The greenwashing is literally brazen.
Also, who is eating 60lbs of beef a year? More than a pound a week?
A whole swath of Americans eat a pound in a sitting. 6oz is a standard portion, but most people ignore that. Most restaurants have 8oz as the smallest steak. Hell, I was just at a place with a 40 fucking ounce ribeye in the menu. Plus the fuck tons of ground beef a lot of people eat, especially in casserole situations
Seriously, this. I get stink eye because I portion no more than 4oz of beef per serving per person.
I would love to have options for ground beef with 50% or more replaced by mushrooms. I've had burgers made like this and they were better than a fully beef version. Make this widely available, and cheaper than 100% beef, and I could see that accepted faster than the highly processed non meat options like impossible or beyond brands.
That sounds super tasty. I like the non meat stuff occasionally, but yeah they are highly processed. Plus we recently discovered that they tend to trigger my partner's IBS.
