Sodium isn't really an issue for most people, and personally I disagree. I think it tastes good. Definitely has a bit of a pea smell. I order it over a beige paste made of as many as 100 to 1000 cattle if I'm out at a fast food place. Won't replace a steak of course.

Let's face it most ground meat in the US by volume is shit, bottom tier stuff. Nobody would notice if it got swapped out at a Taco Bell.

Taco bell "meat" is the lowest grade allowed for human consumption and only a fraction of the substance identified as meat comes from beef muscle. Their "meat" products have a shit ton of cellulose powder (horse hair and tree pulp) mixed in it and they admit that 12% of the volume is "spices." What is that BS? There is no need for that much spice.

There were news reports about it a while back. Just do a google search and you can find plenty of articles on it.
