Seen some fake meat on another thread , what is everyones opinion on such things and good or bad ?

I've never wanted to try any , they just look awful. Plus I've heard of how much these manufactured foods are created and reallly wonder if they are 'healthy' considering how much engineering and chemistry is used to produce such stuff. Real meat is natural , this stuff is definitely not. Also not a fan of TVP (textured vegetable protein) and how it is being slipped into products.

Cows have been turning vegetation into meat for centuries. I see no reason to forsake what God has provided for my sustenance.

If they use the word "meat" in any way in describing it they are not trustworthy.

At least we had some laughs ...while it lasted....

Yep! Needed that!

Most laughs I've had in a while....Might need surgery!

It's probably fine...my daughter has pledged to be vegetarian, and everyone seems to pander to this nonsense! She used to be my little carnivore, but doesn't complain about what is presented to her (not by me!) So it must be good, or what we had before was REALLY bad!

I like imitation crab meat. Does that count?

Why do they call it meat ? Are they not really convinced it the way to eat?

Yukon your nicer then me, even they salads have meat around here and i wouldn't make any special for even one of my kids. You eat what your served or go hungry.

There will be some real adjustment issues for most as to appearance, texture etc. What will be the making or breaking of mass production of these types of food would be the environmental foot print that it takes to grow, manufacture etc. the product. Beef uses a big foot print, hogs and poultry not near as much. Beef however use millions of acres of native grassland which makes the calf-cow aspect utilizing resources that have very limited value to other industries. The finishing of beef is where the foot print gets much bigger but that is the way we like our meat. The four gut system of a bovine can be created in labs so that if and when the grass can be fed to the system and the science can create meat, or milk on a scale that would be needed for major production that could be a game changer. On a small scale it can and is being done but not at a cost effective and efficient way yet to be major players in the market.

No, it's made out of fish meat.

If imitation meat tastes as good as imitation fur looks I think I'll pass.

i think we made Savell snivel.

Ones I've looked at in store had so much sodium and other crap in them they were not necessarily a "healthy" option, just an option.

Now from time to time I will order a grilled portobello mushroom sandwich instead of a burger, but hey its a whole mushroom head not some processed pretend to be. I've had black bean burgers too. Same thing though those bean burgers tend to be very high in sodium and other garbage added they aren't necessarily a good healthy option.

I've battled high cholesterol my whole adult life and am always looking for red meat alternatives. Thank you relatives for passing down high cholesterol issues to me! Fish, chicken, veggies, beans, sometimes I have to make choices over things I'd rather have over things I should have. Fake meat though is not something I reach for typically. I'm no vegetarian but I do have to be selective with meat cuts and types. I was on medication for it for a while then decided to start running and eating better and that worked for me. If I let up though oh boy do the bad numbers climb fast. I'll keep running and eating the stuff we were supposed to eat as nature intended.

I am fan of imitation crab meat though, a guilty treat.

From the looks of it, you would find this product in the refrigerated section.

Looks like a weird sweet potato

Meat is good, and vegetables are good, but the two should never be confused.

That's what she said.
