This is truly insane. What about bakery products made with eggs? And any other food items made with eggs? Will this shutdown the local restaurant and fastfood breakfast industry as well? The people really didn't think this one through, did they?! I keep thinking too that this will really hurt a lot of poorer families for whom eggs are one of the very few good sources of protein that are relatively inexpensive in most parts of the country.

To say the least. This is no small matter. It will impact everyone in that state, unless they are living a vegan lifestyle and never ever eat anything that contains any type of egg product. I sincerely hope this will be overturned within the firs 30 days.

Vegan Jewish deli food is taking off, from carrot 'lox' to plant-based pastramiOver the past four years, vegan Jewish delis have been sprouting up everywhere — from reliably vegan hubs such as Portland, Oregon, to budding cores of plant-forward eating such as Rochester, New York. Unreal Deli, a plant-based deli-meat company, just expanded its "corn'd beef" to Publix, the Florida supermarket chain known for its sub sandwiches. You can even find vegan options at delis in meat-and-potato country — and we're not talking sad salads. Vegans can now enjoy mushroom pastrami — cured in salt, spiced, and smoked to perfection — carrot "lox," and beet-based Reubens. The creators of these dishes joke that they'd have been a shonda (that's Yiddish for "scandal") in the eyes of their elders. But as the Jewish deli evolves to fit the tastes of modern diners, veganism has to be part of the picture, they said. "People still have taste buds, and they don't want to eat a sprout salad," said Jenny Goldfarb, Unreal Deli's founder and CEO. "They want to feel like they're munching down on a delicious mile-high deli sandwich, and they should be able to do that." www.yahoo.com/news/vegan-jewish-deli-food-taking-120000594.html

"They want to feel like they're munching down on a delicious mile-high deli sandwich, and they should be able to do that." "They want to feel like they're munching down on a delicious mile-high deli sandwich, and they should be able to do that." Why, yes, they should be able to do that - because they really are chowing down on a real (meat, cheese, & bread-based, with veggies of their choice & condiments) sub sandwich. "Unreal Deli" is the most perfect name for Jenny Goldfarb's company. I'm okay with people eating all the vegan foods they desire to eat - so long as those products are well-labeled for what they really are. But, heh, I'm not having any of that fake stuff. I eat tofu occasionally, and I know that's exactly what it is at the time and it isn't dressed up to be, or processed as, anything else. That's how I feel about all vegetable items.

This is not satire! It's from "Not the Bee" ... Great news: A new study reveals that eating meat is actually linked to a LONGER lifespan!This is a great week for meat lovers. First we learn that eating vegetables is not actually a surefire way to reduce your chances of dying: Sorry, mom: New Oxford research says eating vegetables doesn't lower your risk of heart disease (<-- this article is linked through the illustration) Now, out of Australia, we find out that eating meat might actually help you live longer! That's just wonderful to know. It is also...not at all shocking. At least not if you know anything at all about, you know, human physiology. I mean, there are people who insist that you can live real healthy on a diet of chickpeas and estrogen-rich soy isoflavone supplements. You know the type. Then there are those of us who recognize that meat is a critical part of the human diet and we can't do away with it without disastrous effects on our health and well-being. The article ends, of course!, by reminding all of us: Everything in moderation, of course!

Startup converts cashew waste to plant-based meat substituteA Hawaiian startup is transforming a byproduct of the cashew nut industry into a nutritious plant-based meat alternative. Cashew apples, the fleshy stem of the plant that often are discarded, are rich in fat, fiber, minerals, protein, tannins and vitamin C, according to the founders of Cajú Love. The brand is debuting organic cashew fruit meat, which has a texture similar to that of shredded chicken. The single-ingredient product is unseasoned and has a neutral flavor, according to the company, so it may be used in a variety of applications. “Cashew fruit meat is an extremely nutritious food for a healthy lifestyle and one of the most sustainable food options,” she said. “With every cashew meat pack you purchase, you are helping divert food waste and reduce water and land use for food supply.” www.foodbusinessnews.net/articles/19972-startup-converts-cashew-waste-to-plant-based-meat-substituteWow! Who knew? I received an email today that was an ad from this Caju' Love company so I googled the subject & found the above article. There are apparently no additives, so - if not for the fact that the cashew is a nut I can't digest well - this is a faux meat that I would probably actually try. This is at the bottom of the email I received:

Kansas governor signs law requiring disclaimers on veggie burgers, plant-based meat labelsGov. Laura Kelly has signed into law a meat labeling bill pushed by the cattle industry as a way to protect consumers who may be confused by plant-based alternatives. Kelly approved SB 261 on Thursday after the bill passed unanimously in the House and Senate. The bill signing comes as Kelly is set to proclaim May as beef month. Starting July 1, producers of plant-based meats must include on their labels a disclaimer that is in a "prominent and conspicuous font size, in close proximity" to traditional meat terms. Disclaimers can include vegetarian, vegan and meatless, among other words and phrases. Without such disclaimers, the food would be considered misbranded. www.yahoo.com/news/kansas-governor-signs-law-requiring-230849723.html

Heh, I think all any of us [rationa] folks want is truth in labeling. That allows me to make informed choices about what I want to buy, prepare, and feed my family members.
I added the emphasis to that one sentence because I wanted to point out that chambers of commerce are not really on the side of free thinking, entrepreneurial endeavors, and capitalism. There's a lot of groupthink and control of 'who' produces 'what', once you get inside that organization. I went searching, but couldn't easily find articles I've read in the past about the socialist, communist leanings of the CofC. It won't hurt my feelings if you think I'm totally off the mark, I've just read about that organization in the past and was shocked at what I found, but I've definitely turned into someone who mistrusts the CofC, and the Jaycees (junior version of the CofC - members in their 20s and 30s).
So, of course, I'm not too surprised that the Chamber is pro-fake meat products, while the ag industry wants a fair and balanced presentation of products.

Plant-based meat groups in court battle over taste of their productsThe battle for supremacy in the vegan food market has taken a new turn with a legal row over a protein molecule designed to make plant products taste like beef burgers. Food executives are closely watching the patent dispute between two US companies: Impossible Foods, one of the earliest plant-based meat producers, and Motif FoodWorks. Impossible claims Motif has infringed its patent protecting the invention of a beef replica product that uses heme, a molecule containing iron. www.ft.com/content/43912436-e579-4756-9795-b78fb4457c7a

Wow. It will be interesting to see the outcome of this one! It would be interesting to know how similar heme is to blood. Blood cannot be vegan. I'm thinking they must be splitting hairs to use that molecule at all, but heh, I really don't know.

I absolutely loved that commercial. ... There was truth in it then, and there is truth in it now. Hopefully that little old lady is happily living in heaven these days.

BEER GIANT COORS TAPS BARLEY TO MAKE ITS FIRST DAIRY-FREE MILKCan you believe it? Another entry into the non-dairy "milk" market. Coors enters the plant-based milk industry with Golden Wing, a vegan barley milk with a malty sweetness. While it might seem odd for a beer company to make vegan milk, the connection here is actually quite logical. Based in Golden, CO, Coors makes its Golden Wing milk from barley, a grain the company has worked with since inception. “The plant-based milk category is growing rapidly, and it’s largely fueled by innovation—whether it’s almond, oat or barley,” Brian Schmidt, Brand Manager of parent company Molson Coors Non-Alcoholic, told VegNews. For Golden Wing, Coors puts its barley through a proprietary enzymatic process to break down its fibers and filter out insoluble fiber to maintain nutrient contents in its vegan milk. This base is combined with water, sunflower oil, pink Himalayan salt, and a touch of shiitake mushroom extract to create a neutral milky flavor that is not overly sweet or astringent. The resulting vegan milk is not overly sweet or astringent and pours a khaki color that Schmidt describes as “a malty sweetness reminiscent of milk leftover in a bowl of cereal.” Golden Wing milk will be stocked in the daily aisle at select Sprouts and Whole Foods Markets stores, and is available via the brand’s website. vegnews.com/2022/5/coors-barley-dairy-free-milk
