Strangely, I don't think Big Meat has to worry about tooooooooooo many people abandoning real meat for that

I wouldn't know personally, I won’t into a McDonalds. I'll go hungry first.

I still have to learn my lesson at KFC - I get the urge once a year or so, then regret the three days it takes for me to digest.

A lifetime on the road has given me an addiction. The Quarter Pounder And Cheese is the perfect meal. The processed cheese slices glue all the components together so that you can hold it in one hand while driving. You just have to get them to go light on the mustard and ketchup or they squeeze out when you squish the bun flat. Calories on the move.

I have been following the trend and false promises of phony meat industry (They competition-ish). Truth be told, its not meat and just doesn't pass muster with people.

I could go on and on about human evolution based on our extremely high MEAT det, but skip it. Its just what people don't want, its NOT good for the environment and quite frankly a waste of resources.

I know I'm going to sound like the crazy conspiracy guy again, but just no...

I want my steak to come from an actual cow, that preferrably lived it's best life possible roaming out in fields, being social with other animals, and sustained itself on whatever it chose to eat off the ground.

I don't want my steak to be grown in a lab by the same general group of dickheads that consistently demonstrate their intent to control every aspect of our lives


I trust cows a whole lot more than I trust Bill Gates. (One of the driving forces pushing this lab grown meat - which he ofcourse stands to profit immensely from)

I'm a McDouble guy myself

Smaller. Less messy. Highly recommend giving it a shot

The problem arises with just putting the word on the package and then putting on display along side the product it is designed to replace.

You are still conflating plant based products and factory grown meat to make your argument. This thread is about one of those things and not the other.

Why? Well, mainly:
1. Reduce the environmental impact of conventional animal agriculture;
2. Improve animal welfare by eliminating slaughter;
3. Enhance public health by potentially reducing disease risks; and
4. Ensure greater food security by creating a more sustainable and efficient protein source.

Beyond meat doesn't taste beef, but if you through it on hamburger bun with cheese and all the fixings, its close enough to be enjoyable. We ate a LOT of beyond meat burgers during my wife's first pregnancy. If it wasn't for the REDUCILOUSLY high sodium content (and price) we'd probably still eat them.

This is a boomer thread if I've ever seen one, lol.

Im Gen X.

But I have no interest in lab grown meat, no thanks. You're more than welcome to fill your boots though, you can actually have my share.
