Don’t worry, A&W will stay by their side. No matter what happens, you will always be able to get an Impossible Burger from A&W!
“(When the anti-GMO people show up to protest the vegans, you don’t pick a side…)” That right there, is the number one rule to live by in this age of universal deceit.
When the feminists show up to protest the transgender, … .
When the wine moms show up to protest the school board, … .
When BLM shows up to protest vaccination mandates, … .
Anyone who eats that fake meat crap so they can virtue signal deserve all the nasty side effects they get. Because it’s all about virtue signaling, and virtue signalers are the absolutely worst human beings on the planet.
“…virtue signalers are the absolutely worst human beings on the planet.”
Agreed, and they come on all sides of the spectrum.
They are like Donald Sutherland in “Invasion of the Body Snatchers”, always ready to point their fingers and howl at complete strangers.
Answering the age old question of what makes a veggie burger bleed red? Why it’s Soy leghemoglobin of course.
Spending millions promoting one food group over another yet always on the hunt to make it taste and look like the one they want replaced.
Weird.

Well hell, there’s your problem right there.
I thought it was agreed that all animal testing would now be supplanted by vegans.
As to the quote.. “When the anti-GMO people show up to protest the vegans, you don’t pick a side…”
The same goes for socialists of any kind.
I’ve actually eaten the product, in burgers, three times. I was underwhelmed, and haven’t ordered an “Impossible” burger for several years now. Ground beef’s just fine.
“When the anti-GMO people show up to protest the vegans, you don’t pick a side…”
true, but you can sit on the sidelines and encourage both sides to focus on the other, (and on occasion throw a hypocrisy bomb at the leading side, to help balance out the battle)
Your concept is good but you forget that leftists are immune to hypocrisy bombs. They actually feed on them.
Like I’ve been saying for years, since the whole purpose of these peoples’ lives is to find adversaries and persecute them, sooner or later they turn on those who had been their allies. Their tears are ambrosia to me. 🙂
It’s not true all vegans are smelly, anemic and obnoxious, cattle are vegan and they are terrific. Turning grass into burgers is their specialty.
The Australia/New Zealand food regulator FSANZ has already approved the processing aid – GM soy leghemoglobin (SLH) – that Impossible will add (at 0.8% so it isn’t labelled) to make its product look and feel as though it is bleeding, like real meat.
Smh. I find it utterly amazing that people who purport to be highly sophisticated purveyors of the REAL truth are as really so STUPID. Blood in meat? Like “real meat”? The stupid is so bad it hurts.
Pro tip: the red liquid associated with RED meat is a muscle protein called myoglobin. Not “blood”. Why do I get the impression that none of these so-called experts have ever killed the animal they ate … and know nothing about how to field dress (or factory dress) an animal.

How the Weedkiller Glyphosate Is Destroying Our Health and the Environment
Now let’s see the article(s) showing how glyphosate, aside from being harmless to non-plants & being one of the oldest- and most-studied industrial chemicals known to man, has increased agricultural productivity enormously and better enabled the feeding of billions of hungry humans.
“Over 80% of genetically modified (GM) crops grown worldwide are engineered to tolerate being sprayed with glyphosate herbicides. GM glyphosate-tolerant crops have led to a 239 million kilogram (527 million pound) increase in herbicide use in the US between 1996 and 2011, compared with the amount that would have been used if the same acres had been planted to non-GM crops. People and animals that eat GM glyphosate-tolerant crops are eating potentially high levels of Roundup residues.”
…
“But this is not the way things turned out. Weeds have quickly become resistant to glyphosate herbicide through a process called selection pressure, in which only those weeds that tolerate the herbicide survive to pass on their genes. The resulting epidemic of glyphosate-resistant “superweeds” has caused huge problems for farmers in countries where glyphosate-tolerant crops are widely planted.”

Were you in on the BPA ban, too? Into putting plastic into the schedule 1 toxin list?
chelseagreen are radical greenies, progressives, if you will, according to…themselves.
detoxproject.org belongs to a Bulgarian company called Henstar PLC, who bill themselves as “a top environmental public relations company with an expertise in Regenerative Agriculture.”
Both of your sources are hopelessly compromised.
Like I thought. You’re spouting drivel. How about something from a real scientific publication? IE., not from Mother Jones, Common(ist) Ground, etc.?
Lamb, part of would like to think Monsanto couldn’t have got such a bad rep for nothing, but then I remember that the Proud Boys are considered “terrorists.”
We are being lied to on an industrial scale.
FYI, what you are encountering is Monsanto Derangement Syndrome. This is a religious argument, and devoid of facts.
From long experience, I know that trying to engage on any level, with derangement syndrome, is pointless. Facts do not matter, never have, never will. Glyphosate is the cause of all human diseases, this is the central tenant of the faith. There was no disease in any human population before the invention of glyphosate. etc., etc., etc..
I heard Monsanto would send their lawyers about to sue folk whose crops get fertilized by their GMO corn. Of course, that was from the MSM, so I took it with a grain of salt. It seems to me that if one’s crops were fertilized by some GMO pollen without one’s consent, then one would have a pretty strong case, so I’m unsure of what the facts of the matter are.
No Frills was trying to sell this crap the other day.
Vegans and their ilk = Don’t support a carnivorous diet.
BUT
Vegans and their ilk = Want to eat a product that looks and tastes exactly how a carnivorous diet looks.
The fact that Bill Gates is behind this lab mud is enough to stop me from EVER wanting to even try that crap.
The fact that he’s buying as much farmland as possible, shutting down the ops, to promote his lab mud.
The fact that now testing is showing medical problems in lab rats, is really no surprise.
The fact that Gates is evil is no surprise either.
However, the thought has now just occurred, that I’m sure there are some enterprising scientists that are thinking that lab rats might be another alternative to beef. At least it’s real meat, right? = yuk, gag, ugh!
Kind of like trying survive by eating rabbits. Can’t be done.
So true. Hunted them years ago as kind of a wild game supplement. But you’d be hard pressed to live off of them if you had to.
Same goes for moose, and other very lean meats. You can starve to death eating them.
Still, they have protein, and if you also eat some carbs and fats with it, you’ll be OK, as far as caloric intake is concerned.
If I could put this out in my backyard without the dog eating it I wouldn’t have to trap or shoot the rats anymore.
Its not just this product of Fake Meat stuff causing problems.
All vegans will suffer from anemia, sooner or later, and a host of other maladies, mainly intestinal issues, dermatitis, etc, brought about by their ideological diet.
Essentially, vegans become malnourished, given the time. Its not just missing iron, but many nutrients that they lack acquiring, through the eating of delicious, scrumptious, animal protein, in all its wonderful connotations and preparations.
My daughter and her husband (vegetarians) recently served me a Beyond burger (competitor to Impossible). I ate 2/3 of it out of politeness, but could not finish it.
Meanwhile, my wife found some vegi-burgers made from black beans, qinoa, and peppers. There is no attempt to make them taste like meat, they are simply formed into burger-sized disks. These are not too bad. I will occaisionally pop one in the microwave to sate my mid-afternoon munchies.
The point being, don’t try to make stuff taste like what it ain’t. Vegetables are tastey on their own. Of course, I’m not giving up real cows.
Best thing to do is eat vegetarians.
When TSHTF, ther’ll be lots of tender, grain-fed urbanites to be had.
Pop-up Long Pig BBQ!

I don’t have a problem with GMO food. I do take issue with refusing to label your food as such, and refusal to say exactly what gene(s) from what organism(s) is put into it; I mean we should be told the entire genome. Refusal to provide the consumer with detailed information is a sign of bad faith, denies the consumer his informed consent, and any company that does that kind of thing should be boycotted, or worse.
All these plant based products need more land cultivated. Hence, more wildlife habitat must be rendered unfit for many species of flora and fauna. Cows on the land are no different from the bison that used to roam in very large herds.
The zoophiles are doing more to kill Mother Gaia and its critters than normal people.
Untrue. Look up trophic levels. In general, you can get 10 times as many calories/acre from plants than from herbivores.
The worst thing for the environment is an Environmentalist
Tell me about it.
I’ve spent a number of aggravating hours at the house I inherited because of B. C.’s environmental regulations. Part of my inheritance included a number of miscellaneous leftover shop chemicals. Trying to legally dispose of it has given me all manner of grief and, had any of my neighbours listened in while I was in the garage last week, they would have learned some new swear words.
Everything has to be in its original container and have the original label on it. Yeah, right. Much of what I have was likely solvents my father used to clean brushes and metal parts. He’d pour some into a jar, use it, put it on a shelf when done, and then forget where he put it. (You can figure out where that’s going.)
Ah, but some of the stuff I inherited gathered dust for 50 or more years. Labels have faded and, often, the stuff’s not in the original container.
Oh, no problem, the B. C. government tells me. Just dump it on Kitty Litter, bag it and chuck it into the dustbin. Uh-huh….. Last week I went through more than 40 kg of the stuff and I still have lots of leftover stuff.
Besides, not everything’s compatible with KL. I’ve got two bottles of what I’m pretty sure is acid. Yeah, I’m going to pour that on the gunk…..
One of the problems I’m dealing with is that people can’t see beyond the regulations. If it looks like paint, smells like paint, pours and flows like paint, it’s got to be dessert topping, right?
I likely won’t be done settling my father’s estate and putting the house on the market until next spring. I wonder why……
L – When someone virtue signals that they are a vegetarian.
Me – I can identify with that.
Vegematic: Are you a vegetarian, too?
Me- Sure, on some days up to 5-10 percent.
If ever a vegetarian invites you to dinner, be sure to explain that you’re on a strict diet of fillet-mignon steak, caviar, pate-de-fois gras au cognac, and truffles. If he whines, tell him you’re willing to exchange the fillet-mignon for duck a l’orange, just this once.
I enjoy a plant-based diet, but I insist on having it processed naturally and sans additives; i.e., through a cow, pig, or other animal.
Maybe they can do like Pfizer and get an Emergency Use Authorization for it.
