Yep. It's insane to see how much it's grown in the past few years. Props to the OGs who have been vegetarian long before it's become easier and more accessible --- http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/emblem%20boy/avatar-body.png haters gonna hate ... Copied to Clipboard!

Also... has anyone here tried KFC's new beyond chicken? They taste good? Taste bad? I don't eat fast food much these days, so I haven't tried them. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I liked them to the extent that I wondered if it was really fake meat but it was $15 for 12 nuggies, fries, and a soda pop so Id rather go somewhere else entirely. --- The web of destiny carries your blood and soul back to the Genesis of my life form.

I mean, given that KFC literally can't even figure out how to make fries suitable for vegetarians, let alone vegans, I'm not really sure I'm going to trust their plant-based nuggets or whatever to actually be meat-free rather than just bulked up with some plant-based ingredients. (Context note: At least where I live, KFC's fries contain both beef fat in the fries themself, and chicken in the salt.) --- Trumble alt. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I mean, good for people who want to pretend they're eating fake meat that doesn't taste like shit. I'll stick never touch fake meat.

Of course it'll grow and grow, the margins are greater than with real meat so they'll shove it down our throats as much as possible. --- https://imgur.com/a/FU9H8 - https://i.imgur.com/ZkQRDsR.png - https://i.imgur.com/2x2gtgP.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

Looks like meat eaters make up a large percentage of those who eat plant-based meats: https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/food/2022/01/20/meatless-restaurants-saved-700-k-animals-2021/6570343001/ The first three weeks of 2022 have already brought a variety of new alternatives to popular chains. Chipotle has introduced a plant-based, vegan chorizo for a limited time, Kentucky Fried Chicken launched a plant-based fried chicken option in partnership with Beyond Meat, and McDonalds announced this week that its "McPlant" meatless burger will be available in 600 stores in the San Francisco and Dallas areas starting next month. Personally, I think whole-plant based diet is way more healthy and tasty. ... Copied to Clipboard!

And yet there will always be a demand for real chicken. Not nuggets, but well cooked stuff. --- Cute dog lover ... Copied to Clipboard!
