Bill Gates Frankinmeat.
🤢🤮🤧
none of those looked good, nor did it look like the chef was enthusiastic about it on the first bite. I’m shocked he said it all tasted well lol
Garbage food…
It’s all fine and good that you said they tasted okay, but did they taste at all like what they were supposed to be a replacement for? I would eat plant-based meat alternatives if they actually tasted like the meat they are replacing.
I wonder how many ingredients are in it and how many of them not sustainable for human consumption!
Well, being a meat eater… I really want these products to be good and be competitive in price (which they are not atm, it’s all a marketing hype to rake in cash). I don’t see why I shouldn’t eat less meat, if there’s a good alternative. (i grew up with quorn in the 90s, which was basically cardboard).
Funny how you never see anyone trying to imitate vegetables with meat.
Why don’t vegans quit the BS?
Only one question I have. Why person who is Vegan/Veterian who DOES NOT eat meat products or anything comes from anymals what to have something that looks like meat? Eat your grass FFS!
Nasty
i wouldnt feed that to my dog
You can have it all enjoy, I’ll skip supper 🤮🤮🤮🤮
The horror, the horror.
nope
I eat only meat and low carb vegetables. My daily breakfast is eggs and bacon. Real meat and real bacon. I get a full blood work up three times a year. I am above average healthy since I gave up eating carbs with my meats and fats. Low T, high bad cholesterol, high BP, it was all because of the carbs. I am so much healthier than my stubborn vegan friends it’s not funny. The science is there. This vegan industry is a scam. Try my diet for nine months with a blood test every three months, and you’ll never go vegan or back to carbs. Blood tests don’t lie, only marketing people selling vegan foods lie.
I love my vegetables , with a bloody steak , if your a vego and need to pretend to eat meat you’ll turn back to the real thing eventually , guaranteed Hahahahah
like this guy
Yum synthetic food, I’m sure that’s healthier & tastier then the real thing NOT!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
What’s the point of making vegetables look like meat anyways? 😑
Plant based means eating only plants. Pseudo meats are junk food and totally unnecessary.
Everything looks so dry
I’m not vegan or vegetarian however I’m stunned the lack of vegetables ingredients in these products. Grain usage is okay however I think it would’ve been more ideal to list… sauteed cabbage, well-seasoned roasted cauliflower, carrots, mushrooms, potatoes etc.
I’ve never understood why people repulsed by the idea of eating meat want plants to look & taste like meat. Chef — good on you for putting this video together. Thank you.
💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩
Why am I not surprised he liked everything. It would be a better test if after the food was cooked he has a regular person on the street taste the food and give their opinion.
I won’t eat this garbage, bugs either for that matter. I would rather eat soylent green!
Why would you need to temp check a plant based piece of phicken ? It’s not gonna mater if you eat it raw there’s no salmonella…no meat, no skin, no blood
Wonder how much the “chef” was compensated by the G foundation to promote that stuff.
Well being a- yeah I don’t really care about meat or plant based diet. Insect Diet is the future, it would be extremely educational if you could spotlight some recipe featuring Insects or something with insect incorporated into it.

Hhahaha burned it, had to do it again.
F🤬🤬k plant based meat. 👎🏾
This chef knows this stuff is nasty.😂
I originally tried vegan after several members of my family died within 5 years of one another and my physician couldn’t explain the abnormal bilirubin levels most of my siblings and I carry. I definitely am okay with the idea eating meat can help keep natural ecosystems in balance. I’m also okay that my liver function, blood pressure, pre-diabetes approaches normal when I have eaten whole foods plant based (subset of vegan eating) for several months among other things. Except for the sodium in most of these convenience foods CNET presented, they allow me to bring food to family gatherings and not feel completely left out. I clearly know I’m not eating steak, for example, but I in no way feel deprived with the choice of food on my plate. As one sibling said to another, “Which would you rather have, a live brother [eating his vegan ‘xxxx’] or to know you served him his last animal based meal and you took pride in his eating it before he died?”
IDK If it needs a lab to create is it that much healthier than the real thing? I am by no means a vegetarian, but anything plant-based that I can’t replicate in my kitchen is a no-go.
what Bill Gates want’s people to eat
Vegetarianism needs to stop, it’s a mental health disorder.
None of them were bad? Really?
That bacon looks more unhealthy than real bacon…
they have a long way to go to get the taste, texture, color, and smell of these fake meat to be even close to the real thing.
Thank you for making this video. I found it to be informative and quite helpful!
