Impossible Steak Review! How does it Compare to Beyond Steak?

Image
                          Impossible Steak Bites Impossible released a new vegan meat product.  If you are not a frequent shopper at Whole Foods then you may not have known about its release.  This was a quiet drop as I didn’t even receive any marketing emails from Impossible about it.  Impossible Meat is my number 1 brand for alt meat because the products substitute so well for the real deal.  I always thought that Impossible would create a vegan bacon product before doing a steak because its needed. Beyond Meat also has the vegan steak game on LOCK! Beyond Steak is the steak lover turned vegetarian’s dream. There is no other brand that has outdone Beyond Meat’s vegan steak and it is my hope that they will create a full size steak option in addition to their seared tips. The Assessment Now that I’ve boasted about the #1 vegan steak, I’m sure you’re sitting on the edge of your seat and wondering what ve...

Sunflower filled Sunshine at Thompson Strawberry Farm

A fourth generation berry farmer in Wisconsin brightened the lives of many when he and his wife decided to plant sunflower seeds across 22 acres of farmland. The result yielded 2 million sunflowers at Thompson Strawberry Farm. It’s now become a place frequented by visitors wishing to catch a glimpse of the sunshine filled flowers.
As the pandemic hit society, the Thompsons desired to find a way to spread some goodness around and to help others “get away from their reality for a bit.” Sunflowers are heliotropic, meaning that its buds track the movement of the sun. The leaves of the sunflower plant are phototrophic and they respond with growth in the direction of the sun.

Sunflowers have always been associated with loyalty and adoration since the ancient Greek myth of Apollo and Clytie. Apollo being a bit of a “playa playa” had managed to capture the hearts of two women. Clytie experiencing unrequited love told Leucothoe’s father on her. Apollo, in his anger, turned Clytie into a sweet little sunflower.





Even when she was in sunflower form, she loved him. And that is how the sunflower came to be associated with adoration and loyalty. In the same way that sunflowers move to face the sun, Clythie would watch as Apollo moved the sun across the sky.
So that’s all for myth and tales time today!

Visitors have been captured by the sunflower fields ever since Thompson shared photos of the fields on the farm’s IG. Along with the ability to pick raspberries, pumpkins, and strawberries, guests can also pick sunflowers.

For a car load of up to six people, visitors can enter a vast sunflower patch and pick a dozen sunflowers for $25. Get a glimpse of this patch before the season ends in October. Thompson Strawberry Farm really is “The Berry Best Place to Be” right now! If you’re in the Bristol, Wisconsin area now would be a great time to head down and be enveloped in the vitality that only sunflowers can bring.

Nikocado Avocado Woke up 250lbs Lighter! Vegan Again?!

Image
The Mukbang king, Nikocado Avocado, broke his 7 month silence after uploading a video to his channel last night.   He first appeared in the video wearing a big Panda head mask.  Beyond that gigantic panda mask, there was something noticeably different about Nick!   There was a super thin body under the mask!  Could this be a clone of Nikocado?  Is this really the same person who would down several cheeseburgers, nuggets, stuffed tacos and huge plates of noodles in one sitting?  Nikocado is the self proclaimed mukbang king of the internet and with that title came loads of weight gain. It was a real shock to see him slimmer than what he used to be as a vegan.  At the beginning of the video, he stated how he was "two steps ahead."  He went on to say that he had been a part of one of the greatest social experiments of his entire life and likened himself to being a villain of a story where he was able to have significant influence over his fo...
