Critique:
I think this kind of fake chicken meat is really interesting. That is the main reason I want choice this article to read and I strongly recommend it to my classmates. However, I have several questions with this kind of new food. For one new thing come out, most people will ask is this food safe for them. It is a basic question for a new food and I think this is very important. Also, I am worry about the prise of the product because it makes from a complex way. If this new product bring to market may be it will shock the market and affect some meat companies. I am not sure if this is a good new for all vegetarians. For all vegetarians, they can only eat vegetarian diet and they can not eat meat. I also want to know the meat that make by vegetables will belong to meat or vegetarian diet. If people eat a lot meat they will be very fat, so if people change the diet to eat the fake meat may be they will lose weight. The last one I want to know about the nutrition whether it is balance or not.
