Bah. No fake meat for me! I would probably just go vegan for real before succumbing to the "lure" of fake meat.

Yeah, I don't think processed foods are the answer to anything.

So, playing devils advocate. If blindfolded and tested on both a regular cut, and a “manufactured cut of beef, if they both tasted identical, and you can not tell in texture or taste, and appearance. Then what? I have no current opinion, just asking. Bias is a pretty strong compass, that does not always get you to where you believed you were heading.Last edited by Richard Chrz; February 16, 2021, 09:57 AM.

Nothing is really natural and everything is processed. But there is a lot of steps to make fake meat. Anyone who says they understand the healthiness of something, make them show you the raw data.

Everything I read seems to indicate that it takes a lot of work to produce the fake meats that actually taste good, and they are in the end about the same level of calories and other stuff as real meat by the time it tastes good.

I've tried the ones Costco sells, Beyond Meat, or Impossible Burger, I don't remember. I was surprised. Not bad. Juicy, meaty flavor. I'm not ready to give up animal protein yet, but when we get shipped off to Mars in one of Elon's big rockets, due to, you know, this planet no longer functioning, then I suspect we'd love to have one of those fake patties on a sesame bun with onions, lettuce, mustard, ketchup, and Mars dust.

Just a note I’ve tried impossible and beyond. Impossible was much better and not bad. Taste and texture is much like a 95% lean burger ( which I wouldn’t choose on purpose).

Mr. Gates should really stay in his own lane. If he wants to eat synthesized food then by all means do so. However, he, nor anyone else, has the right to dictate what others do. It never ceases to amaze me how those who achieve great fortune and fame believe that somehow makes them all-knowing and omnipotent. We all put our pants on one leg at a time.Last edited by CaptainMike; February 18, 2021, 01:14 PM.

I think he should speak about this at the Meat-up and see what happens
I’ve thought pretty highly of his philanthropy since he started his post Microsoft life, but this makes me think he needs a straight jacket. Just give your money away quietly Bill.

Didn’t want to take the time to listen to him. But, I did run across this article on 3D steaks. I saved a pic of it. Sorta looks like one of Richard Chrz ‘s steak.Last edited by FireMan; February 16, 2021, 10:22 AM.

Would it surprise you that Mr. Gates is the largest farm land owner in the US?
Video: Facts Matter (Jan. 20): Why Does Bill Gates Own More Farmland in America Than Anyone Else?

Large Big Green Egg, Weber Performer Deluxe, Weber Smokey Joe Silver, Maverick 732, DigiQ, and too much other stuff to mention.
Shrug. I think we should all have cars that get 250 miles per gallon and that do your taxes. My opinion is about as valid as his.

Steve R - not remotely. I just find it amusing how, er, vociferously, people react. Gates has a good point, raising beef on an industrial scale is environmentally harmful (note the word industrial).

Yeah, I wasn't really offended, more like kind of amused. But I like the thread title. I have a friend that looks a lot like Bill Gates; I called him this morning and told him to shut the %$#*! up. Then I sent him the article. He called me back and told me he told himself to shut the #@$%$!%^ up lol.
