$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', 'M')y ongoing point in all these posts is that industrial vegetarian alternatives, even organic ones, are less sustainable than local food production.


You've produced a sum total of zero evidence substantiating that point. Get back to us when you've got some numbers.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'b')ut people would be a lot less receptive to Quorn if they know what it is: a fungus that comes from the ground,


Ah, it's raining here today, and in a few weeks, I'll go in search of that most repulsive of ground funguses . . .

The Morel Mushroom!

John, you can discuss the morality of meat-eating but you are never going win the agro/economic argument that a grazing goat costs more oil than a Boca Burger.


You're changing the subject. The issue is whether grazing goats are more sustainable than Boca Burgers. It's a well known fact that goats cause massive desertification and soil erosion worldwide. Dialing everybody back to the lifestyle of Somalia is hardly a recipe for sustainability. How many goats are we going to need here, pete?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'Y')ou can argue the aethetic and culinary qualities of local foods but it is patently stupid to suggest that my nitrogen-rich piss could somehow cost more than natural-gas ammonia fertilizers.


I'm not going to argue with you about the merits of using piss as a fertilizer. It's a great idea, and I support it. On the other hand, if you're talking about monetary costs, how much does your land for raising goats cost, per pound of meat, per year?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', ' ')Japan are the worlds biggest consumers of soy.. they eat ALOT of it (for a very long time), and they seem to be reproducing at a fairly decent rate.


Proof you did not follow the links, soy is not soy, is not soy... etc.

Pstar put most of the truth on the table...

for example try this Jpanese dish called NATTOU:

"And remember that nattou is fermented - that is, in layman’s terms, ROTTEN - which means this natural goodness is all wrapped up in a physical form that resembles the still-damp droppings of a rabbit with some kind of horrific tropical disease. Naturally, with the foul stench and appearance of faeces comes a taste that some would refer to as “acquired” whilst others might say “ARRRG WHAT THE FUCK HAVE I EATEN”, before pouring scalding hot water into their eyes to distract from the cacophony of evil inside their mouth....

Nattou looks like brown, moist beans and at first don’t appear all that bad until you MAKE THE MISTAKE OF MOVING THEM. Yes, because by stirring the pack or picking up a clump of the beans with chopsticks you unleash the strings. The filthy, decaying tentacles of bean plasma that hold this disgusting mess together like glue. There are also two types of nattou, effectively “bean” nattou and “hey, we mushed up the beans for you!” nattou. Both look equally bad.

Heres the shocker - nattou doesn’t actually taste completely awful...However none of this really does anything to mask the smell, which remains pungent and turd-like to the very last string, piercing through however much oil you drown them in like the worlds most effective shit-scented detergent."

The lesson for today Fermentation NOT "Soy protein Isolate"/ TVP


Also soy is moderate in it chemical castration, I'm sure A-holes like gg3 will think up something much WORSE. Like putting Hormones in GM corn , like the ones raised for pharmacuticlas in our food supply already...or something like that.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('JohnDenver', 'i')f you're talking about monetary costs, how much does your land for raising goats cost, per pound of meat, per year?

I own the land JD and the cost is some weeds n' stuff.


How much did you pay for it? And how much are the taxes, per year?

After years of checking about once a year it seems that Quorn has finally made it to my neighborhood. I discovered this through their US website http://www.quorn.us/

I plan on trying it in the next few weeks any suggestions for flavor/texture that might be more palatable?
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Alfred Tennyson', 'W')e are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
