I can’t even.
I’ll let this guy say it for me regarding plant-based foods (see The Metaphysics of Plant-based Bacon)
Just one fun fact from the link:
4. Bacon is 86 percent cheaper than it was 100 years ago.
Fortunately I think this will be bust:
Today we are looking at the plant-based meat category. Spoiler alert: I find the plant-based meat category bland and uninspiring. And honestly, I think we can reasonably lay plant-based meat mania to rest in peace in the history books, right alongside 1990’s emu farming mania in the US.
Leaving only mockery in its wake. A Nightmare on Bowen Street
That was later the theme for a nightmare from which I woke in a cold sweat, dazed and confused, similar to the feeling when opening an ACC bill.
I was seemingly attending a function in Wellington entitled ‘the NZ Showcase of Incompetency’. Our fearless leader was to be keynote speaker, however her fiance had just tested positive to something and she was also in a Zoom call with Sri Lanka’s regulators on “how to destroy your farming sector and democracy within a 12-month timeframe”.
The dress code was a moko and cowboy hat or socks and sandals – with the theme for the night “A Smorgasbord of Socialism”. The canapés were an unpalatable mix of plant-based righteousness and laboratory-created confusion, the drinks trolley empty apart from “an optional selection of Three Waters” which upon entry we were all lined up and forced to consume.
Read the whole thing.
Also read, Are Vegetarians Twice as Depressed as Meat Eaters?:
To investigate the relationship between a meatless diet and depression among adults, a team of Brazil-based researchers gathered data from more than 14,000 people between the ages of 35 and 74 over a six-month period. They evaluated participants using the Clinical Interview Schedule-Revised instrument, a questionnaire that helps diagnose common mental disorders like depression and anxiety. “Depressive episodes are more prevalent in individuals who do not eat meat,” the authors concluded.
That chimes with my personal experience. Very dour people who don’t see much good in the world, although that may also be due to the 100% correlation with being Warmists and roughly 90% with being Leftists.

this is really long, but a good read on the challenges of lab-grown meat
Reading about plant-based food. I came across a plant based cheesecake at New World. Perfect for dairy intolerant folk. Tastes… just like traditional cheesecake. Brand is LILO. NZ product.
The vast majority of food is plant based. For example beef – it is plant based as cattle can only be nurtured on plants.Same for lambs and even pigs, which although omnivorous are fed with mostly plant-based fodder.
Hence the crack in the “primefuture” link about “plant-FED foods”. 🙂
Oh I dont know, us men could be in danger, they have thought ahead and have several cunning ways to enforce the new world order.
““That’s why PETA’s proposing a strike on sex with meat-eating men to persuade them to go vegan,” Waldman announced.
“Men need to take accountability for their actions,” she says. “And the easiest, healthiest, simplest way to do this is by going vegan.”
Ummmmm, she sounds like the sorta women you wouldnt want to have a xxxxxxx with anyway!
