the issue with all of these foods is the amount of chemistry required to get them working. I like Michael Pollan's philosophy of "not eating food your grandmother wouldnt recognise". My outlook is at odds with the majority of folks I know which eat heavily processed food. I just cant see positive health outcomes with diets where your main protein source is stuff like this...VS being nuts, tofu, legumes (and milk, yoghurt, cheese, eggs if you eat them).
I don't understand the obsession with recreating meat from people who seem to make a lifestyle out of disliking meat.<p>If vegetables are your thing, why not eat vegetables in vegetable form?<p>The imitation stuff is always terrible. Vegetables are great when you don't mess with them.
Bacon comes from a pig. Anything not from a pig can be bacon-like and delicious if it wants to be but it will never be bacon. Tons of plant based alts are delicious, it just factually incorrect to call them meat.
FFS, It's <i>not</i> bacon, it's seaweed.<p>I've eaten seaweed.
I like seaweed.<p>Choice kinds, prepared well, taste great.<p>Can we stop it with the "pretend meat" already.
