CrimsonKing Posted November 28, 2019 #27 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I'll never understand this goofy "plant meat" phase our country is going through atm... Why would a vegan want anything that looks and taste like meat anyway?...go eat a salad and shut up already... These things are by no means "healthy" either and all the machines and resources used to process them isn't any better for the enviroment than "cow farts" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a series called "Explained" on Netflix, and I believe it is season 1, episode 2 that is about plant based meat, focusing on Impossible and Beyond Meat. The resources it takes are so small, and the science behind it is absolutely amazing. They discovered a certain iron compound that gives the "meat" taste in real meat, and inserted it in to their plant based meats. The episode also covers lab grown meat. It's actually pretty interesting. Anyway, it covers the amount of resources it takes to make a regular burger, and an impossible burger, and it really isn't even close. Lab grown meat and plant based meat, at the rate the world is consuming will have to take over the market. Not because of a shortage of animals, but because of a shortage of what it takes to raise the animals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never tried one, and have no interest, I love my meat! I actually just started watching that series a couple days ago, that's the only reason that episode was fresh in my mind. I highly recommend it. Edited November 28, 2019 by Agent0range 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If burger king came out with a black bean burger or portobello burger I'd eat it. I did the vegan thing, worst experience ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the addition of coconut oil and such that is high in saturated fat that makes it unhealthy. I would never go vegan. I've literally had 3 ribeyes in the past week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aztek Posted November 28, 2019 #36 Share Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) all of those burger joints are just as bad, but i like BK better than mc, wendy's, and others. as long as you eat there once in a blue moon, they do not damage you that much. i agree with CK, why would a vegan eat something that looks like the food he does not eat? real vegans do not, they don't want taste of meat, or anything that resemble meat, but posers do. real vegan would not even touch BK, they are vegans for health reasons, BK is exact opposite.

+OverSword Posted November 28, 2019 #39 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Just a jerk looking to make easy money. BK should take it to court and after they win sue him for monetary damages incurred. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
