Works in theory! Practice? That's something else

I grew up with a sister who raised chickens that ran loose. Including a rooster that attacked me on sight every day. As far as Im concerned the only good chicken is a dead one.
Word is they're pretty much like every other chicken nugget out there in terms of taste.You can make anything taste like chicken since most everything already does.
I was a little shocked by the size and shape of these nuggets. The 1 1/2-by-2-inch rectangles were much larger than the fast-food nuggets I'm used to at other chains....Ultimately, I won't be ordering these again for myself. They didn't taste identical to the real thing, and I'd prefer actual chicken.
Haha, remember the food pyramid, and everything low and no fat.... Americans becoming obese anyway because it took so long to figure out that fat wasnt making them fat, it was excess carbs, particularly sitting on the couch snacking before bed.I haven’t been to KFC in years.
Do these cost more, or less, that “real” chicken nuggets?
Too bad there is so much lack of agreement and so much unclarity on what foods are most healthful. Clarity about that would go a long way in guiding this kind of crap, err, questionable food products.
Its weird thinking how it was cooking at the turn of the century or so. (1900). I saw a doc on Heinz ketchup as an example. Most of his competitors put their products in dark colored glass bottles because their products were often spoiled at worst or inconsistent at best. As marketing ploy he puts his in clear glass with all ingredients listed, goes to the govt and lobbies congress to set up what became todays FDA. Figures the inspections will run his competition out of business.Batvette ….
Yep, I agree. The “food pyramid“ is one of the most egregious scams ever foisted upon us by the gov-mint, in cahoots with big-Agra. Sadly it is still being sold as gospel.
it is very hard to equal, much less beat, cooking at home from scratch ingredients. But the problem is how to find time for it? What with the demands of the job, kids, Facebook, Tik-Tok, Twitter, Reddit, YouTube, and all the other “wonderful“ screens that enthrall so many American sheep, I mean, citizens.
I like EVERYTHING at Chick-Fil-A, but the strips are especially tasty.I like the chicken strips at Chick-Fil_A.
I live with my head in the sand most of the time, by choice. What is "starlink"?If we look at the progress, it won't be long before consumers will be buying vegetarian meat substitutes over real meat. Not because of ethical considerations, but because it will be a lot cheaper. Farm prices will tumble as a result and combined with starlink that is going to be a good thing for people who want to get out of the cities.
Interesting times.
From what I understand the bacteria in our gut are influencing our cravings. But I have no idea if this is actually true. People are taking antibiotics to kill of all the bacteria and repopulate the bacteria in their gut with the "right" bacteria.True story.
So I'm leaning over the kitchen sink a few minutes ago eating a piece of fried chicken wondering.
Why can't we choose to eat vegis instead of paying someone take vegies and process it into fake meat.
Could 70 years of advertising have thoroughly convinced us we must eat meat and if we can't have meat we will take fake meat instead?
I'm not pitchin a bitch. I just wonder about stuff sometimes.
The dilemma, I think, is in the "fake" part of the thought. It's not fake food and it's not 100% vegetables.Why can't we choose to eat vegis instead of paying someone take vegies and process it into fake meat.
Probably helps to indoctrinate children (e.g., food pyramid in grade school) too, the advertising then is just a reinforcement of what's known to be true.Could 70 years of advertising have thoroughly convinced us we must eat meat and if we can't have meat we will take fake meat instead?
I have heard the same. That train of thought seems totally goofie to me. ?People are taking antibiotics to kill of all the bacteria and repopulate the bacteria in their gut with the "right" bacteria.
Fake is just a convenient word for me. In my mind, it was real food before being processed into a product which represents something it is not.The dilemma, I think, is in the "fake" part of the thought. It's not fake food and it's not 100% vegetables.
Again, but this time I will call them "Big Food", is attempting to convince folks that they have the "easy fix" to anyone's dietary needs.There's also the advantage that portion sizes have the correct nutritional amounts for an uncomplicated dietary replacement for what people are used to.
Some of us are not big fans of "processed anything" so we put forth the extra effort, pay the higher price or simply shop as much as possible on the edges of the grocery store so to speak. A number of years ago the stores kept processed foods in the middle and fresh unprocessed foods on the edges. Stores have changed that practice, probably so we would have to pass this product to get to that product.Perhaps think of it as processed plant products? We eat a lot of processed foods... for example, cereal, bread, cheese, and beer are all processed foods. We eat them because we like them and a variety of other reasons. That is we could choose to eat grain & barely, but it's not the same as drinking beer. ; -)
In reference to 70 years of advertising:Probably helps to indoctrinate children (e.g., food pyramid in grade school) too, the advertising then is just a reinforcement of what's known to be true.
