It seems that it is not just "meat" that falls into the frankenfood category anymore. We may soon have to question where our veggies are coming from if this Canadian article is to be believed: New “recycling” technology is actually CANNIBALISM: Dead people are liquefied, drained into city sewers, then dumped on food crops as “biosludge”(Natural News) A new “recycling” technology called “bio-cremation” liquefies the dead, then dumps their liquid remains into city sewers where solid and liquid waste are collected as “biosludge” to be dumped on food crops. Those crops, in turn, are fed back to humans as part of the mainstream food supply. In a shocking true story that’s part The Matrix and part Soylent Green, a company based in Smith Falls, Ontario has devised a “bio-cremation” system that it calls an “eco-friendly alternative to flame-based cremation or casket burials,” reports Canada’s CBC News. The company is called and touts its approach to dissolving dead bodies as “eco-friendly alkaline hydrolysis.” According to CBC News, dead bodies are liquefied with a “process that blends water with an alkali solution…” The company’s website describes the body liquefaction process as follows: Bio Cremation creates a highly controlled and sophisticated environment that uniquely combines water, alkali, heat and pressure. This process biochemically hydrolyzes the human body, leaving only bone fragments. During a typical Bio Cremation cycle, the body is reduced, bone fragments are rinsed and the remaining by-product is a sterile fluid. There’s no mention of handling the mercury and other toxic heavy metals that would survive such a process, of course. Those metals would obviously end up in the city’s sewer system. “The company came under fire in 2016 when it was revealed the liquid byproduct is then drained into the town’s sewage system,” reports CBC News (Canada) www.naturalnews.com/2018-02-05-new-recycling-technology-dead-are-liquefied-sewer-system-dumped-on-food-crops-as-biosludge.html

Another thought that occurs to me: If people were to stop eating meat all together, wouldn't many types of animals soon have a major overpopulation problem? And if all the cows and other herd animals were released back into the wild like the animal rights crowd wants, where would they find enough food to go around?

And if all the cows and other herd animals were released back into the wild like the animal rights crowd wants, where would they find enough food to go around? This would create a lot of problems. Natural predators would eat a lot of cows, sheep, goats, whatever, but that doesn't really help the situation. Back in the 80s: Deer in part of Florida were so overpopulated they were sickly, having birth defects, and the fear was that it could affect humans, so a hunting season was opened up. The animal activists went nuts! This was so cruel, shooting Bambi! Well, it was necessary. Very similar problems would crop up quickly if large herds were turned loose to the wilds. Besides, I can't imagine people willingly turning their animals loose. Our city doesn't recycle "bio-sludge" to put on fields, so I'm not sure how widespread that idea would be, or how readily accepted.

Around here, the bio-sludge from the sewage treatment plants is used in fertilizer for farms; but so far as I know, no one in these parts is yet using the “bio-cremation” method of recycling bodies. I'm don't think that it would even be legal here, but it is probably only a matter of time before it is.

Impossible Foods to make plant-based ‘bacon’ possible with alternative pork
After attracting nearly $800 million in financing and swelling to a $2 billion valuation with its namesake Impossible Burger, the Redwood City food tech company is looking beyond the bun as it targets its newest goal: a bigger chunk of China's meat market. Impossible Foods' CEO Pat Brown said in an interview with Bloomberg that it already has a handful of prototypes for plant-based pork.
With the creation of a new pork alternative, Impossible Foods would be able to get a stronger foothold on the $2.7 trillion global meat market. Already, the company has been able to launch in major markets thanks to its debut on Burger King menus with the Impossible Whopper, as well as its recent expansion into retail outlets on the East and West Coasts.
From "meaty" burgers to chick'n nuggets, the alternative meat market is projected to increase from $4.6 billion last year to as much as $85 billion by 2030, according to UBS data. Companies such as Impossible Foods, El Segundo-based Beyond Meat (NASDAQ: BYND), San Francisco's Just, Memphis Meats and New Wave Foods are all racing to take advantage of the burgeoning industry's explosive growth.

Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods have a new foe in the plant-based burger wars: the Ultimate BurgerIt’s ultimately not meat. But the Conagra Brands-owned Gardein brand hopes its new plant-based Ultimate Burger wins over Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods loyalists in 2020. Gardein, acquired in Conagra’s 2018 acquisition of Pinnacle Foods, will release the next iteration of the Ultimate Burger in January. The burger is a mixture of soy and pea protein, assorted spices and canola oil. It will join several other plant-based Gardein products currently on the market, such as fishless fish and meatless meatballs (using the same proteins). The “Ultimate” label will also be used on a line of spicy sausage and hot dogs. Wrapped in sleek brown packaging, the Ultimate Burger scores big on overall value: a six-pack of burgers will go for $11.99. A two-pack of Beyond Meat burgers could set you back about $5.99. The notorious five pound Impossible Foods “brick” can go for upwards of $250. www.yahoo.com/finance/news/beyond-meat-and-impossible-foods-have-a-new-foe-in-the-plantbased-burger-wars-the-ultimate-burger-140122345.html

A friend of ours, who's family has been in farming & ranching in SW Okla for generations, posted this comparison recently between a Real Beef Burger & the Burger King "Impossible Whopper".
This is a picture of a real Burger King Whopper. The "Impossible Whopper" really doesn't look any different. But check it out - it really is very different. Why would anyone want to eat this thing if they knew?

Lawsuit claims Burger King's Impossible Whoppers are contaminated by meat
"Burger King was sued on Monday by a vegan customer who accused the fast-food chain of contaminating its meatless "Impossible" Whoppers by cooking them on the same grills as its traditional meat burgers.
In a proposed class action, Phillip Williams said he bought an Impossible Whopper, a plant-based alternative to Burger King's regular Whopper, at an Atlanta drive-through, and would not have paid a premium price had he known the cooking would leave it "coated in meat by-products."

Burger King Is Bringing Plant-Based Meat to the Kid's Menu
Perhaps no burger chain has embraced the non-meat movement quite like Burger King, who’s managed to turn their Impossible Whopper into something of a key differentiator.
Now, they’re doubling down, testing out new menu items that could see a plant-based burger wind up on the kid’s menu of a fast food restaurant for the first time. According to reports, Burger King has begun testing various new iterations of Impossible burgers, building on the success of the Impossible Whopper launch earlier this year.
Specifically, lucky eaters near 180 Burger Kings scattered around the country can get their hands on an Impossible Whopper Junior, an Impossible Burger (which, unlike the Whopper, features pickles, mustard and ketchup), as well as an Impossible Cheeseburger for those who aren’t feeling the whole vegan thing.
Notably, that Impossible Burger and Impossible Cheeseburger will both make their debut in Burger Kings’ King Jr. kids’ meals as well. This marks the first time that any plant-based meat alternatives have been explicitly sold explicitly to children on this wide of a scale.

"a vegan customer who accused the fast-food chain of contaminating its meatless "Impossible" Whoppers by cooking them on the same grills as its traditional meat burgers" Why, of course they cook the burgers on the same grill! The customer wasn't thinking if he didn't figure that out in advance!
That guy has much bigger nutritional - and potential health - problems when it comes to eating that "plant-based" burger than "meat by-products" touching his faux meat burger.

I'll be discussing this around the table with ds, L & the grands. They need to know what's wrong with this stuff.

What the Burger King Lawsuit Means for Fake Meat Producers
The thing is that companies like Impossible Foods, which makes the Impossible Whopper and Beyond Meat BYND which makes the Beyond burger, are primarily targeting the meat-eating population (which is 95% of the U.S.). Many in this group are looking to eat more vegetables whether for environmental, health or other reasons. So these companies actually want their stuff alongside meat at grocery stores and probably want it cooked alongside meat as well. The idea is to get more people to try the thing in the hope that some will be repeat customers.
It was only a matter of time before this key strategy for meatless meat got hit on both sides. On the one side, vegans and vegetarians were bound to have a problem with it being called meatless while on the other, meat producers were bound to have a problem with it being called meat.
And sure enough, cattle ranchers and their associations, a group with considerable political clout, are up in arms. This has led officials in around 30 states including Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota, Oklahoma and Wyoming to present bills preventing the usage of words like meat, burger, sausage, jerky or hot dog unless it was directly sourced from animals. In Mississippi and Missouri, it’s already a punishable offense

As it should be!
