Walkers' new crisps range uses real ingredients - including meat

[Mercenary Keyboard Warrior]

Nothing new here, just marketing spin.

It was a couple of years back now that EU legislation mean't that flavours had to be from a natural source. So a bacon flavour has to originate from a pig.
The actual technologies and processes are seriously complex of course.

So you couldn't ahem use an extract from a horse as a beef flavor. Up until the recent legislation you could.

Oh and just to add a little.

Look at the vast majority of recipes and they will say flavourings. This is because they do not actually know the exact ingredients and do not "own" the flavour. The flavour company will have done the R&D and will in effect own the flavour.
One of the pretty rare exceptions would be coca cola where they own the flavour (think of it like IP) and in fact will source the flavour ingredients from multiple sources.

So if they are choosing not to eat meat for health reasons what the heck would they bother eating unhealthy crisps?!

Perhaps the odd packet is fine, you know moderation.

I don't even know where to start with this...you're a 6ft 5 bodybuilder that only weighs 13 stone?! That's pretty much bang on middle for the bmi...what exactly have you 'built'?

I'm 5'11, 13 stone, I don't even lift brah, eat meat, and am in no way fat.

His attempt at validating vegan bodybuilding didn't work as intended, lol.

Six months vegan bodybuilder here don't eat soya I'm 6'5 and 13 stone and progressing, some of my protein sources:

Oatmeal
Beans, peas, and lentils
Peanut butter/nuts
Olive oil/coconut oil/flax oil
Eggs
Salmon
Corn
Avocado
Dried fruit
Bananas
Veggie juice and prune juice
Pasta, brown rice, and wheat bread

Oh and as for the crisps, barbecue is my favorite flavour but I hate chicken but beef is okay. Now chomping into raw bloody beef is not for me but those flavours taste more like seasoning than actual meat.

I don't think you know what it means. I hope you were joking though.

 

[Haggisman]

because they like the taste of meat[...]those people are exactly why quorn is so popular

If they liked the taste of meat they wouldn't be eating quorn!!

 

[MooMoo444]

rofl at implying quorn tastes anything like meat.

Vegan? try again mate

My mate was proper crazy vegan, he didn't even drink anything unless it
could be proved it was filtered correctly (ie wine and such).

What's the difference between eating salmon/eggs and a chunk of steak/chicken.

 

[cHk4]

EPIC!

Perhaps the odd packet is fine, you know moderation.

Then eat meat in moderation, that's a rubbish argument.

 

[icecold]

This thread is an utter train wreck.

It's gotta be a troll. Nobody is that stupid.

Long time veggie here (10yrs+) and I happily eat fake meat / meat flavoured things as long as they contain no animal! I don't eat meat for ethical reasons - those reasons don't have nothing to do with how it tastes!
A surprising amount of food non-vegs would assume is ok (random examples include Oreo cookies, most types of pesto, battenburg cake, many varieties of cheese and yoghurts, numerous beers/wines/ciders etc etc) because it doesn't obviously contain meat, still contain products / by products of slaughter. If you are diligent/dedicated the amount of food you have to cut out is vast.

Saying that - as long as food is clearly labelled as 'new and improved' or something, so that consumers know to check labels I don't see an issue. The worst thing would be if things were swapped from veg to non-veg and unsuspecting people carried on buying/eating them.

But does it not bother you when you eat your meaty crisps, that the flavour has been perfected over the years by eating meat, and being cruel to animals?
