    I might add health concerns to that list along with cost and taste. Allergens and sodium content, for instance. Also a concern about being “highly processed”.

    Not that that’s not an issue with animal-based foods. But Impossible is still “new and different” and if Impossible turned out to be terrible for you, it wouldn’t be the first time something new and different (even something new and different that was touted by some as being better for you) resulted in a public health crisis. (I’m referring to trans fats in particular here.)



  • Do they though? I think the one thing nearly every US American can agree on is that shit’s fucked. They all disagree on the cause or solution. (And half of people are high on fascist propaganda from FOX news or worse. And they’re the ones actively causing the worst problems in the country.) But I don’t think there’s any significant amount of people in the US thinking “yeah, this is how a country should be.” It’s just that some are like “we’re fucked because capitalism” and others are like “we’re fucked because we haven’t killed all the brown people yet”. (And even the ones who are a little less delusional, are throwing their hands up saying “too bad there’s nothing we can do about it”.)
