ROCHESTER, MN—Hailing it as the best-tasting and most satisfying such product on the market, vegetarian food manufacturer Greenwood Farms unveiled a more realistic meat substitute Friday made from soy raised in brutally cruel conditions.
Soy is like trying to replace meat with cork. Sure it’s technically a substitute in the sense that you’ve not got any more meat but it’s not really a substitute in the sense that it replaces it in any manner.
Quorn is a much better equivalent. It isn’t 1995 anymore, we don’t need to eat soy, I don’t know why it’s still a thing.
You’re welcome to it then. Quorn is fine, and I do like diversifying food sources; mycoprotein is good.
But tbh, I like soy because its pretty lightly processed. Tofu can be made at home easily, with nothing beyond tools, water, and vinegar. And if you don’t like tofu, that’s fine, but its my ‘meat’ of choice.
Seitan is my second favorite, and again, its pretty easy to make at home; only water and flour is needed.
I do eat quorn sometimes, but not often. And while mycoprotein is cool as a meat substitute, I feel like just eating mushrooms is a better choice for most dishes.
Quorn is expensive…at least near me :( soy can be bought as dry beans for less than 5 bucks a kg. Also everyone can/could grow soy in a flower pot, quorn seems a tiny bit harder no? even though it’s basically made of mushrooms
And if soy wasn’t the better option why wouldn’t cattle-raisers use Quorn?
Its a complete and excellent source of protein thats easily farmed and can be prepared in a million different delicious ways. It is also thousands of times less destructive for the environment than meat, as well as being cheaper to produce.
Soy has been consumed for thousands of years. Also this is entirely anecdotal and opinion: but Quorn sucks. Morning star/beyond meat all the way

Finally, having more good options is good :)
I don’t understand the question what does cattle raises got to do with meat substitutes for humans?

I don’t know. I want to hear more about these brutal conditions. It may add the suffering flavor soy has been missing all this time.
