I tried some vegetarian beef, a sample at the grocery store.

It was good.

It's when someone makes outlandish claims or innuendos, that it bugs me.

Mike "Natural News" Adams claims eating meat causes autism.
(He says that about vaccines too.)

The woman serving the "meat" at the store said the product was better nutrition than actual meat, and did not cause cancer.
