Just wondering what the consensus would be. Is it good and fine (if you like the taste, of course) because it is truly 100% vegan? Or would y'all consider it a horrifying simulacrum of a product of cruelty towards animals?

I am asking because I'm a vegan chef and I was excited to find out that they're making animal-free "dairy" milk through bacterial/fungal fermentation, because plant based "milks" don't really work the same as cow milk does. And theoretically if it has the right proteins/fats it could be used to make vegan cheese that has the actual properties of cheese? So like I think it's very exciting personally. But I'd like to know what others think before I suggest we try to order some, since it'd be a waste if nobody actually wanted to eat anything made with it.

There was someone trying to start an unnecessary struggle session awhile back that said even having things like impossible burgers is wrong because burgers are associated with meat. Some people just like unnecessary drama for any reason

Not quite the same, but either Impossible or Beyond taste tests against real meat when they release new products. Idr which. So I get opposition to them, but on different grounds.

Random side note but we got some kinda "beef" crumble at work a while back, i THINK it was impossible branded but i don't remember, i just remember it was made out of pea protein and it tasted very beefy to me. Like i'm reasonably certain if I made like chili with it and told people it was beef chili they'd have no idea they just ate vegan food
