Isn’t it nice to enjoy a barbecue? It is, especially when there is food you like. When it comes to meat, you always think that you’re eating a dead animal’s body. Or are you?

Have you ever heard about plant-based meat? Doesn’t that seem weird? Plant-based meat was created in the 1970s.

Who made plant-based meat? Who would have the idea to make such weird food? Impossible Foods made it. To make it, they had to make it look, taste, smell, and feel like meat. Thankfully, they had the ingredients to do so.

Since a post about the plant-based food was posted, thousands of comments came in.

“Oh Noes… the Cracker Barrel has gone WOKE!!!” one Facebook commenter wrote. “It really is the end times…”

“All the more reason to stop eating at Cracker Barrel,” another commenter wrote. “This is not what Cracker Barrel was to be all about.”

How can such a post get so many comments? How did it get so popular? How did it attract so much attention? No one knows yet. Maybe plant-based is the future?

“This comment section is further proof we need to focus more on mental health in the country and get more people into therapy for anger issues,” a Facebook user commented.

“I often wonder if Mark [Zuckerberg] envisioned that his little project to rate girls on the internet would turn into a forum for thousands of old people to yell at Cracker Barrel for adding a menu item they didn’t want,” added another user, referring to Facebook’s origins and founder.

Impossible Foods has a good name and provides meat that vegans can eat. Even one post about Cracker Barrel having plant-based meat has started a war. There was a huge debate about keeping it on the menu or removing it. What will happen?
