I’m good, thanks. If I want a fake taco with little to no meat I can already go to Taco Bell.

Zingers aside, these new meat alternatives have way too much sodium in them.

Anyway, my stomach can’t take random concoctions, with secret ingredients. Not that the meat is any better, with all of the GMO’s in it. But, at least we know what’s in meat.

No hormones, no feces. (FDA allows a certain threshold of feces in meat).

thank you, I get tired of people acting like there’s no chemicals in animal flesh or milk. Carbon monoxide treatment, chloride, heterocyclic amines, and feces.

If someone were going to eat meat, I don’t think they would advocate eating the cheapest kind of meat.

There’s real meat that doesn’t have that junk in it, either.

There’s already far too much sodium in the meat taco. More sodium is not better.

Of course, if you put enough steak seasoning and taco seasoning on a baked potato, with gobs of oil… it will start to taste like meat. But, it’s still nowhere near healthy eating.

I guess even vegetarians have to take a break from eating healthy. So, as fast food, this makes sense… so long as we don’t try to characterize it as eating healthy.
