Recently tried an Impossible burger and nuggets and thought that if nobody told me it wasn’t meat, I’d have thought the patty was made out of a weird kind of meat, rather than make a connection with the taste and texture of plants. Honestly, I might not complain if that was the only kind of “meat” I could have for the rest of my life.
Well, maybe I’d miss bacon.
I’ve yet to find the opportunity to try lab-grown meat, but I for sure would like to try it out and don’t see much wrong with it as long as it’s sustainable, reasonably priced, and doesn’t have anything you wouldn’t expect in a normal piece of meat.
Also, with imitation and lab-grown options, I’d no longer have to deal with the disgust factor of handling raw meat (esp. the juices) or biting into gristle. I’ll happily devour a hot dog, but something about an unexpected bit of cartilage gives me a lingering sense of revulsion.
Are you interested in the answer?
Yea lol
I think all the imitation food would be great as products in they own right if they weren’t trying to imitate something else. I feel like they would get better reception as variations of other plant based foods than meat imitations. I’m personally not too fond of them mostly because they seem to be as much processed as other stuff I don’t buy, I’m lucky enough to live in a place where unprocessed stuff is cheaper.
Lab grown meat? If it tastes good and is safe I don’t see a problem.
Yea I can see that. I personally detest tofu, except when in a dish that’s built around it rather than trying to imitate something else. Like in miso soup it’s delicious!
