Enamorado con Una ZIHrena

I rest my case!

I bought some vegetable-based hamburger some time ago here in Montana and found it quite edible. Not that impressed with the price, however; twice as much as ground meat.

what is the cost of the plant based cheese burgers at the restaurant in Zihua?

Here is their menu: https://www.facebook.com/EntreZankas/menu

The burger as of 30-November-2020 is $115 pesos.

Not to mention the methane produced in large quantities by feed lots!

The pandemic and to a much greater extent, climate change is going to force us humans into rethinking a whole lot of fundamentals. Not the least of which is how we produce and distribute food.

The diet that produces the lowest carbon footprint and uses the least amount of water is a plant-based diet. It's also happens to be the healthiest diet. Check out www.nutritionfacts.org.

For all of you meat-hungry fans living in Zihuatanejo, check out the cheeseburgers at Entre Zankas in downtown Zihua. You will be pleasantly surprised at the taste of some of the plant-based alternative to meat.

Okay, ready for the slings and arrows!

Now let's hear from a carnivore.
Most "tastes just like beef" products are made from processed soy,(not going to list references because they are easy to find). The processing destroys a lot of the nutrients. To make them taste like beef, they are loaded with a lot of chemicals. I check out one fake beef burger and the list of additives was more than 20. That coupled with fact that soy is loaded with phytoestrogens, make them undesirable for me. Phytoestrogens are hormone mimicers and are not good.
I could go on, but that is enough.

I'm with you, Victor.

By the way, in this business world of mergers, buy-outs and acquisitions, two big companies, one in retail housewares, the other in the meat substitute business, have merged. The new company is called Bed, Bath & Beyond Meat.

Agreed! Meat substitutes like Impassable Beef and Beneath Meat scare the bejeezus out of me. Who knows what is inside them!? And the current meat substitutes don't even try to pretend that they are healthy. They say they are "healthier" than beef. That is setting the bar pretty darn low.

This is why places such as Entre Zankas are so important. They don't try to imitate meat; they aim to surpass meat. They offer an alternative to meat that is delightfully disarming and delicious. "I didn't know plant-based / vegan food could taste so good!" is what you hear people say. They use seeds, nuts, whole grains, legumes, and vegetables to make dishes that have similar textures to meat but are far tastier and far healthier.

We are know that climate change is going to change our lives in many different ways. One of them will be our food supply. It is only a matter of time.
