What went wrong for Vegan Technology? It was meant to revolutionise the world from meat to materials to computers

the other day i saw a "vegan ice cream" place and got really upset because nigga thats just sorbet. why would i want retarded synthetic milk solids that taste like plastic when sorbet is the superior ice treat anyway and naturally contains no animal products and "vegan sherbert" (sorbet with cream, maybe egg) would be more appropriate to mask how dogshit non-dairy "milk" is (could probably get away with just adding Water Thickener to sorbet and dying it differently tbqh)

It tastes bad and too much onions is bad for you. You're also going to accumulate more pesticides in your body unless you can afford to buy everything organic. Basically it ended up being a fake health scam.

vegan isn't really bad in and of itself. eating beans, rice, vegetables, etc. is extremely healthy for you. the problem is that Beyond and other "technology" companies are the food equivalent of plastic. i don't mean in taste i mean, your body doesn't know what to do with it and treats it as plastic. i feel worse eating vegan alternatives to burgers than i do eating a burger.

however, i feel much better having a can of black beans than i do eating a burger

I'll never understand the fixation on creating something meat-like. Just appreciate plant foods for what they are, and make food that celebrates their flavors and textures, rather than contorting them into some abomination that will never be anything like the thing it's mimicking. What really grinds my gears is that you used to be able to buy vegan burgers and sausages and whatnot that didn't hide that they were made from plants, they were just plants made into a particular form factor, and they had so much more flavor and better texture than anything trying to be meat. I don't eat very much that I don't make myself these days, but I do miss those things occasionally, and I'm sad that other people also can't have them now, thanks to those beyond faggots.

well, that stuff like black bean burgers didn't sell as well. people love to buy into the memes. it's a scam like everything else. some people legit think starbucks is healthier than other fast food drinks

I've had it before because it was on sale at my supermarket, and I was shocked how real it tasted, so I idiotically went back and stocked up because it was so cheap. After a couple days I could no longer eat it anymore as it hurt my stomach and started to taste very bland; I guess my body adapted and began to reject it?

>I guess my body adapted and began to reject it?
yeah that's often the thing with these vegan foods
taste and feeling in the moment are really inconsequential. the effects to gut health, vitality, etc. aren't felt until the "nutrients" from that food enter your system or fail to enter your system.
think about how meat takes 24+ hours to digest.

No idea how they managed to create something unhealthier than the fattiest, cheapest meat on earth out of plants, but they did it.
And it tastes terrible, too.

Can't we just grow brainless cows? We have the technology.

Examine their stock, it has nearly the same trajectory as Ramaswamy's fake pharma stock scam.
***Whether they ever made money from making fake-meat burgers wasn't the point, at all*** - all these assholes cashed out their stock for money and are gone, until the next scam.

unironically trying to 'fight' meat by replicating it. i remember early pseudo-meats like the old bean burgers and they weren't bad and looking at the ingredient list weren't nearly as awful as beyondmeat which is basically just 15 different kinds of chemically rearranged goybeans.

lab meat will never be anything but a boutique product and it doesn't appeal to vegans anyways. but veganism is arbitrary.
most vegans reject honey due to bee rape and bee slavery while having no problem with organic foods grown with 'all natural' pesticides.
i've seen multiple vegans arguing that human flesh is the only ethical meat because only humans could give informed consent to being eaten.
pursuing vegans as your target demographic for a mass market product will never work. you have to focus on making something that's actually good that also meets vegan standards. Oreos are vegan if you don't consider 'cross contamination' risk to be a major worry, for example.

Why grow them? They already exist on Onlyfans and Tiktok

There are no studies on vegan diets being beneficial. There are vegetarian studies, but they're not obviously the same. Most people claiming to be vegans aren't even strict vegans. The hardcore vegans are all malnourished and have health problems.

Holy shit just eat rice and beans and stop shitting up the market with soi frankenstein shit.

Vegetarians who don't eat dairy or eggs are retarded, Jains eat eggs and drink milk, are you dumber than an Indian?

Now there's a winning slogan, lol

Insane that these people aren't immediately dismissed as insane. Utilitarian ethics were a giant mistake.

Veganism is a retarded ideology.
It's worse on all the metrics it claims to be better.
