the lab grown meat thing is still so bizarre to me. Does meat actually taste good to people? I guess it must but it's always been disgusting to me.
Just give me a bean patty on my dumb american burger, it's fine and better than anything resembling meat
Meat is tasty, but a black bean burger piled high with fried onions, cheese and mayo is also a winner in my book.
yeah something must be wrong in my brain then. I can't consume meat without feeling gross and it's been like that since I was a child.
Eh, we're all a little different. I honestly. I like carbs and oils, myself. Pastas, breads, rice. Granted, I've been cutting down on that myself. It would be nice to see a world where meat consumption would be drastically down. Heck, I keep waffling about going pescatarian within a few years.
If you talk to people, there are a lot of folks who grew up hating meat and get used to it because their parents make them or because it’s so ubiquitous that your “alternative” meals are often “bread and a juice box”
I enjoy vegetarian and bean based items, but they don't taste like meat. Which makes sense since you don't like meat. Still, what you're portraying is a gross indifference(gross as in mass, not any judgement) to the fact that people have differences from your opinions/tastes.
I don't like the taste of: celery, blue cheese, pickles, some other pickled items, a lot of sweet stuff, tabasco sauce, surcalose, sweet coconut (I like savory coconut though) and a number of other edible items. Do I think it's crazy other people enjoy that stuff? No, because I realize other people exist, have different opinions, tastes, and priorities than I do.
My tastes do not make me superior to others; simply different. Stopped being shok0ed people aren't you. You are neither the only person to exist, nor are you more important than others who exist. You are you, and I am me. And they are them. I am also not more important than any other existence, and neither are they.
oh my tastes make me inferior. I wish I could be like everyone else and it's caused me immense distress my entire life
My apologies, I misinterpreted your tone. I didn't want to give anyone a sense of isolation, but rather an acceptance of inclusion. We're all weird in different ways, but we're all weird togther in different ways.
I've never had lab grown meat. I've had the normal sort of meat and I hate it, that's what I meant.
For me at least, there are very few foods that approach tasting as good as bacon or smoked beef.
