Im not sure what it is, but does anyone else feel terrible after eating these simulated meat brands? Specifically ones like Beyond and Impossible trying to simulate the exact taste
Interesting, I’m not even vegetarian and I really like beyond meat. It doesn’t taste exactly like real meat but it is so good in a different way and I get it like whenever I have a chance
Yeah I too am not vegetarian and like it. I don’t see it as a meat substitute, it’s just something I like eating. It’s more like a different type of meat.
I’ve eaten multiple a day (it has good protein) multiple times a week, coincidentally including the past two days, and it’s never made me feel weird. I just throw them on the stove as a quick protein snack and rawdog that shit two patties at a time. Kind of degenerate behavior but I like the way beyond tastes alone. I swear my food taste isn’t totally fucked, I eat normal things too
I don’t know, I think it’s the mix and intensity of spices that they use, maybe?
And we agree on the idea. I’m not vegetarian but I’ve long decided that vegetarian-branded food should be judged on its own merits as food, not as “adequate replacement”. Like: is this veggie burger yummy, do I enjoy eating it? That’s the question, not “is it a good enough approximation to meat”. If I want meat, I’ll eat meat.
So (good) beef, chicken, veggie burgers: I like them because they taste good. Beyond meat burgers: I don’t like them because they make me feel yucky afterwards. That’s all.
I can eat several Burger King veggie burgers and feel fine while if I eat the normal whoppers in the same amount I will feel full and bloated afterwards.
Beyond and Gardein, yes. Impossible not so much though. The first version messed with me in the same way, but the second version they put out hasn’t yet.
I’ve never eaten meat in my life but I don’t want important conversations like this shut down by vegan zealots, if it’s not good or healthy I want to know.
I don’t remember why I don’t like beyond tbh, but impossible killed 188 rats to make their products if I recall correctly, it’s not even vegan. If it makes you feel sick, there’s no good reason to buy it - there’s lots of other options out there that taste good.
That’s hilarious, I guess its true what they say fanatics always starve.
188 is a crazy low number, you think they only killed those 188 and just let thousands of others infest their factory? Every food prep company is killing way more rats and mice, only caring about those killed for science is silly.

Actually the opposite for me. Real meat has so much grease in it I often feel bloated after a burger. Beyond meat burgers are fine for me.
Ya feel much cleaner in the tum. First I’ve read of aches from Beyondpossible
Yup, I hate “beyond meat”, it also makes me feel bad. I much prefer regular veggie burgers at this point.

I think the beyond meat is mostly for non-vegetarians to see that you can get similar feel using vegetables.
Generally I would rather eat real meat or when I want something vegetarian just give me a bean/pea patty with some good spices in.
Yeah definitely. Weirdly I still like it, the flavor is more interesting to me than beef and it’s a lot easier to rawdog

Opposite.
Go. Vegan.
Ive never eaten meat my friend. Just because something is vegan doesnt mean it has to agree with my body

Apparently it’s debated whether the one-time killin’ affects the veganiciousness
Inclined to believe they do feel bad about it:
