I’ve been eating Impossible burgers and nuggets for years, and it’s never had a laxative effect. I think you might be assuming there’s a high enough dose to produce the effect, when there probably isn’t.

What’s wrong with being vegan but wanting a meat substitute? Does it make someone a worse person than you if they do that?

I’m not vegan, and I eat Impossible meats, because I try to eat less meat and they taste really good. Would it be better if I ate real meat instead? Because the way you’re talking, it sounds like that’s what you’d prefer.

This. I'm not giving up BBQ, sorry. However, if I can replace my heavily processed meats like nuggies or hamburger patties with something that tastes more or less the same, has a vaguely similar or better texture, and doesn't involve killing an animal, then fuck yeah I'll try it.

Talking about how an ingredient is a laxative as if it's going to immediately make everyone shit their brains out just pushes me and presumably others away from meat substitutes. Tbh it almost feels elitist or like meat propaganda. "The fake meat is gonna make you die from diarrhea!!!!" or "Oooo... Look at me, I'm a real^tm vegan because I don't eat that chemical filled, laxative laced fake meat".

I'd rather people eat for their blood types than trying to force fuck themselves into what someone else suggests they eat.

MC may not have the same effect on you as some other people, just like red meat may not have the same effect on you as it does others. Some blood types actually need meat, others require raw roots and less cooking.

So yes, eat the meat if your body and metabolism react to it in a healthy way. Just do yourself a favor and go to a local butcher, don't buy the pre-packaged garbage from grocery stores or Boar's Head.

Lastly, my point was that the fake meats are all heavily processed foods, as opposed to real meat which is considered a whole-food in most forms. Let your body break it down into what it needs, not some machine in another state run by a CEO who wants to make money off you.

In the years since D’Adamo introduced the Blood Type Diet, many studies have looked into whether the diet actually works, but none of them have shown a clear link between eating according to your blood type and better health.

I’ve seen how Impossible burger meat is made. It’s just ground up plants and oils. If that’s what you call “heavily processed”, I feel like I shouldn’t take your advice on diet.

How many people even know their blood type? Certainly noone before types were even discovered.
