    YUM, lol.

    • Don't buy the hype on the Impossible burger. I was a vegetarian for 6-7 years, so I've had just about every fake burger on the planet..garbage
    • ..recently tried an Impossible burger and was seriously disappointing.garbage
    • White Castle is worth trying once just to know what it’s about. And yes, you’ll need at least 6 if those little guys.monospaced
    • @garbage - I'm not 'buying the hype' - just v. interested in meat replacement ingredients. I've read enough to know it's not perfect, but it's a start!detritus
    • I think cultured meat's a long way off - even the shittiest of mince needs a complex and hard to synthesise mix of muscle protein and fats, 'impossible' nowdetritus
    • Cows eat grass to feed the bacteria in their stomachs. It's the bacteria that the cows eat. Can't wait for pure protein bacteria burgers.shapesalad
    • @mono - I have no doubt it's terrible, but it's a significant bullet point on my ever-planned 'fast food map' of America that I intend to embark upon sometimedetritus
    • Weirdly-enough, that's the exact-same sentiment I shared on ars' comments earlier, shapesalad :)detritus
    • In relation to cows, I mean. 'pure protein' isn't what you're after if you want a meat replacement. Fat, as I understand it, is very hard to replicate.detritus
    • ..so too decent 'chewy' muscle protein. Meat vats of the future will need some sort of stimulation to form muscles of some kind.detritus
    • you can already get pure protein powder, making fake meat is way more complex than that.zarkonite
    • @det If you're putting American fast food on your list, you can aim much higher than White Castle.garbage

    Personally, I don't see this as a good thing...

    “When Alyssa Navarrette, a third-year student who is studying anthropology and art, came home for her first visit after starting college, she was taken by surprise when her mother hugged her.

    “If you don’t want to be touched and your mom wants to hug you, you should be allowed to say no,” Ms. Navarrette said. “It’s about having autonomy over your own body.””

    Alabama fails to reverse ban on school yoga as conservatives say they fear rise in Hinduism

    The Alabama Board of Education voted in 1993 to prohibit school personnel from “using any techniques that involve the induction of hypnotic states, guided imagery, meditation or yoga.”

    Mr Gray’s bill would allow school systems to offer yoga as an elective activity. It says that “all instruction in yoga shall be limited exclusively to poses, exercises and stretching techniques” and that all techniques “shall have exclusively English descriptive names,” according to NBC News.

    Chanting, mantras and “namaste” greetings would be prohibited, the proposed legislation says.
