Beyond Impossible: Replacing Real Meat
The stated goal of one of the fake meat industry's major players, Impossible Meat, is to "replace animals in the food system."
Unless you've been living out in the wilderness, in a log cabin, thinking or reading by candlelight, enjoying the fresh air and spectacular views, fishing for and shooting your food, probably where we should all be living at this point, you will know about Beyond Meat and Impossible Meat. I haven't tried either.
I was in line at Costco awhile back when I noticed the guy ahead of me had some of it in his cart, so I asked him, "How is that stuff?"
"It's really good," he said, "You can hardly tell the difference."
"Seriously?" I asked.
"Yeah, it tastes great." He paused for a moment and then added, "I'm rep for them."
I'm not really sure why he let me know that bit of information. He didn't have to, but maybe he felt guilty and thought I should know his evaluation might be biased.
I don't care how good it tastes (I seriously doubt it tastes better than the real thing)...I will never buy or eat any of that crap.
The New York Times, that bastion of truth and reliable information, published an article updated on December 2, 2020, entitled: "Fake Meat vs. Real Meat." I know 2020 seems like a lifetime ago, but there were some interesting bits of misinformation in the article. I know that's hard to grapple with since the NYT has been so damn reliable about all information it has reported since 2016. I myself and several other of my selves who identify as male, male, male and male are still reeling from this revelation.
The meat industry, the real meat industry, criticized these fake meats as "ultra-processed imitations", "highly processed" and no better than meat. Impossible Meat responded:
The new “disinformation” campaign, they say, is a sign that Impossible Foods’ mission — to disrupt the meat industry and replace animals in the food system — is working.[emphasis mine]
Makes it a little easier to understand why the Netherlands wants to close 3,000 farms. Replace animals?
Here's my other favorite sentence:
Compared to a beef patty, the Impossible and Beyond burgers have similar amounts of protein and calories, with less saturated fat and no cholesterol.[emphasis mine]
If you haven't been looking into this what I am about to say next is going to shock you: you need saturated fats and cholesterol. The video below is long but well worth the watch.
The food industry has been lying to us longer than pharmaceutical industry has.
The article ends with these inspiring words from the CEO of Impossible Meats:
If you’re hungry for a burger and you want something that’s better for you and better for the planet that delivers everything you want from a burger, then this is a great product.
No. No it's not. Here's an ingredient list for Impossible Meat (Beyond Meat is similar):
Water [that's probably okay]
Soy Protein Concentrate
Coconut Oil
Sunflower Oil [see the above video regarding seed oils]
Natural Flavors [best to stay away from food with "Natural Flavors"]
Potato Protein
Methylcellulose
Yeast Extract
Cultured Dextrose
Food Starch Modified
Soy Leghemoglobin
Salt
Soy Protein Isolate
Mixed Tocopherols
Zinc Gluconate
Thiamine Hydrochloride
Sodium Ascorbate
Niacin
Pyridoxine Hydrochloride
Riboflavin
Vitamin B12
mRNA Vaccine [JUST KIDDING!!!! Maybe "Coming Soon" would be appropriate?]
As as afterthought they add "Gluten Free." Well, if it's gluten free, I'm all in!
I don't know what half that stuff is and I don't care. As a general rule of thumb, the more ingredients something has the worse it is for you and if it is not made by nature, it's not nearly as good for you as something that is.
Now let's look at the ingredients of real beef, preferably grass fed:
Beef
Fire up the grill. It's time for a steak.

This article also appears on my website, The Asylum. The website also has several things that are not possible to do on Substack: The World Economic Forum Members Reference (thanks to Dr. Malone), Red State/Blue State reference showing Senate and House percentages by party affiliation, quotes, a large resources section, a robust search feature and some other things unique to the site: quizzes, word games and leaked communications. These latter three are satirical and funny, at least in my mind, but you'll have to be the ultimate judge on that.
I can't think of anyone in their right mind that would voluntarily put that shit in their mouths., let alone ingest it... maybe the soy-boy crowd and transgender freaks whose lifestyles and sense of identity depend on the NWO, WEF, ESG, ABCDEFG... but I digress... at times I'm grateful for my age being such that there isn't too much time left for me to have to put up with this utter stupidity... and at other times I pray that there are enough of us against this nonsense to put an end to what's happening while I am still able to hold a steady point of aim.
Pig. Hog. Sow. Piglet.
Sos Scrufa or Sos Domestica.
The Superior Meat.
Eats virtually anything. Do not get the diseases cows get. Can and will defend against predators. Can live outdoors all year round even North of 60. Friendly, clean and sturdy.
Oh, and if one worries about climax change, I mean climate change? Pigs are magnitudes superior when it comes to that too.
Not to mention that it is a holy animal; Frej himself rode to battle on Gyllenborst (Goldenbristles) and the Rye Hog guards your fields at night.
Want to 'pig out' witout the gout? Go whole hog!
