re: Just watched the new KFC commercial Beyond Chicken!

A few lines from a New York Post review.

KFC’s new fake chicken nuggets are really gross

But this bogus bird would not fool a 7-month-old experiencing solid food for the first time.

I wanted to taste the thing separate from the hype — and from the oily, over-seasoned, “eleven-spiced” breading that scorched my tongue like a blowtorch. After some work, I managed to extract the miserly, vegan morsel that seemed glued inside its nugget. Once freed, the spongy, solid matter did not taste remotely like real chicken, much of which doesn’t actually taste like chicken these days, thanks to factory farming and antibiotics.

It also didn’t taste like something experts have spent two years developing. It tasted like seitan, the wheat-based gluten bomb that for decades has been a go-to among vegetarians as a meat substitute.

Which is to say: It tasted like nothing.

Yes, there was mouth feel — the salty, crisp-and-mush blur that’s soothing when you’re the last customer in the bar at 2 a.m. But the ersatz nuggets aren’t anything you’d want to consume sober or in daylight.

I was shocked at the fake meat offerings at Sams yesterday. Very in your face. I can't imagine buying real meat at Sams, much less fake.

The Colonel is rolling in his grave. I am old enough to remember when Kentucky Fried Chicken was good. The Colonel would visit franchisees and give them hell if the food wasn't up to standards.

I really hated the line of commercials making him look like an old fool. He was a good old man that gave millions to charity and was sincere in wanting the product bearing his name to be good.

It was Kentucky Fried Chicken with the Colonel to emphasize it was fried chicken from the south. (Even if the Colonel was born in Indiana). Now, I guess I'm glad the Kentucky name is out of it. I don't want this state associated with this crap.

This right here. They want meat, they crave meat, so they're gonna pretend they're eating it.

And go look at the meat substitute ingredients, they're only marginally more healthy than real meat. It's insanity.

Vegan MRE’s will become a thing.

Stop eating fast food.

I actually went this morning and they definitely had big packs of impossible shite in your face but barely had an actual ground beef selection.

They did have some of the pre made Pattie’s but it was sirloin and $8 for two Pattie’s.
