Those are also LOADED in starch, and then people whine that "America is so FAT!!!!!". Is it just that you want them to stop eating meat, or you want them to eat healthy as well?

And as a big fan of Chesapeake Bay blue crabs I can tell you that "synthetic" or "imitation" crab doesn't taste anything like the real thing.

If it's well seasoned and well prepared, it can taste good. May not as good as the real thing, but it can taste good.

Knew a guy one time that said he would eat a meadow muffin if it had enough hot sauce on it....


Sounds like pretty much the same thing here.


Glad I was born an Omnivore so I could eat whatever I like, think I'll splurge and have some Prime Rib tonight.
I raised the beef that it came from, so I should be able to enjoy it as well, and I will.

As should everything. But as it is, the government (especially here in California) is subsidizing some things, tax-penalizing others...it just throws everything out of balance.

I watched this and found it very interesting. I found it interesting that cows produce more greenhouse gases than all the cars on earth.

i never commented on the taste of the imitation crab meat, only that right now there is no such thing as synthetic crab meat. as for the taste though, i do agree that there is no substitute for the real thing.
