Taco bell will start serving power protein instead of meat

[Anonymous No.4586652]

>shows that 43 percent of conversations about “meat” over the last six months were negative and often included such words as “bad,” “concerns,” and “problem.”
>On the other hand, only 6 percent of conversations about “protein” were negative. Most people associated it with words like “good”, “healthy,” and “delicious.”
That doesn't mean people want to eat some unknown "protein" sludge that scientists created.

Fucking retards in marketing.

SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE PROTEIN!!!

As long as it tastes like meat I really don't care.

>implying meat at taco bell

[Anonymous No.4586696]

It's still the same fucking meat. This is a marketing change, not an ingredient change.

So when am I going to eat a lab grown meat patty?

I was under the impression that it's a completely new product they're introducing.

The article clearly states that they are going test this new product out, in the second paragraph.

At the end it says this is part of taco belles commitment to making their menu healthier by 2020.

Because you're a retard with zero reading comprehension?

>The article clearly states that they are going test this new product out, in the second paragraph.

It sure does. What does it say, exactly?

>a new “Power Protein” menu in Ohio aimed at health-conscious consumers. It will include items with more than 20 grams of protein and less than 450 calories per serving, such as a burrito and a bowl, both served with a double portion of chicken or steak.

>both served with a double portion of chicken or steak.

>chicken or steak

Sounds like protein power to me. Jesus fuck, you're dumb. No wonder they have to fuck with their marketing language if people like you are their audience.

How are you this retarded. Lab-grown meat technology is in its infancy and a lab-grown patty costs like 30000 dollars.

I'm still going to eat Taco Bell because it's delicius.

Lol so how is an ingredient addition, you say protein powder, not ingredient change?

If you change the ingredients to a taco, add, subtract or substitute. That's a changerooski bud!

Also don't be mad bruh, it's just fast food. We appreciate passion for food around here but don't get mad

I dunno maybe your right. I just read another article that said they aren't using different ingredients.

I'm an asshloe please rape my face.

Protein power, not powder.

[Anonymous No.4587579]

power protein makes me think of a caffeinated meat paste

[Anonymous No.4587614]

I'd rather not rape anyone's face. But it's definitely just a case of their marketing dept. going, "Hey, people think our meat is bad an unhealthy." "Should we change the way we do things?" "Fuck no, we'll just call it 'protein' on our menus and people will think it's got something to do with health food."
