- AnotherGoodName 1y agoYeah i’m a meat eater just trying to avoid cholesterol (it has 0) and it’s a great alternative. The real issue is that it’s not stocked in many supermarkets in the USA. Whole foods for example doesn’t sell it.

- micromacrofoot 1y agoThese people know they're testing meat alternatives, so it's not blind — there are a lot of biases that come out as soon as you start talking about alternatives because people don't understand them. Anecdotally I've heard similar thoughts "I can taste the chemicals" from someone that didn't realize they were eating a handmade veggie burger made from chickpeas.
