No, it has the texture of meat, but is much lighter and feels like you ate oatmeal and not meat. Not to mention many brands add flavoring that does not taste like meat at all. Also highly processed, artificial food like this is worse for you than real meat.
I’m fine with other people enjoying that pseudo-meat, but it’s not something I’m the least bit interested in, and I’d never want it forced on me somehow through government regulations or whatever.
The diet soda is what really pulls it together. Just the other day, I was eating my triple double cheeseburger with fried onion rings, tater tots, and a side of cheese fries on bacon (yes, on, it’s a stacking procedure). My daughter says, “I don’t think that’s healthy.” My only response was taking a giant slurp from my 44 oz diet soda and laughing.
There’s nothing wrong with diet soda and people who sneer at it are silly.
If they changed the labels around so that diet soda was just “soda” and what’s now regular soda was “extra-calorie soda” would people still sneer the same way?
I can’t ever see myself eating bugs unless it’s heavily, heavily processed and does not resemble bugs in any conceivable way. Problem is, in doing that you’re probably making the resulting product wildly unhealthy.
I can’t eat shellfish either for the same reason. I respect that others find giant sea bugs delicious but I just can’t lol.
If they didn’t feed it arsenic, antibiotics, and GMO grains and soybeans, all of which end up in the chicken meet. The natural diet of chickens is whatever they pick up while wandering outside, which is why pastured chicken is the healthiest. “Free range” chicken means chickens that are in a chicken house which has the door open occasionally, but it is not required to let them out to label it as such.
If it’s wild caught fish that didn’t live in polluted water. Fish grown in tanks, who knows how clean they are?
Fatty meat is good for you. It makes your eyes bright and your coat shiny.
I prefer to cook all my food at home from basic ingredients.
