Rob R This is a hit job on the meat industry disguised as an experiment. I should've realized it in the first episode when they chose a trainer for these twins who has never eaten meat. That seemed like an extremely rare find and an odd choice, but I didn't catch it. I realized it was a hit job during the 2nd episode when this "twin experiment" changed to bashing meat producers and the episode didn't tie back to the so-called experiment (3/4 of the episode focused on how bad meat and meat producers are for the world). For a several minutes I thought it was a different show. Then the 3rd episode continued on this trend. I knew the outcome before starting the 4th episode, so instead of paying attention, I researched who funded this and found that 2 of the financing organizations strongly promote veganism and a 3rd financier is a specific department from Stanford University where the founder of Impossible Foods is a professor emeritus (he's also featured in this show). I also read that the EP is a vocal vegan and the lead researcher in the show from Stanford has received funding from Beyond Meat (a plant-based manufacturer similar to Impossible Foods). Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/24 Full Review Audience Member Unwatchable relic of psychedelia and self-indulgence, redeemed from a zero rating by brief appearances by Tiny Tim.
