Why can't they just introduce this as new ingredient? Why do they need to mimic beef?

>>12962428
so its less of a shock when they remove the meat from the meat option

>>12961990
My girlfriend is a vegetarian so I've tried all of these fake meat options. They're all fucking garbage. Even the fanciest, most expensive meat substitutes taste like complete and utter crap compared to the cheapest, unknown-origin meat from animals fed up on garbage and growth hormones.

when they add the bug topping

Based Greta having a positive impact.

>>12962524
who?

>>12962487
That’s just not true. Impossible burger etc tastes just fine. It’s not amazing, but it’s way better than frozen Salisbury steak from the dollar store or something.

> Take a cow
> Feed it grass and other plants.
> Butcher cow
> Wala
> Plant-based beef.

Beef's basically just refined grass when you think about it.

>>12962536
Lol the impossible burger only tastes fine when compared to the utter garbage burger king has been selling for years which is chocked full of fillers and liquid smoke already. Fuck me your tongue is broken if you can even stomach eating at these places.

>>12962545
>B-but cows fart greenhouse gasses

They do but so does machines which are used to process soy and peas. I think Soy does more harm to earth through leeching nutrition and deforestation than cow. You're right bro. Cow is truly vegetarian. Besides, Cow is also calorie and nutrient dense.

>>12962546
Sounds like you've never tried any and you're just lying on the internet. Who would do such a thing?

>>12962428
that made me have a really interesting thought
would it be possible to invent a "new" meat that we've never tasted before but still recognize as meat? it's like trying to imagine inventing a new color

>>12962837
Idk what you are saying, mate.
Humans have tried meat of almost every land animal and some water animal. How can you invent new meat? Invent some new animal or bring back mammoth?

>>12962428
How does this affect you?

>>12961990
I'm all for this. Soyboys can have their imitation protein while the cost of meat goes down due to demand so I can enjoy cheaper meat.

>Year of the villain in DC comics right now
>Year of the vegan going on with the plant based "meat"
Coincidence?

>>12962546
>>12962824
We're talking about a company who was buying horsemeat for years and lying about it...

>>12963088
Proof?

>>12963028
It hurts my feefees that vegans are ethically superior to me

>>12962573

90% of cows are fed soy, you imbecile

This nigger >>12963159 is not this >>12962428

Vecunts are trying to replace meat which is not possible 100%. In Indian McDonalds https://www.mcdelivery.co.in/order/burgers-wraps/659/5306 the vegetarian patties are not trying to pretend to be meat, the veg patties are good on its own.

>>12963331
beyond meat is not simply veggie burgers it is trying to replace meat. it's like you don't understand replacement.

>>12963433
>>12963331

No cunt is trying to replace meat, where the fuck are you getting this from?

>>12963446
Eating bugs, plant based beef, and other vecunt options and as this anon say >>12962465

>>12963487

Dude, I'm literally eating a vegeburger as I type this.
I am not trying to replace anything, I would just wish for an additional option to be available to me, that's it, nothing more.

>>12963504
I am vegetarian, additional option is good but instead naming it 'beyond beef', 'vegan burger' or calling it 'plant based beef' give it a name of its own. Beyond meat is peas with beetroot color on it, instead of calling it meat and applying color, just call it and advertise it as a thing of its own.
I gave you indian McDonald example, they don't call their burger 'veg chicken burger', instead 'paneer burger'.

>>12963504
I am going to sleep anon, enjoy your meal.

>>12962428
Because this makes them more money.

Normies don't know the names of the standard textured vegan proteins like Seitan, TVP and mock duck (bad name too, but that has a long tradition now). It won't tell them what to expect.

>small supply
>empty
>OMG NOBODY WANTS MEAT ANYMORE

sasuga Apple style propaganda

>>12963331
India has a long culture of vegetarian food. In the west we are used to meat so the vegetarian/vegan food often try to mimic meat, as we dont know any other way to make it

My roomate went Vegan recently, now the fridge is over crowded with nonsense and he can’t afford gas so he can drive to school. His diet is mostly vegan nachos and vegan cookies. I think he’s getting fatter

>>12963665
Yes, they are deliberately understocking and then expanding off this minimal success because reasons

Looks like vegans win again, thanks anon

I just wish they’d start offering a nondairy cheese in the US like they supposedly do elsewhere desu

>>12962536
>it’s way better than something I’ve never eaten

>>12963504
a good black bean burger is really tasty. I tried impossible whopper and it tasted gross

>>12964678
what the fuck is in the fridge?

>>12964678
Never heard of junk food vegans? I thought that was one of the main arguments against veganism being unhealthy, that most of them are retards to try to sustain themselves on the meme replacement diets that are essentially junk food.

>>12961990
Is it impossible or not? Only impossible is good. I'm fucking pissed they are doing another SLOW ROLLOUT in grocery stores. It's been over a year already since they said they'd sell it in grocery stores. Why is this company so slow at everything?

>>12961990
It’s crazy how people were rushing to invest in this company before they were a meme. There sure are some smart people at the top who know how trends are going to go down.

>>12965204
>vegan dies doing something stupid to prove a point
>normal people die just doing something stupid.

So vegans are just like regular people except more egotistical

>>12964678
Show us the photo ofbte fridge

Just kill everyone in africa, middle east, India, china, and latin America.

Step up and get a lethal injection of heroin for the environment.

This is so true, even the French fries in your usa McDonald have natural beef flavour.

>>12961990
Veganism = severe mental illness

Think of all the vegans you know. Do they seem normal and mentally well to you

>>12965923
McDonald's uses imitation beef flavor in the fry oil now.

>>12965639
I know legit fatties who are vegan. They eat carbs all fucking day to compensate for their meat cravings. Pathetic

>>12963159
It hurts me profoundly to see vegans starving themselves to death.

>>12963199
A cricket is demonstrably more intelligent than a human vegan. Look in the mirror if you want to see an imbecile.

Eating plants is just as immoral as eating animals. As someone who really loves plants and nature, faggot herbivores need to make some bugman lab created pellets so they can fuck off. they're ruining the environment.

>>12961990
>plan-based beef
This should refer to cows raised on plants, not something that is not beef.

>>12965952
>Ingredients: Potatoes, Vegetable Oil (Canola Oil, Corn Oil, Soybean Oil, Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Natural Beef Flavor [Wheat and Milk Derivatives]*), Dextrose, Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate (Maintain Color), Salt. *Natural beef flavor contains hydrolyzed wheat and hydrolyzed milk as starting ingredients.
This is on their website right now.

>>12962573
machines don't fart anon

>>12962878
He means instead of flavoring fake meat like beef, make it taste like a completely new tasting meat.

>>12965678
>vegans live longer on average
Your move news-poster

>>12963159
The huge majority of vegans are cognitive dissonant morons who think eating meat is murder but abortion is a human right

>>12966367
>>vegans live longer on average

So according to you- four or five months is now "longer than average?"

>>12966089
Not me. They have voluntarily taken themselves out of the gene pool. Nothing about that is bad.

>>12966446
That article infuriates me.

>>12961990
Mmm!
Processed food!

These are the vegans i can't respect. The ones eating processed shit that's supposed to mimic meat products.
There are so many whole foods they could eat, and they turn to pale, processed facsimiles of meat.

>>12966531
Vegans starve themselves and their own children. They also subject their own and other children to traumatizing conditioning (showing scenes of animal torture and animal slaughter to children who are waaaaaay to young) For liberal females this is their entire life of course.

Veganism is a Munchausen cult, where the cult members participate in self-harm and harming their own children, then praise and comfort each other for their "sacrifice and courage."

He’s obviously tripping on lsd or shrooms. Enjoy it anon. You deserve a nice time.

>>12966103
Not to mention the animals that are killed in crop harvesting, but you don't see those on your dinner plate, so we'll just ignore them.

>>12966589
Because the whole plant foods they eat taste like shit. Bad taste, not many calories from them, and often have to be shoved in a $350 blender just so they can choke them down.

They crave meat. A lot of the food they eat is made to basically look and taste like meat.

>another vegan thread

In a decade, because of the onset of plant-based meat, eating actual meat everyday will be something associated only with rich people, just like it was over a century ago.

>>12968280
That nonexistent whopping amount you need to pretend exists to justify mass slaughter
