A cow is a more efficient meat factory than a fake-meat factory.

Imagine being some dumb and brainwashed you would pay 20% more for crisco than real raw butter as an example

Virtue signaling comes at a cost.

There’s tons of ingredients in impossible products- mostly industrial oils

The people demand pleef!

🤷‍♂️ 👻 Spooky

perhaps we should let them iterate a few times before passing judgment.

They’re paying for marketing, product engineering, and the feeling of smugness.

💯 percent a scam My sister eats it and is so indoctrinated that no matter what I say she thinks she’s “saving the animals” by choosing it So in her mind she’s been tricked that the premium is “worth it”

lmfao definitely a scam. Plantbased replacements are made so that virtue signalling morons can feel like they are morally better than everyone else.

^this

I just saw an interesting thought experiment by Neil Degrasse Tyson that takes on veganism. Admittedly it's a bit out there but it's still a compelling point. Tl;dr it's basically that if you imagine a species of sentient space aliens that are plant based in that they do photosynthesis for their ene...

If it only was plants. https://i.nostr.build/m5O7.jpg

Because they know the propagandized consumer pawns will buy it thinking it’s healthy

Supposedly impossible burgers are horrible for your liver

And you paid for it which in turn justified the price, and posted it which may attract more people to pay for it. We are all part of a scam.

Did you see this? If you look at people from the Matrix viewpoint (plugged into the propaganda machine) it’s even more frightening. https://damus.io/note1x7j5vy50kvd7tz768ggf7xhut93gh5f8ace6cnj0aq5nee5t9umqpvl5up

Eat a soyburger and wait to be offended

They once pulled this trick with lobster (sea bugs) and the results stuck

I think if people are dumb enough to eat that they’re dumb enough to think it’s worth paying a premium for.

Just be patient Lyn, the prices are coming down due to some magical efficiencies that the meat industry just doesn’t have. 😂 https://www.foodnavigator-usa.com/Article/2022/11/08/Does-Impossible-Foods-new-marketing-chief-face-an-impossible-task-to-carry-the-torch-for-plant-based-protein-indust...

As a vegan that struggles to eat out, especially at restaurants, it’s infuriating to deal with “trendy” upcharges like this.

Because it’s not about the price for those consuming them

mental illness is expensive.

And it doesn't taste as good.

Really? Try this historical example and see if the answer comes to you. Free cotton (which I am not getting) is 20% more expensive than slave cotton. How is that not a scam? Who buys that?

That shit has a bigger carbon footprint than the real beef.

I share your view… it is so hard though to argue that way. You are confronted with so much ignorance and ms-media-fed that I often keep it to myself. Any ideas how to handle that?

scam!

It’s ridiculous that it costs more than a regular meat burger. But I would get the Impossible Burger.

Want to know something else ridiculous? The burgers are patented. Patent attorneys are expensive, so they gotta pay for them somehow! Ha.

They're walking round you and drink bottled water.

That if Big Food manipulating with our existential money and health. Avoid both. Switch to plant based diet.

The only thing I buy at an airport is water. Which is very annoying as that was the very thing that was stolen off me at security! "Absolute scam".

We switched from animal insulin to human insulin after 1980s, which are 70-300% more expensive with little benefit. We started using expensive selective COX-2 inhibitors for pain, but the older, non-selective ones are safer and equally effective. We gave rosiglitazone to millions of people to mana...

They have to pay their real estate debt for turning 1/2 of US soil into GMO soy and corn farms

plants and an egregious amount of seed oils*

I am curious to know if you have any thoughts on Bill Gates buying up farmland to grow soybeans and such to manufacturer fake food. I might be oversimplifying, but that was the gist as I remember it. I also read about a sort of secret California group buying farmland to raise real animals and grow...

Because it's not even just putting planta together. I work in the food industry (strictly whole, all natural foods) and I'm not touching that shit or any other "plant based" meat/seafood replacement with a ten foot pole in a hazmat suit.

The ingredient list is scary.

Yes, more expensive and less healthy, so not a good option to reduce the environmental footprint of industrial livestock agriculture.
