Impossible Steak Review! How does it Compare to Beyond Steak?

Image
                          Impossible Steak Bites Impossible released a new vegan meat product.  If you are not a frequent shopper at Whole Foods then you may not have known about its release.  This was a quiet drop as I didn’t even receive any marketing emails from Impossible about it.  Impossible Meat is my number 1 brand for alt meat because the products substitute so well for the real deal.  I always thought that Impossible would create a vegan bacon product before doing a steak because its needed. Beyond Meat also has the vegan steak game on LOCK! Beyond Steak is the steak lover turned vegetarian’s dream. There is no other brand that has outdone Beyond Meat’s vegan steak and it is my hope that they will create a full size steak option in addition to their seared tips. The Assessment Now that I’ve boasted about the #1 vegan steak, I’m sure you’re sitting on the edge of your seat and wondering what ve...

Butter Made from Thin Air and Eggs Made from Plants

There's a green company in town that is creating something out of nothing.  That something is delightfully rich butter.  This butter is vegan and made from thin air.  Yes--you heard that right.  The butter is made from air; utilizing real fat and without any impact to the environment.  Savor is the company behind this new and revolutionary fat making process.  To make the butter or fat, a carbon source is heated with hydrogen and is later mixed with oxygen from the air.

Savor was founded by Kathleen Alexander in San Jose, California. Their mission is to commercially produce agriculture free, healthy fats in a way that doesn't negatively affect the environment. The fats are produced without dangerous chemicals and toxins.  Butter is the first type of food that Savor has created but company has plans to expand and begin producing these fats for other foods such as ice cream, milk, cheese and meat.  These foods will all be made without any animal suffering or agricultural farmland.  The fats used to make the foods will be produced using carbon dioxide and water. 

Savor's butter is not able to be purchased by the public at this time as they are still in the beginning phases of commercialization.  This company is one of several who are focused on producing ordinary and popular dairy foods using alternative methods or ingredients.  Ever heard of JUST egg or WunderEggs?  Just Egg has managed to create a vegan egg substitute in liquid and solid forms.  JUST egg is a popular choice in plant-based circles and can be purchased at a variety of specialty markets and grocery stores.  Just egg's core ingredient is mung bean protein. It's a suitable substitute for scrambled eggs, omelettes, frittatas and french toast.

The Just egg patty is perfect for breakfast sandwiches or when there is a desire to have a pre-made vegan egg.  I've used JUST egg on numerous occasions.  Though it doesn't taste exactly like a regular egg, it is incredibly close. Want that vegan breakfast of champions? Well, you definitely need to try JUST egg!

WunderEggs has produced a vegan hardboiled egg.  Though it looks just like a boiled egg, it contains no egg ingredients.  This egg does contain nuts so for those who are allergic--don't even think about it.

Looking at a Wunderegg, you'd think it really is the real deal.  Many have attested to the fact that it even tastes like the real thing!

Both of these egg substitutes are extremely healthy.  The nutritional value and caloric content is comparable to actual eggs.  There is about as much protein, calcium and potassium in these vegan egg substitutes as there is in an egg. The most important aspect of consuming these egg substitutes is that there is no cholesterol! If one is watching cholesterol, switching to an egg substitute might be the answer.  

Dairy substitutes have come a long way.  Two decades ago, the dairy free options being produced by companies such as Savor, Just and WunderEgg were unheard of.  Being green includes eating green.  Plant based or vegan and vegetarian lifestyles are important aspects of a green lifestyle. 

As technology and scientific knowledge becomes more advanced, society will be able to have access to more foods that are respective of our  environment.  More animals will be safe from harm and will be able to enjoy the lives that they have without interference from unconscientious humans.

PETA Protester Confronts Pharrell Williams During Film Premiere

Image
A protester from the organization, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), disrupted a speech being given by Pharrell Williams at a Biopic Premiere in Toronto.  She rushed the stage with a white sign in her hand that read:  Pharrell: Stop Supporting Killing Animals for Fashion.  Pharrell was in Toronto to support his LEGO biopic entitled, Piece by Piece.   The protester directed a number of statements towards Pharrell and the audience concerning his role as men's creative director at Louis Vuitton.   "Your Louis Vuitton collection … Pharrell’s collection is made from their blood,” the protester shouted to the audience. “Pharrell stop torturing animals! Ostriches are being hung upside down, electrocuted with their necks slit.”   PETA is petitioning Louis Vuitton to stop abusing animals and using their bodily materials for the purpose of fashion creation.  During the protest, Pharrell made a pause during his speech and outright...

Nikocado Avocado Woke up 250lbs Lighter! Vegan Again?!

Image
The Mukbang king, Nikocado Avocado, broke his 7 month silence after uploading a video to his channel last night.   He first appeared in the video wearing a big Panda head mask.  Beyond that gigantic panda mask, there was something noticeably different about Nick!   There was a super thin body under the mask!  Could this be a clone of Nikocado?  Is this really the same person who would down several cheeseburgers, nuggets, stuffed tacos and huge plates of noodles in one sitting?  Nikocado is the self proclaimed mukbang king of the internet and with that title came loads of weight gain. It was a real shock to see him slimmer than what he used to be as a vegan.  At the beginning of the video, he stated how he was "two steps ahead."  He went on to say that he had been a part of one of the greatest social experiments of his entire life and likened himself to being a villain of a story where he was able to have significant influence over his fo...
