A 4 Star Staff Sergeant Pilot with a Navy Cover fetish all because his hair is UnSat? I bet this one gets fed Fake Beef and it enjoys it. As if recruitment numbers aren't bad enough.

The wifey and I tried a couple of different versions of the fake meat when a bunch of the stuff went on sale for like 70% off a couple years ago. We figured, "Why not... let's see what the hype is all about."
Personal anecdotes-
1. It smells horrible while cooking- like, the first time we cooked it we did not want to eat the spaghetti sauce we made with it based on how it smelled while cooking it the same way we cooked ground beef.
2. It tastes similar to beef in spaghetti sauce, but we didn't find this out until after the cooking smell had cleared out.
3. Burgers also kind of taste the same, but the texture is off.
4. We prefer making bean burgers- our thought process is that if we're going meatless we'd rather season something to taste more of what it is than what it isn't. Bean burritos work. Fake meat bean burritos don't.
5. It's not worth the cost.
6. It really isn't any healthier.
7. Anything made with this stuff tastes better than the Veggie MRE option meals.
I understand the veggie folks who think that killing animals for any reason is wrong. I don't agree (I think more like the folks across the world who are thankful that a living being gave their life to sustain mine... but that's just, like, my opinion man).
I suppose there is a niche market for this stuff. To be honest, it wasn't that bad, but it's not good enough of a replacement for real meat, and it's not any healthier. So there are no reason for a meat eater to switch to it.
