Plant Based Salmon (🤮) is on its way. Thanks a lot Vegans!

[Wild self]

If it's cheaper than regular salmon, I'll try it and give it a fair shot

I'm no vegan/vegetarian but it's good for the environment in general if people reduce their meat consumption.

But Salmon is actually healthy. If the FDA started cloning fish out in the sea, that would be the best solution.

If vegan food was so good on its own, why are they always trying to imitate meat?

Because it's what Americans are conditioned to.

There are entire nations like India that make unlimited variations of fire vegan food without having to imitate meat. Like I said earlier in the thread, most of the vegan burgers I like aren't even trying to be meat, they're just doing their own thing. But there are generations of Americans who believe that if it doesn't taste like a particular kind of meat then it doesn't count, so that's what corporations produce.

I'm surprised saying, "Your taste in food is highly cultural and driven by your society" would even be controversial. Like have some of you people ever traveled anywhere in your life? You don't realize that people's preferences for food vary dramatically depending on the environment they were raised in? Soul food is amazing, but good luck finding a soul food restaurant in 95% of neighborhoods outside the USA....why is that, if taste in food is supposed to be some sort of objective reality?

Beyond burgers? It’s mostly beet juice.

I'm not sure about that. Ocean salmon pick up a ton of mercury. Harvard Health Publishing recommends no more than 8 ounces of salmon a week in order to avoid developing low-level mercury poisoning. They also have trouble breeding enough salmon because dams and logging have destroyed all the streams where they are supposed to reproduce, but salmon farming operations where they keep them in open ocean pens are highly polluting and tend to spread disease and bad genetics to wild fish.

plant base is a very deceptive label, most if this shyt got worms and other bullshyt

What's the problem here?

Random concoctions trying to imitate the taste of protein isn’t a problem to you?

Very healthy.....there is nothing wrong with salmon as is.

Great source of protein and very low in fat

This is one of those "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" situations

Why don’t they just try to make things taste better?

You got plant based salmon now but you come home from the supermarket with a tomato that doesn’t taste like anything. Milk in America is trash. You can’t get a decent loaf of bread ANYWHERE. The goddamn cheese isn’t even real cheese. It’s “cheese product”

They focusing on all this goofy shyt.

Who is "they"? The people making vegan products have literally nothing to do with the people who produce your tomatoes, milk, bread, and cheese.

The quality of food taste has gone down generally because corporate farming operations have completely taken over and pushed the family farmers out of business. The only goals of corporate farming are volume and profit, so they aim for doing the least work possible on the worst soil possible to produce the most product possible. As a result, most of their product is growing steadily lower in nutritional value and taste. If you force a tomato plant to produce 5x as many tomatoes as it used to, where is it going to get all the nutrients to make 5x as many tomatoes healthy and flavorful? It's still the same plant, and dumping a bunch of fertilizer and water on the thing isn't going to provide the micronutrients and such that you really need. Especially when they're forcing the tomatoes to grow out of season and/or picking them nowhere near ripe then playing games to get them to ripen later. Same goes for daily cows which produce something like 7x as much milk as they're naturally supposed to. Corporations are destroying the quality of food products in the name of almighty profits, and then we have to put that shyt into our bodies.

This is why I've said before, the more folk who start growing their own food and doing it right, the better off we'll be.

Not a single plant-based meat product on the market has worms in it.

So this thread was started by someone who doesn't know that protein is naturally occuring in plants.

[Bboystyle]

Alot of plant based subsitutes are full of sodium. I laugh when folks try to pass them off as healthy.

Read the lables before u eat anything plant based or not
