At last! Let's have a polite discussion. Definitely don't look at the
ingredients lists for the old Boca Burgers and Morningstar Farms faux
meat products. Unless you just love injesting chemicals. I've been
saying that for years.

The newer stuff isn't sold frozen, it's cryo-vac'd and sold "fresh" in
the cold case. Plant-based meat. The ingredients on the Beyond brand
aren't horrible. This is the sausage links bowser is referring to:

Ingredients. Water, Pea Protein*, Refined Coconut Oil, Sunflower Oil,
Natural Flavor, Contains 2% or less of: Rice Protein, Faba Bean Protein,
Potato Starch, Salt, Fruit Juice (For Color), Vegetable Juice (For
Color), Apple Fiber, Methylcellulose, Citrus Extract (To Protect
Quality), Calcium Alginate Casing.

It's still not meat. It won't tempt me to buy it.
