Was just at the grocery store the other day. They had a shelf full of impossible burger meat on sale for 50% off. Not a single package had been purchased.

Another example of how stupid the general population has become. These looney bin meatless cultists forget about all things that are killed to make chemical bombs. There is literally no nutritional components to this junk. But if some idiot celeb on social media hawks their plant diet people go flocking for the trash.
Red meat will raise your blood pressure and is bad for your heart!!!
Instead, I am going to eat this 1500x processed fake meat which is nutritionally inferior and taste like shit but at least I am saving the planet!!!
Humans achieved the top of the food chain and the reward was eating meat, birds and fish. We were built/genetically adapted for it. Carbs were a relatively recent addition to the human diet as a staple. Fake meat at best has no dietetic advantage over real meat. The real problem is sugar, whether it is fructose or sucrose. Everything in moderation but drinking a quart of regular soda and eating french fries is a recipe for type 2 diabetes. The belief that animal methane is destroying the world is beyond ludicrous. The same Vegans who believe that also believe that nuclear power is the devil.
I resemble that remark. I will admit to trying a Beyond Beef “burger” from a food truck. F’n horrible. As Ron Burgundy said, “milk was a bad idea”. That’s how I felt while gaging on it before giving up.
I've really wondered what's behind the rollout/push for the impossible meat stuff. I can't imagine that the wholesale rollout that I've seen is justified by the numbers/margins. Does McDonald's really sell that many impossible burgers? It seems like most of my vegetarian friends wouldn't eat at McD's if their lives depended on it. It doesn't seem like the average McD's coonsoomer gives one flying fuck about "not eating meat to stay healthy" in the first place. Who is buying this shit and if no one is then who is eating the shit sales numbers and to what other end?
It could just be another venture capital scam like the scooters littered everywhere but it sure seems to be pushed harder than that and with more corporate sponsorship/partners. I wonder if corporations receive a boost to their social credit score for selling this shit.

Get woke go broke. McD's is on its like 12th attempt at making an edible chicken sandwich. Took Popeye's one time. You make stuff to sell to your core customers. Like you said, vegans aren't ever setting foot in McDonalds. But when the CEO of McD's is at some Hollywood party and is bombarded with demands to have a vegetarian alternative, he could tell themselves to go phuck off or he could just ignore their ignorant requests. But NO ...
PS I'm the CEO of Coke and I have the most popular soda on the planet. Hey, why don't we phuck with the recipe to make it more like Pepsi. Geezus.

But if they take it off the shelves, the 5 people that buy it will find themselves on CNN lecturing Americans on vegan bigotry.
Pretty stupid business decision though. I'm willing to bet most vegetarians/vegans don't typically venture to fast food chains. Taco Bell removes the double decker, and now KFC does this? These CEO's are way overpaid. Not to mention, there's studies that show these impossible patties and slabs of fake meat are much worse for you than the actual meat products. But libs gonna lib.

As a basic rule, protein is protein, fat is fat, carbs are carbs and calories are calories. Margarine is generally made from soybean oil or palm oil and is not inherently better than beef or pork fat. What sucks is/was the addition of trans fat into margarine to firm it up. Trans fat is bad for you. Then toss in that a high carb diet makes you fat and diabetic. Meat and eggs are much better for you than pancakes and syrup.

Meanwhile mom and pop burger joints still have fat laden burgers and extra salt fries
McDonalds made the mistake years ago of listening to people who hate them, don't eat there, and want them out of business
