Using this knowledge for new vegan products seems better than just creating increasingly bizarre flavors of chips or junkier junk food.

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. I don't get this trend anyway. There are lots of perfectly good vegetarian dishes out there. Why do we have to whore out the food industry to the tastes of meat eaters in the name of saving the planet ? Can't wannabe "virtuous" meat eaters learn to eat vegetarian f…
I'm a big proponent of vegetarianism, and I think there's a lot of value in these "transitional meats." I've convinced one friend to vegetarianism over the years by cooking "meat-like" replacements for them... this is the type of person who might say "oh I've considered it before, but I could never give up hamburgers" to a vegetarian. Overall if the goal is meat reduction, then it's a win if you can get someone to oc…
What I feel is really detrimental is the fitness culture pushing for no carbs and 2 grams of proteins per kg of body weight.
I have one question... Why?

Nestlé doesn't give a single fuck about ethics and morality
Its 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."
If they listed the shit they put in them nobody would eat them. Same thing with hot dog sausages or chicken nuggets, when you've seen the factory videos they're puke inducing

Beyond beef and impossible have been successful because meat eaters are willing to choose them and like them. Put another way, can't you learn to like an all meat diet without sneaking in vegetables or making them seem like non-meat? (Well, no, you like what you like, and you probably won't make huge changes without incentive).
Personally I don't know of anyone who eats the fake beef in my social circle. They are pretty horrific when you look at the ingredients: Tertiary butylhydroquinone, Erythosine, Propylene glycol, Ferric orthophosphate. Ugh. But lentils, carrots, potatos, brocolli, peas, beans, onions, mushrooms, nuts -- that's fantastic.
Stuff tastes less interesting now.

I like meat. It sucks, because I recognize the ethical implications of eating meat. I tried being vegan briefly and I dearly missed eggs. Saying "existing vegetarian food is good enough, let's not see what else we can do, everyone should just get over it" seems a bit silly to me.
Your extremist attempt to go from presumably a meat-centered diet to absolutely no animal products at all is not really a counterpoint to anything I've said.
if 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*
Vrimp sounds like something I would stay far away from. Other than that, sounds cool.
It's depressing to think that a group of people were paid to think of a name and after many months and countless meetings they came up with vrimp
