Avoiding Meat and Dairy is 'Single Biggest Way' to Reduce Your Impact on Earth

25. Funny thing about that is -- current vegans hate the meatiness of the new synthetics.

Beyond Meat makes a near-synthetic that's just too close for comfort -- I can't stomach it. Gardein's plant-protein meat substitutes have become my standard, just a thrilling flavor and texture -- and now I've lost my taste for anything close to the real thing.

I think it's great, synthetic meat. I'd love to see vat-grown beef and chicken take over the market; soon enough it'll be cheaper, tastier, and healthier than the hoofed version. I'd invest in Beyond Meat if I had extra cash.

But for vegans that have already made the transition -- the greasiness, the stringiness -- the things that will attract an actual carnivore -- I've come to find to be quite gross.

Odd.

Fake lumber, fake meat, and fake dairy are exciting and powerful tech that can save the world. I'm on board. I just started ahead of everyone else, and now I crave the not-so-realistic stuff that Gardein makes.

Gardein is the bomb. The gods of vegan meat. The Best. I worship at their altar.

Artisan's good, LiteLife is okay, but Gardein!! Damn!!
