The big problem with mushrooms as a meat substitute is that they lack substance. Meat is filling. You can eat a burger and be satisfied. Replace the meat with mushroom and you'll be looking for something else. You won't feel like you've had a full meal.

I do not like mushrooms, I would be angry if someone slipped me one instead of a proper burger

Mushrooms are how the earth turns death back into life. They are not for eating.

Mushrooms are delicious but they are not burgers. That being said, everyone should be free to eat whatever I like.

We're not "defending" it, we're attempting to explain the appeal and incredibly annoyed at hearing carnivores go off about how lovely it is. "We should just own it and get some good vegetarian food." It's not a new or insightful opinion, it's as played out as raving about bacon. Sometimes I want a piece of poo poo drowned in ketchup and mustard because I grew up poor in the United States of McDonald's and Prison Food In School, and I don't hate my childhood enough to never be nostalgic. Or maybe I'm just an idiot with bad taste. Either way, I work out, watch my diet, and I can eat what the gently caress I want. And if I was fat, you still don't get to dictate to me what food I should eat if you ain't my doctor. General you here, not specifically directed at you Tiggum. I don't mean to get overly into angry preachy vegetarian but like... people have to understand that simply revealing you don't eat meat almost always brings one of like three comments from people that have no business commenting. In real life. Every loving day. And "I would simply get a nice vegetarian curry" is one of them. Particularly given that eating out is a social experience and very often, you go out to a place with few options. I don't dictate what patties Chili's uses and sometimes at a lovely chain joint I want a goddam burger and not an iceberg salad and tortilla chips.

"lovely" fast food is tasty and convenient.

"We should just own it and get some good vegetarian food." It's not a new or insightful opinion, it's as played out as raving about bacon. The fake meats are also good for appealing to us non-vegetarians to just reduce our meat intake which is good. I recognize and respect the environmental and ethical concerns of the meat industry but have not given up on meat because it tastes good, it's convenient, I know how to cook it, it's what I'm used to. But if I can get an impossible whopper or whatever for close to the same price as a beef one, and it tastes as good, then I will and that's just a bit less meat that needs to be grown and killed. If imitation meats continue to get better and more affordable I could easily see myself reducing my meat intake to almost zero. Or to none at all if they actually get cheaper than real meat eventually.

Nobody actually cares about people's opinions on fake meat but everyone has to post a loving novel about it and that's why I hope the factories that make them burn to the loving ground.

My only real question about the various substitute meats is whether they have any actual nutritional value beyond "not meat". Like I'd assume a black bean burger would be pretty good but I have no idea what goes into the others. I had one of the Impossible Whoppers once. I found the texture a bit odd, but not objectionable. It tasted fine.

Soy is one of the extremely few plant proteins on earth that has all fourteen essential amino acids/a complete protein- the ones human bodies can't produce innately. Also it turns you into a cucked lib if you are Ben Shapiro. Other than that, what do you mean by nutritional value? They have the values and ingredients listed on the label. They tend to be lower calorie, more fibre, and mostly protein. What nutrients do you think you are getting from a beef burger than a morning star burger can't?

No, it's just as good as fast food! So, bad?You're not going to convince anyone that something is good actually by saying it's just as good as a thing that is universally acknowledged to be garbage. Saying it's just as good as a meat whopper is just acknowledging that it's not good and you know it. docbeard posted:My only real question about the various substitute meats is whether they have any actual nutritional value beyond "not meat".

I'm a vegetarian currently and for the foreseeable future. Also I do want to know about your choice of breakfast cereal because in my opinion the only good cereal is Golden Grahams mixed with Uncle Sam and no one agrees with me about it.

That sounds really good, actually. I haven't eaten cereal in years, but I was watching a food history documentary the other night and was reminded that there was a time that I could and would just kill an entire box of Special K.

Black beans are far far far superior to soy as a beef replacement despite not tasting anything close to beef but they gel better with the same things as beef than soy does.

What nutrients do you think you are getting from a beef burger than a morning star burger can't? I just meant at more of a high level (and I wasn't necessarily expecting you in particular to produce an answer, so thank you) since I haven't researched the things at all and had no idea what they were made of other than "plants". Makes sense that they're soy based since you can make soy taste like drat near anything. As for the latter question, I just assume that any nutritional value in fast food of any kind is entirely coincidental.

Thankfully angrily jiggling the handle usually fixes it so I don’t have to go I side the tank but ugh.

My toilet uses Mansfield parts, which contains this ridiculous poo poo instead of a normal flapper. It's like they were trying to make it use as many moving parts as they possibly could. Even after a fresh rebuild, it fucks up constantly. If it's not getting stuck open, it's slamming itself shut 1/4 of the way through a flush instead. No chain, though!

To-Door deliveries. (By companies with poor tracking systems.) Most companies here nowadays have systems where the tracking shows where you are in the queue, estimated delivery window, a notification when you're the next one in line for a delivery etc. But not Postnord, they're still doing the 'we have a package for you and we'll probably call you while we're outside your house, sometime today. We can't be assed to be more specific than that.' I really hate feeling like I can't start doing something / do groceries / washing etc because I'll just randomly get a call and have to drop everything to meet them at the door. The other delivery companies avoid that when I can just go 'oh, there's 10 people ahead of me in the queue, alright, I can pop out and get my groceries with no issue then.' (And on top of that already have like 2-3 hour windows they're targeting.)

Yeah, having to wait all day for something like that is the worst because you know they're going to call the minute you step away from your phone or go somewhere. At least they do call you though, sometimes they don't here despite delivery instructions and I get a 'whoops sorry, can't deliver it  ' if it comes on a weekend. I have absolutely no problem going to meet them for the package but I can't do that if I don't know that they're there

Yeah exactly, I just hate the feeling and it leads me to mostly faff around and procrastinate on the pc or whatever instead of doing anything useful. Aside from that, more peeves and frustration, since I'm moving to the other side of the country: I check an AirBnB listing. I make an account, I check the listing again, and suddenly it's 10% more per night with the exact same search terms / duration / etc. Gee I sure love utterly opaque bullshit algorithm sites that probably just increase the price because I'm showing interest in a listing, and they're trying to pressure me into getting it. Ugh, I have to move to a different city, which means getting a short term place to stay at so I can check out the long-term places, because landlords refuse to rent things out unless you've poked your head in and had a chat nowadays here. Also a couple hotels offer long-term (up to 1 month etc) stays for reasonable prices, then the second you actually look at those they just pull the rug out from under you and go 'no, we don't have those, but we have the exact same rooms at 2x the price compared to what we just promised on the previous page though.'

LOL at not having a FedEx driver that just hides poo poo in bushes for you to find literal weeks after ordering a replacement. Edit: the morning guy hides my poo poo, the evening guy tosses my poo poo onto the lawn even if it's something that super needs to be signed for like a box that is covered on all sides with labels that say EXPLOSIVE.

Stores with ambiguous as poo poo or just fake opening/closing hours. The sign says you open at 5 AM. An understandably pissed cashier as been made to stand there since like 3:30 AM. The door unlocks for customers at 7 AM and somehow I'm the rear end in a top hat for wanting to buy sunflower seeds before 10 AM.
