    I don’t know why we don’t make chicken nuggets out of plant protein regularly now. They don’t taste like chicken, they don’t have the texture of chicken, and I honestly don’t think kids care as long as it’s shaped like a dinosaur.

      There actually are some good plant-based chicken nuggets out there too. For instance impossible nuggets are pretty good

        I think my favorite fake nuggets are “Simulate” brand, and the box always gives me a kick. I don’t like the beyond meat nuggets, but I like their burger patties. Gardein stuff is also good. However, I’ve been a vegetarian so long I’m a bad judge of what tastes like meat.

      I always give my niece and nephew plant based nuggets. When they ask me what it is i just tell them “nuggets”. They love it.

      We do. Just buy wheat flour and wash out the starch. It has wayy more protein than dead animals, its cheaper, its hethier, and it doesn’t cause climate change.
