I’ve now seen the “would you eat lab-grown meat” poll twice, which means it is time to air one of my least charitable opinions—namely, I think imitation meat is an abomination. I could pretend this is for noble reasons (and I want to believe I have a couple in the mix) but truthfully its existence revolts and annoys me. It feels like a kind of hypocrisy; I mean, I’m sorry if you crave chicken wings for whatever reason? but you’re the one who gave up an omnivorous diet and refused to get creative with the foods left to you. Eat your cauliflower in buffalo sauce and shut up.

one of those tumblr posts that has stuck with me was something akin to “how much awesome food have we missed out on by trying to make nut/soy milk as similar to dairy milk as possible, instead of letting it be its own thing”

that’s the kind of stuff I could get behind! People going hogwild with tofu or vegetables in a totally unique, unreproducible-with-any-other-food-product way, rather than using beet juice to give fake meat a “bleed” factor.
