    I was a huge meat eater. These days, I consume animal protein maybe a couple times a week, with the goal of living on a 99% whole food plant based diet soon......If you have issues or a family history with heart disease, cancers, autoimmune issues, and you want to control your health destiny, you might consider getting educated on the benefits of eating more plants and less processed foods and animal based food.

    I used to make fun of all this vegan stuff too. ...but exercise is only about 25% of the solution. You cannot work off a bad diet.

    ....

    I resemble those remarks.

    I believe in the virtues and foibles of free will.
    Craft beer is bad for me, yet I enjoy often.
    High-fat red meat is bad for me so I minimize it.

    I'm on a mission to avoid being on statins.
    I'm not so sure I believe big Pharma.
    Taking a pill so that I can eat an unhealthy diet is, for me, seemingly foolish.

    I'm happy to eat a lean filet mignon occasionally.
    Far more often I eat the seafoods that I dearly love.

    When I eat Thai, which is often, I keep it veggie with fried tofu and feel good about it.
    Asians do soy proper justice in preparation.

    Due to the China tariffs (other threads) the US has a massive oversupply of soybeans anyway.

    I've always thought a portobello burger or bean burger tasted great even before I started watching my fatty-meat excess consumption.

    I'll be happy to try the new date meat but won't go out of my way to do so.

    BTW anybody can call call themselves a "nutritionist". Unlike the profession of Dietician, nutritionist is a free-range unregulated term.
    Be careful what you believe.

    "plant-based heme is made via fermentation of genetically engineered yeast"
    From their web site:
    https://impossiblefoods.com/heme/

    Well, to get taxonomically precise, yeast is not a plant!
    Yeast are in their own category, in some evolutionarily ways similar to animals, as they evolved from more complex multi-cellular organisms back down to single cells.

    I wonder if the strict vegans will take pause, given all those yeasts that were harmed.
    As I recall....yeast and dogs, way back, had a common ancestor, eh?
    Will PETA have any objections?

    Years ago there was a Soy producers convention at the AstroHall in Houston. After going through the free buffet line a local radio farm reporter said, The McDonalds across the street was overwhelmed.
    Micky D's tried this and it failed. The fact is there is already almost no meat in fast food burgers anyway. The meat in Jack in the Box Tacos is made of Oats.

    45tex,

    "Jack in the Crack" belongs to RALSTON-PURINA & everything but their soft drinks & fries are like eating DOG FOOD.

    yours, satx

    And yet sooooo many people woof it down


    66vette,

    TRUE.

    Otoh, a large percentage of "eaters" are more concerned with QUANTITY for a LOW price than they are QUALITY.
    (The owner of a café in my hometown up in Northeast TX has said in public, "Most customers will eat most anything that has white gravy slopped over it, is served with French fries, is filling & that it's CHEAP."

    The "QB", as it's popularly called, has nothing on their menu that over 9.95 per plate, plus tax. - The plates are large, piled high with fried or mashed potatoes, include a serving of pinto beans, a bowl of white gravy & battered/deep-fried "mystery meat" that the owner calls, "chicken fried steak".
    (Fwiw, I was once a partner in a "fast food joint" in Hot Springs, AR. - Based on that experience, I would guess that the "Big Chicken-fried Steak platter" which sells for 8.99 at the "QB" costs no more than 2.50 to serve.)

    yours, satx

    Moonpie,

    Even at about 10 bucks for the platter, with a glass of tea, coffee or a fountain Coke, I would NOT recommend it.

    Out here by the lake!
    So my chef buddy who has the credentials of Certified Executive Chef & Certified Culinary Educator says a good chef make money with basics like flour, water & perhaps sugar & shortening. A great chef makes money with water & air. The amount of new restaurants that fail yearly runs @ 50%.

    Think collateral damage in a world gone mad .

    IOW, good luck ultimately surviving in a culture that doesn't give a damn about what it puts in its mouth by virtue of political and social justice motives.

    I read what you wrote, and I understood it. You say there is already almost no meat in fast food burgers. This is a separate statement than the next sentence.

    Perhaps you're confused. Your last two sentences contain two separate statements. One concerns JIB tacos and the other covers ALL FAST FOOD burger patties.

    By your statement Whataburger patties contain almost no meat, same for Burger King, McDonalds, Wendy's In and Out, Braum's, Freddy's, and any other "fast food" burger.
