      The first time I had it I thought it was good. The second time it was ok 

      the third time I got one then I I had to run into a store when I got back in the truck it stunk like dog food and not the good kind and the burger wasn’t good. Now I can’t eat them they smell likes dr Ballard’s goo. 

      I do do eat a meat alternative when cooking tacos spaghetti  ect..

      And it doesn’t smell wierd.

      It's not much healthier...still lots of sodium, fat and calories.  Some people I know opt out of the bun and get it on lettuce.  But, personally, it doesn't feel heavy like after eating a regular ff burger...much lighter feel afterward.

      It's a fad, will not last.

      I do find it highly ironic that vegans strive to have "alternatives" to forms of food that they so vehemently protest.

      The worst part about it, is it's driven by in a lot of cases a misguided sense of moral righteousness, which is completely arbitrary and counter to any scientifically backed narrative.

      Is there room for improvement in the current method of meat production? Absolutely. Are humans predisposed to eating nothing but plant based matter? No. If we were, every human would have evolved to have guts like gorillas, or cows or any other herbivorous species in the animal kingdom.

      Humans have evolved to the greatest heights of intellectual superiority through the process of eating meat and animal fats, only to turn that gift into an insane obsession with posting memes and quibbling about the very thing that has allowed us to have the intellectual capacity to conceive this insane paradox to begin with.

       

  2. There might be intelligent life out there. But let's look at it from their perspective. Why are aliens, flying possibly 10, 100, 1000 light years to Earth. Only to buzz some farmer's field, or other remote places? Unless these are alien versions of space probes and they are just gathering data on a very violent, but intelligent, and imaginative species. Dr. J. Allen Hynek stated that the majority of UFO sightings were just aircraft, or atmospheric phenomena. But he did say the ones from police officers, pilots there was a small percentage that he deemed "Worthy of serious further study". It is possible that a civilization that is 1000's of years more advanced has maybe dimension altering abilities. This might explain why there seems to be a generic "gray alien" but there's also reports of wild deviations in the type of UFO's and type of aliens. Or maybe just everyone's culture/upbringing makes it, you see what you want to see. Wonder what would happen if one landed at front of the UN? Something like?

      Newbie, That was my first treasured 45! 7 yrs old & I bought Radar Love. GAWD..what a great tune!

       

      Used to use ice cream buckets(we weren't rich! :^), & I'd bash away on them with wooden sticks

       

      "I been drivin' all night, my hand's wet on the wheel

      There's a voice in my head that drives my heel

      My baby's callin, said I need you here

      & it's a half-past 4 & I'm shiftin' gears(drum roll)

      ...the next chorus of voices would make my skin break out in goosebumps(Man, loved them 70's)

      Can't decide on Radar Love or Twilight Zone as Golden Earring's best song.

       

       

  5. RIP Mr. Mikita. the guy who help invent the curved stick. And scared the bejeezus out of goalies ever since.
  6. None of those things other than more choices will result in more moderate government. In fact one term politics nothing will get done, and probably be more radical. Pay MP's in a mix of cash and bonds. That way if the economy does well they get rewarded. It would also encourage long term planning, instead of short term goals.
  7. OMG...Corrado is still available as a UFA!!!! :lol:

  8. Ken Burns The Vietnam War, is amazing. Terrifying. Horrible. Bravery. Cowardice. Some parts funny. All educational.

      Check out Johnpilger.com . He has a list of movies he made(Aussie journalist) free, on his website.

       

      Strongly recommend watching "The War You Don't See"

       

      You might never believe media ever again.

      the window into McNamara's decision making is pretty eye opening. Its a good series.

      The irony is that Vietnam today has one of countries that has very positive views of America.  You see deeper relations developing between the two countries despite all the devastation left by that "police action" and mixed relations at best between the two former "allies" (Vietnam & China).

       

      Such a waste if things were handled differently back then.

  9. People eat pie with their fingers? This an Aussie thing?
