Beyond Meat is not like tofu or so, it is designed to be unrecognizable from meat by tasting it - so you won't have to give on our beloved meat. I also don't want to go with a vegan diet just because "environment", but having a reasonably priced substituent which does not contain tortured animals and has lower env. impact - then just why not.
- legitster 6y agoI've consumed a lot of Beyond and Impossible, and it's good! But still a far way from unrecognizable. In fact, one thing they have made me appreciate is how good some of the "traditional" meat substitutes are. I actually quite like Boca and Garden Burgers et al! Still, the once or twice a year I go to a steakhouse and get a nice medium rare steak - we're a long, long way off from that.
- blackearl 6y agoI'm sure Burger King's meatless burger is recognizable to some, but when I tried it I don't think I'd really be able to tell the difference. It's easier to hide when the meat is already super processed like fast food meats. Agreed that there's still no comparison to a fine steak.
- ksec 6y agoI guess it depends. I dont know anyone who cant tell the difference even without knowing it. They do taste good, but they are not meat. Even processed one. And generally speaking, McDonald's processed food are pretty damn good in terms of processed food category. As compared to rest of the industry.
- exyi 6y agoI know it's slightly different, but the goal is to be the same. And actually, if I were to decide whether the meat in Mc Donald's burgers or nuggets is real, I'd just say no - it is much further from a "real" burger / nugget than I'd say about beyond.
- phonypc 6y agoNuggets are debatable. McD's burger patties are just beef and salt though.
- gowld 6y agoBeeyond is not like real meat at all, it's just more obviously "imitation meat" than soy. I don't know why fast restaurants don't just serve tofu like Asian restaurants -- it's cheaper and tastes just as good when they cook in a sauce. USA mass culture's fear of tofu is bizarre.
- windowojji 6y agoFor some reason people who cook in the USA believe that food isn't worth eating unless it looks like meat. I'm astonished at the amount of time that I go to eat "vegetarian" food anywhere and it's just the meat dish with fake meat in it. Meanwhile, I go to India and check for vegetarian food, and suddenly it's like care and thought was actually put into making food that works for vegetarian ingredients instead of just substituting what's in a meat dish.
- 01100011 6y agoI like tofu, despite a soy allergy that causes me unfortunate issues, but tofu isn't anything like meat. A lot of recipes are built around meat and its qualities. It makes sense to offer folks a choice. If people wanted tofu, people would be selling more tofu.
