      Look, I'm inclined to agree they'll be shit, but I'd rather when companies introduce new niche shit like all this plant based bollocks, that they do deals like this, rather than just straight jump into charging an arm and a leg for the hipster tosspots who pay it without question anyway. New products should be given intro deals and promotions, regardless of the item, it's good when someone is confident enough in their product to offer it at a introductory discount, no?

      • lmao, guess OzB disagrees, new products shouldn't have intro runs and markdowns to lure you in. Pay full price full time I guess.

        dares to criticise

        Complaining about something you haven't even tried just for the sake of it, isn't criticising. It's trolling.

        I haven't seen a single comment saying "I've tried it, but it's shit". Because that would be actual criticism and most likely wouldn't get as many down votes.

  • +5

    I haven't tried this, but their vegan chicken was actually really good when they did that a few years ago (not sure what else they've done over the years). I'm not big on the plant-based meat products, but may be worth a try. I think the flavours help, but the texture was pretty good too.

    • I find almost any mince-alternative works well in tacos so long as you use taco seasoning while cooking it and salsa on the taco. Impossible is obviously best but tacos are more forgiving for some of the less tasty cheaper alternatives.

      Nutritional yeast also has a strong cheesy taste and is usually packed with Vitamin B12, so makes a decent alternative to cheese. Once you've packed everything else in, tacos are probably the easiest meal to go animal-free and low environmental impact for me without noticing a difference.

      For laziness I tend to go taco shell, cheap plant mince cooked with olive oil and taco mix, salsa, nutritional yeast, grated carrot (it just works so well), and mixed lettuces. Other veggies would probably be good too but I CBF doing much more than frying up the mince and grating a carrot most days.

      Most of us who don't eat meat didn't stop because we don't love the taste and recipes, we just don't want to hurt others for luxuries and contribute so heavily to climate change.

      Why insist on such ridiculous rules anybody should follow? What does it accomplish? It's like saying that those who don't want to buy textiles linked to the northern Chinese mass interment camps shouldn't wear any clothes at all. It makes no sense, there's no logical continuation of thoughts.

        Meat is not harming the planet. The people saying this rely on half truths and misinterpretations to get their point across.

        PS enjoy your vitamin B12 deficiencies

        • +1

          Just plain wrong. There are so many studies which have all overwhelmingly pointed to the same thing, cutting out meat is one of the best possible things you can do to reduce your environmental impact: https://www.bcg.com/publications/2022/combating-climate-cris…

          B12 is easy to get and fortified into a bunch of alternatives now. Why do the dregs of our species always suffer the delusion that they're insightful geniuses who are the only ones who know some basic fact, thinking they're blowing people's minds pointing out obvious things, and in such a race to get a high from telling non-meat eaters off?

          Do you panic this hard about the illnesses associated with eating various red meats? Or are you really just flailing against anybody who breaks the script you were raised to follow because you still don't yet know how to handle new and different ideas and address them on their merits?

          • @CodeExplode:

            illnesses associated with eating various red meats

            Does not exist. Or do you mean "I smashed down a medium coke, large chips, big mac and apple pie, felt crook, but blamed red meat because its the easiest scapegoat"

            Just plain wrong

            Ah yes a factory plant mass producing fake meat slop is so much better for the world than cows in a field. Yes 100%

            B12 is easy to get and

            …is naturally occurring in ANIMAL PRODUCTS! If they found a way to scientifically infuse vitamins and minerals into sawdust, would you be in favour of eating sawdust to "save the planet"?

            • +1

              @ParmiAndChips: 1.red meat is a carcinogen, but you likely don't believe the WHO.
              2.B12 isn't naturally occurring in ruminants, historically they got it from natural sources but now they are supplemented with it.

            • +1

              @ParmiAndChips: 304 diet reviews between 1950-2013 and the consensus was plants > flesh.

              The longest living civilisations on earth ate meat around once a month. I wouldn't conclude that it was the once a month consumption that was keeping them living.

              Beans are obviously better than fake meat slop but fake meat slop at least has some fibre and is less likely to have more cholesterol, trans fat, saturated fat, bioaccumulated toxins, TMAO and carcinogenic risk.

              Fake meat slop doesn't sit crammed up somewhere using up resources such as land, water, plant food and releasing carbon and methane in the atmosphere. They are also not subsidised by governments like real meat slop . I hope you equally slam the meat slop in a Mcdonald's burger

              The fact is that bacteria produce B12. As such, it becomes a simple question of - are you going to get B12 from the bacteria in isolation, or are you going to exploit and kill billions of animals just to get B12 from the bacteria within their bodies? In addition, a B12 supplement is injected into livestock to keep their levels up due to top soil being too intensively used and lacking in certain nutrients. So the choice becomes even more absurd - either take a B12 supplement, or give an animal a B12 supplement then kill them. Why take the second option?

        • Yeah when members of our species are sabotaging the rest of us out of sheer obnoxiousness for decades on end, and you lose everything in weather disasters which exceed all previous records, you might start to build a justified hatred of their obnoxious, ignorant one liners they jerk themselves off with as they imagine that they're tearing down established science with their lazy zero research.

          And then they jerk themselves off at how they frustrated others instead of being decent people. What failed human beings.

          • @CodeExplode: Keep going. I'm about to climax

          • @CodeExplode: Such a sad case. Go outside, the world is literally beautiful and you freaks keep saying the world is burning/freezing (it changes weekly due to your hormones). Wake up.

            • @KLoNe: Yeah those of us who've been through life changing natural disasters and see that they are increasing and worsening and don't stick our heads in sand when all the world's top scientists scream warnings that humanity's actions are going to make them dramatically worse and want to use our heads to change it sure are the problem, wouldn't want to intrude on your fantasy and lies that everything is a-ok.

              Some of you are so weak when it comes to the possibility of there being real problems or needing to change, and then in your weakness you call yourselves strong for living like cowards with your hands over your eyes.

    I'm not a vegan or even vegetarian, but am just interested in how technology and innovation can improve the world.

    I have made plant based tacos at home using IKEA plant based mince and TBH when all the spices are added you can't even tell the difference. Texturally it's not as firm, but taste wise it's pretty much identical.

    I assume this will be the same or better than what I concocted. That said I've never actually had Mad Mex, so if their normal tacos are shit, then this'll be shit also. GYG is life.

    • Wow! Sunflower oil and preservative mush, what an improvement to the world!
