are addictive. There's much too much plant-based UPF out there, all designed to hijack a person's appetite center. Not going to happen. I tuned out of a recent autoimmune video when the person encouraged the ideal anti-inflammatory diet as plant-based. When that's a 180 from the truth about carnivore and autoimmune. I"ve studied it for 15 years. I've starting to see more papers which recognizes the gut health link with autoimmune. This might connect with how plants can create body stress. Research now regards these reactions as positive, but that's not how it worked in my body. Autoimmune is also about disordered hormones, but plant sources are generally not good fats. Animal fat is how our body makes hormones. That and pregnenolone kept me from losing it until I could get bioidentical estrogen OTC. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29382608/ |

Which is exactly what they are trying to do. “Plant Based” sounds much less like a cult term than vegetarian. They will even tell you that it's kinder to global warming, when the fertilizer industry emits thousands of times more methane than all the cow burps and farts combined. But when doing the numbers, they ignore the manufacture of the fertilizer. And most people aren't inquisitive enough to realize they are being fed lies. And once they swallow the lie, hook, line, and sinker, there is nothing anyone else can do to change their minds. "My mind's made up, don't confuse me with the facts." |

Isn't that one of the brand names "Beyond" ... |

Industrial food manufacturers have been using broths and animal fat in plant based products for years, such as the seasoning in cup noodles, ramen flavor packets, flavored rice mixes, and stove top stuffing mixes. But those were always labeled as chicken flavored, beef flavored, turkey flavored. They admit that by adding in meat byproducts they're no longer looking for vegetarian buyers. And no wonder, considering just how small of a niche vegetarians and vegans are. But it does make me wonder how they're going to label these foods so that the vegetarians and vegans don't have a complete hissy-fit about formerly vegan food being adulterated with animal products. |
I wonder how many non-vegetarians are really going to want to buy a plant-based/meat infused/imitation hamburger?
That's not a business I would have invested any money in. We have some vegan (thankfully non-preachy) friends. When they started, they bought Boca Burgers, and then decided — why eat something that tastes like the food they are trying to avoid? We buy 100% grass-fed/grass-finished ground beef and make our own hamburgers. It doesn't get any better than that. |

I don't think they're going to. Then again, there will probably be some who feel guilty that they just can't go 100% vegetarian, and will buy the meat byproduct infused fake meat, rationalizing that at least they're only eating meat byproducts on the days when they have the meat byproduct infused fake meat. I wonder if they'll realize that the pet food manufacturers have been using meat byproducts in dog and cat food for ages, so they'll be paying premium prices so that they can eat the equivalent of pet food. |

Yes - Beyond Meat. :lol: Then there's also Impossible Burger. Both names say a lot about what the product ISN'T - and that is that neither is what they want you to think of it as being just like: meat/ground beef. They also don't want you to fully realize that it doesn't in any way resemble the original source of the ingredients used to make it, making them some of the most ridiculously ultra processed foods in the world. It's comparable to the depression era Ritz mock apple pie recipe. It tastes sort of like apple pie, has a texture similar to apple pie, and looks sort of like apple pie, but it's clearly NOT apple pie. |
These are frankenfoods. I think it's good to avoid them.

Agreed. I know some people don't like the taste, but I love it. That's the fundamental disconnect vegans struggle with, because we have genetic imperatives that stretch back to far longer hunter/gather than farming. They operate on essentially the opposite of the way our species has evolved. Against anthropologic recognition that health suffered when we started civilization. Grains made it possible, but there are side effects with their use. Vegans don't like hearing that. We became farmers and our health suffered? UNpossible. And vegans started the dietician's school, licensing structure, and influence to fight against science. Not be its friend. Also, I suspect a Wal-Martian model with this Beyond meat. Drive real meat out of "health" because it's red meat and will kill you, then degrade the product without lowering the cost. Tissues are no longer filling the box, for instance. Ziplocked bags and deli containers won't fasten. I used to joke that corporations would jockey for us to be taxed, so they had enough money to satisfy Wall Street. Now, I think it is their goal. |
