Well I don't know why everyone has their panties in a wad over this. I am a red meat eater. I also love my veggies. What I cant get is why do they spend all the effort to take plants and veggies and turn them into meat. I am a farmer and cattleman. Let me tell you, my cows are really good at it. If you like it go for it. If you don't don't. Shoot sometimes I enjoy a veggie pizza.
That was actually the question in the op.
There have been some legit answers.
The only question remaining is if the companies pushing fake beef have made a profit.
