Minit Stop drops the Beef

terracore - Gotta see this one. New, or a rerun of the "Mahalo Rewards" episode?

South Park Season 23, Episode 4: Let Them Eat Goo

Everything I really needed to know I learned on South Park. Do they have a Geothermal episode yet?

DOES IT CONTAIN GENETICALLY MODIFIED INGREDIENTS?
Genetic engineering is an essential part of our mission and our product. We’ve always embraced the responsible, constructive use of genetic engineering to solve critical environmental, health, safety and food security problems, and have long advocated for responsible use of this technology in the food system. We wouldn’t be able to make a product that rivals or surpasses beef on flavor, texture, nutrition, sustainability, versatility and accessibility without it.

We use two key genetically engineered ingredients: heme (soy leghemoglobin) -- the “magic” molecule that makes meat taste like meat -- and soy protein.

To make heme: We take the DNA for soy leghomoglobin, insert it into yeast, and ferment the yeast. By making our heme using genetic engineering, we avoid growing and digging up soy plants to harvest heme (from the root nodules), which would promote erosion and release carbon stored in the soil. The method we’ve adopted enables us to produce heme sustainably at high volume and make meat from plants for millions of people that is delicious, nutritious and vastly more sustainable than meat from animals.

We also source genetically engineered soy protein from farms in Iowa, Minnesota and Illinois that meet the highest standards for health, safety, and sustainability. You can read more on our blog.

"Impossible Foods' scientists discovered that heme is a key factor in how meat behaves. Heme is the molecule that gives blood its red color and helps carry oxygen in living organisms. Heme is abundant in animal muscle tissue and is also found naturally in all living organisms. Plants, particularly nitrogen-fixing plants and legumes, also contain heme. The plant-based heme molecule is identical to the heme molecule found in meat.

To produce heme protein from non-animal sources, Impossible Foods selected the leghemoglobin molecule found naturally in the roots of soy plants. To make it in large quantities, the company's scientists genetically engineered a yeast and used a fermentation process very similar to the brewing process used to make some types of beer...."

lol

fwiw, fear mongers, DID YOU KNOW??? there are GMO people.......
yes, they are all in their 20's now... if you touch one, or kiss one, you will die...

ps a blue rose is GMO, and will kill you if you touch it...
ps a glofish is GMO, and will kill you if you touch it...

Marijuana is GMO. That's why vaping kills. Won't someone think of the children?

We're all GMO, considering the first kanaka's brother was a taro...
