Meat-Free Meat

[JimMeade]

Well, I stopped be the local food COOP, which I refer to as the Communist Food Store because they peddle not only food but philosophy, and was enlightened to see a whole case of products such as the one labeled Meat-Free Meat.

Now, what is the definition of meat, and if it is meat free, how is it meat, by definition?

What kind of people want to eat unmeat?  That is, something that they say is not  meat but they call meat?  If you want to eat unmeat, why don't you eat tofu or spinach or kumquats?  Why tell yourself if it is not meat?

I'm confused.

The people that want to eat meat-free meat are probably the same ones screaming against GMO crops.

Jim - Interesting read, reminding me of the  '''' Whipped  Cream  ''' debate from back when ---

Now reading with interest the  '''ingredients ''''  of a  ''' container ''' of   kool  _ _ _ _ from the wife's  cashes of deep freeze items,  interesting to say the least / ?

Has nothing to do with the food...... It is all about image.

And   nothing says shallow and stupid like an overstated contradictory title.

Giving out samples of it at Costco yesterday, Supposed to be vegetarian burgers
Think it was just buggers
I was surprised at my wife's reaction to her taste of it,
I really thought she was going to spit it out on the floor.
