wanted to see how wow players feel about plant based meat

I recently tried some plant steak and it was really good, plant based meat to me seems like either a hit or miss, I’m not vegetarian or anything I just love trying new foods, how about everyone else?

It’s fine, can’t tell the difference.

The one drawback for me, as somebody with diabetes, is that plant-based meats have carbohydrates, whereas regular meat doesn’t. Which is fine, but it does mean I have to take more insulin in order to eat it.

One step away from eating bugs and living in a pod.

All meat is plant based.

You eat plants, you’re a “plant-based meat”.

Cows are some tasty “plant-based meat”.

Yum.

Last I had it, the taste was basically identical. If the texture wasn’t a little different I wouldn’t be able to tell.

The burgers from Impossible and Beyond are ok as basic fast food burgers but they can’t compete with higher end burgers yet.

My favourite thing about plant based meats is watching people go bonkers over them. The emotional investment some people seem to have about them is quite comical.

Seeing people get weird about new stuff is wild.

I actually unironically like MorningStar Farms chik patties and grillers… They taste good! I know they’re not the best for you, but heck, since when was a fried chicken or a burger good for you? XD

I tried an impossible burger once and wasn’t a huge fan of the taste.

I eat Impossible Burgers as fast food burgers. I’d never get one at a high-end establishment though - I’d rather just have some really good chicken or fish or shrimp at that point. Better to lean into the strength of the meal at that point than try to go for a poor substitute.

meat is injected full of hormones antibiotics and other stuff, its kind of a pick ur poison thing, no escaping chemicals

idk if its just me but plant burgers have been the worst plant meat I’ve tasted, I almost threw up with the impossible whopper

I’ll try anything once and this doesn’t seem bad to me as long as it tastes good lol

I had a black bean one a long while back and it was pretty disagreeable, but I don’t remember exactly why. A lot probably changed since I tried it though, so maybe I’d like them now more.

The kind I tried most recently was a bolognese with some sort of impossible meat.

You mean arthropods?

The world’s heaviest arthropod is the American Lobster, and they’re delicious.

Good quality meat is more healthy than any of that plant based faux meat. Gotta do your home work into how they do the faux meat, what is in it, and what health effects it has before consuming it. It is much worse.

Chicken is healthy. Fish is healthy. Your greasy triple cheeseburger isn’t healthy.
