Extremely expensive processed packaged product which appeals to the neoliberal idea of “good” when we have plenty of cheap protein which has grown from the earth since the dawn of time
Rice and beans is for those poor people tho 😭 Missing the essential nutrient of “living things suffering” that I need to live. I mean how else do you explain to things that don’t speak that you’re better than them in every way? Rice and beans only feeds the weak ass flesh water balloon you control, killing feeds the ego.
I’d rather switch to eating Dung Beetles because I can’t dominate beans. The rice has no fog of war or technology tree. I don’t understand how people eat without just killing absolutely everything in their path. I personally stopped buying beef from the grocery stores and just started going out into the fields at night to drain blood out of cattle’s neck. I also really enjoy eating live squirrels and rats I find while navigating the city via sewers in order to avoid my vampiric form from being seen by those poor poor human people.
Straight up yeah. Which is insane. It’s the sexiest thing somebody can do imo. I don’t wanna see somebody eat a shitty protein bar I wanna see your homemade bean curry with brown rice. That’s a measure of character
So mostly the marketing was the issue for you? I’m game to try just about any food once but I think it’s weird how labels are attached to people once they eat it.
Like price of the product would make someone a yuppie? I could see that if someone only ate them because they are expensive. Like folks that only drink specific bottled water because it makes them look richer. I like to eat honey crisp apples because they are worth the extra cost because they taste so darn good, but I don’t think that would make someone a yuppie. More of a conspicuous consumption factor I guess? Good question.
I dunno I just feel like an insect protein bar all packaged up and retailed for a lot of money appeals to a certain demographic. This isn’t the blue shirt labour class buying this crap. They’re eating whatever their wife/husband made for them and then going home I guess. But I can definitely see upper-middle/upper class detached 5 bedroom house owning yoga aficionado buying this by the crate and giving themselves a pat on the back for being so “advanced”
Why are they for yuppies?

It seems like people are willing to go to ANY length to avoid eating beans and nuts.

What about price?

I was trying to convey that they were an expensive eco food, not a cheap protein alternative.
