All those food additives cause food sensitivities…corn in the US, gluten in Australia. A wise person once told me not to trust anything that y grandmother wouldn’t recognise!

Abhorrent, just like PETA! Keep your lab created crap out of our food supply. Dyes, GMOs “food grade whatevers.” Feed them to your kids and when they rot from all of these “rare” diseases and disorders that keep cropping up, it will be the end of your blood line and we can go back to eating natural food again.

“developing countries have emerging middle classes that want a higher standard of living, alternative protein and meat production could find a market in the developing world first.”

My BS meter is going crazy right now.

Interesting, couldn’t help but think of the steak eating scene in the movie The Fly, “it’s missing something…”.

They have Beyond Meat in the deli section of some Whole Foods – it’s DELICIOUS!

Wheat is toxic, corn is toxic, canola/rapeseed/flaxseed is toxic, why would I trust the food industry to feed me yet another plant.

The reason people eat beef is because grass-fed beef (unfortunately, most beef is not grass fed thus this doesn’t apply to them, although this could be changed in less than 5 years if consumers forced them to) is high in omega 3, low in omega 6, and high in vitamin D, plus is full of a lot of other much needed vitamins (although many of these CAN safely be gotten from plants).

Unless they produce a plant that is non-toxic, the nutrition is actually in the plant matter and not seeds, contains large amounts of vitamin D and non-ALA omega 3 (omega 3 from ALA, such as from flaxseed is non-bioavailable snake oil and should, honestly, be illegal), and actually tastes like beef, then I’ll consider it.

In fact, I’ll hitch a ride on a flying pig just to shake their hands in person.

“Least effective” or “least efficient”?

No thanks, we already eat crap processed into our diets.
