@kureshii @nindokag I'm very conflicted on this. I love meat, but I must recognize meat based foodening is unsustainable. And the idea of artificial meat creeps me out. But when I tried veggie stuff in the past, it was miserable. It was either so bleh I just skipped meals, or tasty in an unsatisfying way that made me keet eating continuously until I was about to puke.
@kureshii i'd rather eat tastier veggie dishes, too. i think Indian cuisine has the right idea - vegetables and spices can be the main event, there's no need to "replace" anything.
i don't really miss meat; what i would miss most if i went full vegan would be cheese and seafood.
this is one of those "I want it to be good for other people" things. Like, I want electric cars to be good and cheap so other people will drive them; i'm taking the train.
@nindokag That said I'd be keen to try Impossible least once just to see what it tastes like. But I'd rather see more research go into tastier veggie dishes.
Figuring out how to make a meat replacement that's indistinguishable from the real thing is, to me, kinda like making AI pass the Turing Test. As a goal in itself, it's not very interesting, thought it can tell you much about people.
