#9  I clicked on that link and got locked up on the site. I had to restart my computer to get out of it.
Frankly I think animals are more efficient at making meat.

#6  The product is likely to improve over time

When they move manufacturing to China.

#4  The product is likely to improve over time and come down in cost because of free market competition (what will vegan Bernie fans think about that I wonder).

So, one of the ingredients is irony?
Speaking of ingredients, one of the reasons for eating meat is the nutritional content - vitamins and such you can't get from eating plants.
(not to mention that if no one ate them, we would be up to our knees in animals)

#3  Years ago I was a bystander when the inspector from the local State Dept of Ag informed the plant manager that: "No, you Can't label a product as 'Nonfat French Vanilla Ice Creamâ„¢'!?! (1) It doesn't have butterfat in it so and (2) it is artificially flavored and any 'French Ice Cream' must contain egg custard..." They ended up destroying all of the unused paper cartons and withdrew the product.

#2  I believe they will get a note from the FDA for labeling anything that isn't meat as meat.

#1  competing with Impossible Foods whose Impossible burger is already being sold by Burger King and other places; they also sell unformed product that can be made into kebabs

I've had some of the Impossible Burger and also the Impossible kebab. It wasn't quite as good as meat (and it was more expensive). The product is likely to improve over time and come down in cost because of free market competition (what will vegan Bernie fans think about that I wonder).
