Have been almost completly vegetarian for the last 4 and a half years and was pretty much a carnivore before that, so I feel this is as unbiased of an opinion as is possible.
The Beyond, Gardien, Impossible, etc fake chicken have more flavor, nearly indistinguishable texture, are just as juicy, and aren’t greasy. At this point, I consider them better than regular chicken with the sole exception of fried chicken which was never my favorite but I can see the appeal of it.
I’ll concede that the beef substitutes have a ways to go (I like them and they’re not bad but they’re not fooling anyone, either) but they’re not the subject of this opinion.


Honestly, for nuggets and chicken burgers I could see this but there’s no way this is remotely true for roast chicken / chicken breasg unless all those brands have dramatically changed their products recently.
The texture between difference between actual real chicken and chicken paste that they add to nuggets burgers etc is wildly different and I’ve never seen any fake chicken product be able to replicate that texture.
