From trying a lot of vegan meat alternatives my assumption was they have no fucking idea what they are doing.

The time making fake meat would be better spent promoting vegan dishes that aren’t pretending to be something else, because those are fantastic.

Yes, but have you tried Beyond? It’s delicious. Now if we can just get get vegan cheese up to par…
Just no, hard no. Came off a kayaking trip starving for whatever. My vegan gf got us Beyond burgers. Absolutely revolting. I can’t put my finger on it, but it tasted like “chemicals”. LOL, I know, great description, but I couldn’t choke down half the thing.
It is 100% chemicals. ;)
