  • As a long time vegetarian this is exactly what I noticed in the last years. 15 years ago it was almost impossible to get good vegetarian products in the supermarket. I’m talking about something like a vegetable spread, tofu sausages weren’t a thing. Over the years there were more and more competitors and now the spreads are cheap (cheap as in fucking expensive like everything else).

    This was also true for Tofu etc. It started with super niche ecological brands, now there are cheap no name products available. This is what will finally also happen to the fancy burger patties that are on the market for some years now.

    But you can be sure everyone in the chain will make their margin on the way except for you.

    Edit: Beware US citizen, I am speaking for my home country which is Germany.


  • Bacteria are living organisms and like humans they (most of them) cannot survive high temperatures, their proteins denaturate and their cell structure disintegrates. On the other hand, often it is not the organism itself that is dangerous but the toxins they excrete, which could be much more stable. Imagine food that is all covered by mold - you can probably cook or “wash” it as long as you want, you will end up with serious food poisoning.

    I can only recommend to anybody reading this, do not ingest meat that smells suspicious, you can seriously harm your health. And also maybe you’d like to try out a vegetarian diet, just because you read this until the end?
