The same plants used to feed the animals.

The soy used for the meat sub is the same soy used to feed animals.

Why is there such a disconnect with our food?


Why the need to over process and add potentially hazardous chemicals, then call it food.


The food industry does that with animal products, as well.

Re: KFC Beyond Fried Chicken

If an animal or a human eats soybeans they do not become a soybean.  Our body works with the fuel we give it through the digestive process.

I think this "substitute meat stuff" is as creepy as the KFC commercials.....

Not sure if I understand your post.

My interpretation:

 

Animals eat soybeans.

Humans eat soybeans & products made of soybeans.

People think the animal muscle is different than the meat alternative.

Once the meat is purchased, it’s cooked with oils, sodium & spices..

just like the processed meat alternatives....sometimes worse

with a lot more chemicals, sodium & fat. 

 

Yes, our bodies are miracles considering it does process anything

we give it as fuel...but ‘working with’?

No so much.

The body will struggle w/ the inflammation of ingested

animal products/byproducts.  Soy doesn’t have that same

affect on the human body.

You may want to investigate a little further as to what is included in some these meat alternatives.  It is not just oils, sodium and spices, truly eye opening as to what some want us to believe is healthy.

Someday, when scientists discover the center of the Universe....some people will be disappointed it is not them.

Re: KFC Beyond Fried Chicken

Anytime I see the word “meat” it is a red flag for me. It seems to mean a substance that is supposed to look and taste like beef or chicken, but they don’t want you to actually know what is in it. I’m guessing fake everything, ground up and processed into pellets, patties, or God help us all, shoes like chicken parts. 😳

Re: KFC Beyond Fried Chicken

Is KFC still going to sell real chicken also? The fake chicken will hurt sales on both sides I think. How will you ever know exactly what you are being served? They’re done.

Re: KFC Beyond Fried Chicken

Neil Barnard?

president of the PETA-linked “Physicians Committee” for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), which gets most of its funding from a single wealthy animal-rights activist in Florida. Barnard, who has called cheese “dairy crack” and tried to sue milk companies for causing “pain and suffering” to lactose intolerant Americans, predictably railed against non-PETA-approved diets.

 

He truly is a hack for PETA. His diet advice for diabetics could put them in a coma with all the carbohydrates in it.

 

As far as this fake chicken....it will be fried in the SAME fryer as the fryer used for chicken. So much for a plant based diet. LOL
