Food News of the Week: Meatless Wagyu, Gobbler Sandwiches, and How to Cook Like Jimmy Fallon
From Jimmy Fallon’s cooking spices to new meatless wagyu from South Korea, we’re serving up the best in food news of the week.
Is "meatless" safe? Or is it just another pile of things to avoid.
I am vegan flex... haven't had meat for 3 years now but if I was going to die I would regrettably eat some. But isn't that the whole problem? Like why are companies focusing on making things that look like meat for vegans to eat?
Why not discover the next tofu... something completely different that is also food that is good for you?
Anyway, I hope they don't forget that we all know that processed food is bad for you. In many ways actually. For example, it will have micro plastics. Another example is contact with chrome, copper, etc parts in the machines. Sure, if the pH is neutral maybe you're ok, otherwise there will be transfer of heavy metals on to the food....one assumes. Stainless steel has chrome in it and it's the preferred material for stuff that processes food.
I am vegan flex
No, you're vegetarian. You have no right to call yourself vegan unless you completely abstain from all animal products for ethics that includes honey. You're not going to end up on the hypothetical island with not much to eat.
Like why are companies focusing on making things that look like meat for vegans to eat?
Because they want to have vegan alternatives available for every food so we do not lose culture or taste. I want to see all the traditionally meat dishes from Nunavut made with plant-based ingredients.

Not all processed foods are created equally as some can use clean ingredients like Torfurky. There was a lot of fear mongering about vegan alternatives being less healthy in the mainstream media as they have conflict of interest with animal agriculture. It actually turns out that vegan alternatives are often healthier.
I mean, I eat lettuce and beans and tortillas every other day. I'm surviving pretty good. Add some oatmeal in the morning and oat milk at night. Oat milk is basically processed food too but I mean it can be done just blending it .... chrome on the blades of the blender. But it looks traditional to me. I've been eating beans most of my life. I got no need for some thing made of beans that tastes weird so it can remind me of meat. However, lol like oat milk, maybe the fake chicken and beef should just have a different name. I like for example the fake chicken nuggets but I thought the whole Vegan thing was about not murdering the little bastards. Why not call it plant nuggets? Like walk away from the entire murder thing and come up with alternatives. Like when I see a lemon 🍋, I know what it tastes like. If I see a fake lemon and doesn't taste like lemon, then it sucks. But there's a ton of different citrus that are not lemon which are called totally differently than people like them... Mandarin, calamanci, orange, grape fruit, etc. each has their flavour. So chicken, beef, tofu, protein bar?
