From what I can gather, people in the AR groups were surprised by this effort by KFC. There have been so many protests at KFC and other fast food companies over the years. MorningStar Farms has some pretty good fake chicken patties and chicken nuggets but the problem with many of their products has been that they still contain eggs. All of that is changing soon:
MORNINGSTAR FARMS GOES VEGAN, SPARING 300 MILLION EGGS ANNUALLY
The Kellogg’s-owned veggie brand debuts a vegan “Cheezeburger” to kick off its journey to becoming 100-percent vegan in the next three years.

It doesn't surprise me after the success of the Impossible Whopper.
BK went first, demonstrated that there's demand and is reaping the rewards.
Where there's an untapped market and a profit to be made, others are bound to follow.
KFC's the next to jump in, but they won't be the last.
I was having a discussion with some vegans over in the vegan forum. They are all raving about the BK impossible hamburger. I think it's hypocritical for them to eat fake meat and it's not a "veggie" burger. It represents food from dead animals which they are all against, yes it's made from plants if you can call it that, but it mimics meat. Not knocking veganism but I am knocking fake meat. Stick to the veggies.
This are the impossible burger ingredients. Can you call this "plants"?

Yeah, but how does it taste?
I'm sure vegans appreciate a little "diversity" as much as the next person.
I know I like it when someone introduces a good tasting low carb thing that I couldn't eat before.
So what's the difference, really?
Look at it this way...
If I were married to a vegan, I'd eat it because I like meat and eating meat offends her. Eating this doesn't.
I don't think there's anything wrong with that. It's called being considerate.
My go to foods - rice, beans, dreamfields pasta, chicken, beef, broccoli, carrots, fruit, 100 chocolate bar, daily frozen ice cream treat (100 calories or less). As For veganism while i enjoy vegetables and eat many servings, I simply prefer to eat meat, usually twice a day.

The difference is that it's about an idea, a perception or whatever you want to call it, of killing animals to eat.
I certainly do not want to get political here, not the place for it.
I am trying to think of an analogy.
Let's say that you had, god forbid, a relative that was murdered by someone with a gun.
Would you let your kids play with toy guns?
Same goes for the mock hamburgers, hot dogs, sausages that veg(etari)ans eat.
So if the idea of killing animals to eat is so repulsive, why would you eat foods that mimic what you would traditionally make from the flesh of dead animals?
And it's not about offending anyone, I am talking about what THEY eat, not what I eat.

This going a bit off-topic, sorry.
The mock meat controversy you mention is often an issue. But if eating fake meat accomplishes the objectives of fewer animals killed, better health and less damage to the environment, it's hard to object.
People have cultural habits and associate food with love, safety, family closeness, a whole host of things. So if, say, Veal Parmigiana is in that category, making it with fake cutlets and vegan cheese is a lot more effective than using the real thing. I'd prefer it was made from vegan products than what it normally is made from, which to my mind is a nightmare.
I understand what you're saying, but vegan hamburgers are fine and we shouldn't discourage people from eating them--not while the Amazon rainforest is burning and humanity is in danger.
[By way of explanation, since everyone may not be aware of this: deforestation for the purpose of raising cattle is common in South America and has been for years. Apparently this latest fire was set deliberately. Powerful individuals with short-sighted perspective and indifference to indigenous people and animals.]

Japanese or Asian diet promotes long life by focus on boosting your digestive system. Majority of Americans have a very weak enzymes in their stomach tracts which leads to allergies and easy weight gains. Most Japanese do not eat sushi everyday. They eat fermented foods and lots of fish and soy based fermented foods. Fermented foods increase your stomach's bio diversity, when your stomach has good bio diversity you're less likely to get sick from colds or flus as well as having gastrointestinal problems.
