Heath posted:I haven't had the impossible burger but I quite like the Beyond Burgers. Texture and taste wise they're pretty close to my senses, but I think I could tell them by smell. The BB has a slight undertone of something that distinguishes it from real meat, but for what it's worth I also prefer the smell of them to real meat I've had both and they're both pretty good. IMO the Impossible Burger tastes very much like meat, however (as mentioned) it's a little drier and also has a less complex flavor then real meat. It's still quite tasty, and fills the role of meat very well. If they were a dollar cheaper rather than a dollar more expensive, I'd probably get them every time. The Beyond Burger ranks a bit lower in my opinion. It's still "meaty" and fill the role of beef perfectly fine, but they have a flavor I don't really care for, I think it's because of the beets they use to color it. Also their CEO caved to all the anti-soy panic and uses other legumes for their product, which annoys me. Still they're okay and like the Impossible Burger I'd probably consistently order them if they were cheaper... just slightly less enthusiastically.

Vincent Van Goatse posted:The lack of quotation marks around "cheesesteak" in this post troubles me, since a vegan cheesesteak is a thing that cannot by definition exist, as vegan food cannot contain either cheese or steak. If questlove calls it a cheesesteak I'm gonna call it a cheesesteak. Good enough for me.

I read this as "cheesecake" at first was was getting kinda queasy thinking of a cheese cake with beef crumbles. Vincent Van Goatse posted:The lack of quotation marks around "cheesesteak" in this post troubles me, since a vegan cheesesteak is a thing that cannot by definition exist, as vegan food cannot contain either cheese or steak. There's actually is a vegan cheese in the works that basically is real cheese. Basically they've inserted the genes for the proteins in milk into yeast, making a product that's more or less the same as real milk. They're planning to use different fats (making it healthier) and different sugars (making it lactose free), but if it goes as planned the end product will look taste and cook the same as cow milk cheese. There's already been some ice cream produced using this method. Viscous Soda has a new favorite as of 01:39 on Jul 23, 2021 |

Yeah, and the other day some clown tried to sell me beefsteak tomatoes, I said no thanks, tomatoes cannot contain either beef or steak. Then today someone called a joke cheesy. I said that's ridiculous, a joke cannot contain coagulated milk curds, the one and only definition of the word cheese.

I mean by that logic nothing is vegan because the plants probably have stuff what came from a dead animal at some point cos that's how the life cycle works. If you're approaching your eating habits out of some weird homeopathic animal content approach that's silly, if they make a way to produce useful and desirable food products more efficiently and without the industrial harm of animals that's obviously a good thing.

The truly vegan food can only come from a planet where animals never evolved, as it requires an unbroken chain of plant-on-plant cannibalism. Otherwise it's just repurposed meat.

It looks like they're still going strong, and I love that they're making the research publicly available for anyone to tinker with. It would be really cool to have vegan cheeses that come in tons of different varieties; I'm not vegan but I love the idea of making it easier for people to decrease their meat and animal product consumption.

So im sorry cause i cant keep up with all the poo poo you guys over there are doing but...Nazis tried to storm the capitol and overthrow the government right? And now the government pretty much decided that "Nah were not gonna look into that or investigate it any deeper than possibly prosecuting the people we could easily identify"? That cant' be right can it? Cause that would be pretty loving ridiculous!

Yeah, I think it really shouldn't be understated that the Tumblr Teens ended up being a very effective distraction to hide the birth of the chud right-wing, and soon became an equally effective boogeyman for their ascension. The internet mock-o-sphere made perhaps the wrongest possible choice in favorite targets in that time.

Wasn’t that Reddit’s fault though? I remember at the time they were all mean young men acting far worse than any group of teenage girls ever could because at the root was a genuine hate of anyone who wasn’t a white young straight Cis man.

I'd submit that in the age of 9/11 if you were going to mock someone online, it was a much tougher choice to go after the "common sense, roll up your sleeves, get 'r done, no time for this wussy self-absorbed PC bullshit" side instead of the ones who looked more like they were living in an escapist fantasy world of personal grievances. Throw in a dose of South Park and I'm surprised there was anyone the wind didn't blow to the nazi side.

Speaking of 9/11 I found a 9/11 fanfic on a dragon pet site. Idk if its idiotic but it did make me laugh. Bolding minequote:I moved from my home in the Light Flight to find a new home in the Wind Flight in the Clan of the Singing Winds. The leader of the clan welcomed me to the flight and presented me with a choice: I could name myself without any help or go to the Pond of the Singing Winds where I would see a vision that might lead me to find a perfect name for myself. Given this choice, I decided to go to the Pond of the Singing Winds, which was a large pool of crystal clear water. The leader of the clan, Kristoff, told me that all I had to do was touch my nose to the water, close my eyes, and calm my mind and the pool would give me a vision.
