There are thousands of years worth of veg recipes, eaten by billions of people every single day, that are delicious and do not pretend to be meat.
That is what every "we tried so hard to make this as much like actual meat as possible" company is competing with: actual food culture.

This is effectively a large tax on any store that accepts EBT cards and will make many households’ SNAP benefits unusable.
RFK Jr: "One of the things we're doing is Brooke Rollins is requiring that any facility, and store that accepts food stamps will have to double the amount of whole food that is now available to recipients. So that will change the marketplace around the country."

The first point here is she isn't his girlfriend; she's a sycophantic computer programme he's set up to praise him.

This is why the Government's strategy is doomed. The British public's view of immigration is completely disconnected from reality, and copying the last government by pursuing increasingly vicious crackdowns on legal migration is delivering the same outcome.

GamerGate failed American women in total, and so few people know what the fuck it is.
And the ones who did were either screaming that it was crucial to pay attention, or all-in on GamerGate's terrorism against women.
It was a profound failure in this country.

Once again: do not let it escape your notice even for a moment that, despite the salaciousness and the broader political implications, Ryan Lizza is still running the GamerGate playbook on his ex-fiancee.

I understand the pressures on the BBC, but Radio 4's coverage of the Minneapolis shooting is an example of "bad balance".
It's all "the Trump regime says she was a terrorist, but Democrats say it was murder".
The BBC has the footage. It doesn't have to treat truth and falsehood as equally valid.

WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.
“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.

If you’re old enough to remember Wag the Dog, congratulations: you’re also old enough to recognize when a White House is tossing a foreign military spectacle onto the national stage because the domestic plotline has become… inconvenient.
Wag the Dog Was a Warning, Not a Foreign Policy Blueprint
From the Epstein Files to oil-driven distractions, the Venezuela operation feels less like leadership and more like a rerun Americans were warned about decades ago.
