That stuff is poisonous and loaded with salt on salt. Funded by genocidal maniac Bill Gates and is a bad mental practice for vegans. I always thought it was counterproductive to have a beef substitute. Why not just eat vegan food that isn’t trying to mimic beef? Makes more sense. There doesn’t need to be vegan hamburgers or hot dogs we can just eat alternative meals that aren’t trying to be meat subs

EDIT(UPDATE) Silly me forgetting some of you are lame you want to argue about even fake meat. Here’s the link for you all saying I’m crazy and Bill Gates has nothing to do with impossible foods. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/03/08/bill-gates-backed-impossible-burger-ceo-patrick-brown-on-fighting-meat.html

    OP, I received a report about this post but will not in good faith remove it since it doesn’t break any rules. However, everyone here has already said it better than I can: this post is incoherent with no actual concrete argument except that it’s high in sodium. I can’t force you to, but please try to do better if posting here in the future.

      Next time I’ll recommended vegan brownies filled with chemicals and GMO people like that right? Also the link I posted in the comments, is the concrete for my argument.

    That stuff is poisonous

    Citation needed

    and loaded with salt on salt.

    So is a meat burger when you cook it. I don’t always eat vegan burgers because they’re healthy.

    Funded by genocidal maniac Bill Gates and is a bad mental practice for vegans.

    You’ve got the beginnings of a point here. The Gates Foundation does have a lot of money in the Israeli occupation. I can’t see what that has to do with supporting Impossible however. Are you implying that supporting any company that the Gates Foundation also supports is an inherently bad thing?

    I always thought it was counterproductive to have a beef substitute. Why not just eat vegan food that isn’t trying to mimic beef? Makes more sense. There doesn’t need to be vegan hamburgers or hot dogs we can just eat alternative meals that aren’t trying to be meat subs

    Hard disagree. I’m vegan for the animals, not because I think meat is icky. If I can have tastes that I grew up with, without contributing to animal exploitation, that’s a win for me.

        I mean, you write:

        That stuff is poisonous and loaded with salt on salt

        So it is “poisonous” because it is salty and it is really salty, too? Instead of that you could just have written: That stuff is very unhealthy. That would be honest and less alarmist.

        My first idea was, you are one of the “only natural is healthy” bullshitters. I hope, that impression was wrong.

        It is totally fine to eat meat alternatives and meat substitutes. The most important thing is a balanced diet and to make a (at best annually) blood screening and to subsitute everything, you are missing out. In any case: substitute B12.

          Good God, you people dissatisfy me. How is calling it salty alarmist? You people understand very little of even basic health. Your food is so saturated with poison; you all have forgotten that even sodium is deadly in the “mild” amounts allowed in processed food (that’s not even including the super salty stuff). You would think obesity and high blood pressure would allow you all to link the connection that salt is poisonous. I just don’t have time to educated you people on every little part of the post. Educate yourself on Biology and Health

            It is correct, that most modern food products contain too much salt and also sugar and fat. It is correct, that we shouldn’t eat that stuff too often beacuse it is unhealthy. You are not saying that. You are instead honestly telling us, food is poisonous, because it contains sodium, an element that is essential for out bodies to survive. That is factually wrong and the reason, I call you alarmist.

            Water can kill you. If you drink too much water, you die. It is the same with salt. That doesn’t mean, any of those is a poison.

    Its been really helpful for cooking with my non-vegan partner. They want to make their comfort dishes they used to make available to me without changing it so much that it stops being their comfort dish. It has it’s place

    I get your point and don’t necessarily disagree with it, but you might want to tone down your language a bit as you come of a little cray cray.

      Starch is a game changer, seriously!
      Put tofu dices in a plastic bag, add a tablespoon of simple starch and shake well. Now fry them in a pan with oil and deglaze with a tablespoon of soy sauce.
      You get that crunchy delicious tofu you only knew from restaurants.

        i had one recipe that was supposed to make them crunchy but i think i need to press more water out next time too; i’m going to get a tofu press next. the air fryer is seriously amazing for tofu though. though sometimes i will pan fry them for even crisiper food as a treat. never tried the soy sauce tip though; i need to try that.

    This product is not intended for vegans. It targets fad dieters and carnists looking to give themselves moral license to continue being carnists. Junk food venders know that products like this and “diet” soft drinks actually cause consumers to purchase more junk food, covering the gluttony with a fig leaf and spending more money with the vendor.

    OP here. In one of the comments I posted a link proving that Bill Gates is a major backer of impossible foods. Anyone who said i sound crazy, allow me to respond with reality. You sound like you don’t read. A simple search would let you know I’m not talking out my ass.

      It is not the facts that make you sound crazy, it is your choice of words that do. Gates has done a lot of sketchy and sometimes downright evil stuff but how you said it made it easy to dismiss you.
