#2Vrimp is officially the worst branding I have heard since Kraft rebranded to Mondelez.
Otherwise very cool! I've started eating Impossible or Beyond burgers wherever they have them because I like the flavor and honestly beige blend of 1000 cattle [1] isn't a particularly appetizing product.
Looking forward to expanding this to eggs and, uh, vrimp.

#3Vrimp sounds like something I would stay far away from. Other than that, sounds cool.

#4if it is plants, it is not Eggs
best way for a product to not work is to label it as "plant based" *insert_animal_food_name*

The product is called “ vEGGie.” The branding is silly, but certainly doesn’t seem deceptive.

#6I remember when margarine, and other plant based fats were being touted as the healthier alternative to animal fats, and in the end, it turned out that these artificially oxidized plant oils ended up being a direct cause of heart disease.
I'm afraid of products such as these for the same reason, because we have no long term health data.
I'm happy to eat plants of all sorts, in their natural form. A slurry of plant fats and proteins which approximates eggs sounds like nasty factory runoff.

Could you please cite your sources for your claims? They are rather bold and contrary to what I've learned.

don't be anti-plant
Re: Nestlé to Debut Plant-Based Eggs, Shrimp
#9Its hard for me to understand exactly how the term "plant-based" came to be an acceptably descriptive name for a category of food. Is it so hard to just put the name of the plants in the name of the food? I think most people would be skeptical of going to a bar and ordering something off the menu that was simply called "Animal-based Wings."

It seems a little absurd to me to ask the OP to cite the source(s) of their thoughts, emotions and memories.
