Who has money to pay for name brand anything these days. It also doesn’t help that their product sucks. Seriously I had to buy a bag of their chicken wings the other week and the product was mostly breadcrumbs and tiny little chicken drumsticks. These companies practice the worst sort of shrinkflation and then act surprised when people stop buying their product.

shrinking appetite
I think it is shrinking wallet

I don’t know why we don’t make chicken nuggets out of plant protein regularly now. They don’t taste like chicken, they don’t have the texture of chicken, and I honestly don’t think kids care as long as it’s shaped like a dinosaur.
There actually are some good plant-based chicken nuggets out there too. For instance impossible nuggets are pretty good

I think my favorite fake nuggets are “Simulate” brand, and the box always gives me a kick. I don’t like the beyond meat nuggets, but I like their burger patties. Gardein stuff is also good. However, I’ve been a vegetarian so long I’m a bad judge of what tastes like meat.

I seriously stop and chuckle at the box art every time. I’m not really a “nugget” person whether they’re chicken, chick’n, or otherwise, but I adore that box art.
I’m not a vegetarian (yet, I’m working on some food aversion stuff), but my girlfriend is. I’ve actually had the chance to try the Beyond nuggets, and I agree that they’re not that great. The texture just wasn’t right when I had them.

I always give my niece and nephew plant based nuggets. When they ask me what it is i just tell them “nuggets”. They love it.

We do. Just buy wheat flour and wash out the starch. It has wayy more protein than dead animals, its cheaper, its hethier, and it doesn’t cause climate change.

Personally I prefer battered & fried cauliflower with Buffalo sauce

A shame for those who lost their jobs but these mega factories need to go.

Quorn is hands down the best ‘chicken’ nuggets I’ve had

In my case Tyson always gives me heartburn. Oh, that is ignoring how abysmally they treat the livestock.
- anyone_yun ( @anyone_yun@lemmy.ml ) 4•10 months ago
That’s great, more people eating less meat help the environment and it’s also a good ethical choice (imo)
- echo ( @echo@lemmings.world ) 4•10 months ago
It’s a funny thing, but when you’re a huge employer who shits on your employees and price your products out the range of the common person then people quit buying your products.
- library_napper ( @library_napper@monyet.cc ) 1•10 months ago
Or more people give a shit about the climate catastrophe and are buying less meat…
- Poggervania ( @Poggervania@kbin.social ) 1•10 months ago
Why tf would I ever buy Tyson when I could get a whole rotisserie chicken for $5 or 5-6lbs of chicken
boobsbreasts for $15-$20? They both would taste waaaaaaay better than the shit Tyson churns out.
