I blame the Almond Milk people. It’s not milk by any definition. It looks like milk but then so does White Out, Liquid White, a wide range of paints and detergents and things you’d never drink as well as at least one Polyacrylamide Anionic Emulsion Sewage Water Treatment.
Looking like something has become an excuse for calling it that in direct opposition to the gender culture, which obsesses over not assuming a thing is what it appears to be.
Mostly the same crowd and the results look the same, or did I mean different?
The impossible burger is impossible to justify given the amount of stuff and processes it takes to make one. It has a carbon footprint that is probably greater than that resulting from consuming a similar quantity of beef.
So-called reusable bags are a lot worse for the environment, but those are still popular, and with non-meat “meat” being a thing, why not chickenless chicken?
Kentucky Fried Chicken created a nugget made out of plants and shaped like a nugget that is beyond chicken. In other words, it’s not chicken, but it is shaped like chicken nuggets and is meant to taste like chicken.
Cue sinister cackle.
I have no idea what’s in it, but I bet it is a complex collection of chemicals and some plant matter that makes it is a lot more dangerous for the planet than the process of turning actual chickens into nuggets, so don’t be fooled by the green packaging.
Chicken less chicken is less cruel, you say.
If that concerns you, buy the plant nuggets, but KFC offers them with a disclaimer. They are fried in the same oil as their world-famous chicken, so if that sets off a proximity alert, you’ll have to take a pass.
The plant-based non-chicken chicken nuggets are not for vegans or vegetarians.
So, why would you go to a chicken joint to not get chicken? I guess for the same reason you’d go to a burger joint and buy a veggie patty sandwich. You’re not pro-meat, but you are okay with funding an enterprise centered on converting animal flesh into profits.
You might as well stay home and milk almonds. Good luck with that though, the teats are tiny, and I’m led to believe the almonds don’t like being handled that way.
