Wake me up when the veggie burgers are cheaper than real ones. Since meat farming is supposedly so inefficient, this should be easy

i dont know if i've had impossible burger but i had some beyond meat brats i think and they were almost disturbingly similar to some of the real ones i don't care that much about actually replicating meat products to that extent but i guess that might be the only way to reach some people -- at the same time it almost feels like some kind of max-boot-democratic-party-strategy but for vegs

Do you realise that in addition to veganizing water, there are studies under way to veganize salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk, hamburgers? Hamburgers, Mandrake? Middle-aged men's hamburgers!

Since meat farming is supposedly so inefficient, this should be easy a $1 for a veggie whopper is actually pretty good price wise. would be good to see that come down to price parity eventually. then again meat prices in america are generally extremely subsidized via agricultural practices of 100000000 acre-ft of water for $7.5, unrestricted aquifier pumping to depletion, corn subsidies, special agricultural write-offs, and other special interest handouts to Tyson Foods/Hormel/Cargill/Quality Beef Products Inc. etc

becuase it's a lifestyle product. if you want to make a patty out of lentils and beans you can, and it's called a falafel.

i eat meat still but would gladly not eat it for a given meal if im somewhere where a decent alternative exists. an impossible burger scratches that itch. or like, making sausage with peppers and onions and using one of those beyond meat italian sausages. i think eating less meat is good and worth trying to do but i was raised around meals having a big ol chunk of protein in the middle of the plate so even though i have a few vegetarian meals a week, sometimes you need something like that satisfy you.

Impossible Foods says they want to get regular people to stop eating meat, so they really do need to get the price down. Guilt-based marketing isn't going to cut it.

here's an idea for the vegetarian folks: Why don't you just make vegetables taste good by preparing and cooking them well, instead of trying to shoehorn them into pretending to be meat? India figured this poo poo out long ago. Vegetables Can taste good, but blending them into a slurry and form-injecting them into a burger patty isn't A) fooling anyone? and B) it's not good. Just make the veggies good. It's not "impossible"

I'd go as far as to say the entire American notion that vegetables tasting good is "impossible" is shooting yourself in the foot branding wise. How about "Tasty" instead for a slogan I eat veggies all the drat time and it turns out when you dont just boil/steam everything they can actually taste good

peoples love of meat vs other things is probably partially influenced by them even accidentally seasoning meat in one way or another all the time and never correctly preparing anything else

a vegetable patty has value if it can be made to taste good and be cheap since the form factor is very convenient.

eggs and dairy are actually harder to replace than meat imo, moreso because while you can pretty easily exclude eating them directly, it's trickier when it comes to other applications like baking and the substitutes aren't always as universal

also here's an article about cockroach milk, with this great part: 'Lacking nipples, cockroaches cannot be milked in the county fair sense. A cockroach-inspired thirst-quencher, if it ever existed, would more likely come via yeast, he said. Bioengineered yeast is already used in the food industry to produce synthetic sweeteners, for instance. Plus, the roach brand is bad for business. “I don’t think anyone is going to like it if you tell them, ‘We extracted crystals from a cockroach and that is going to be food,’ ” Ramaswamy said. Further examination of the crystals will also tell if the roach crystals are toxic to humans.'
