Your MN Vikings 2019 USB Stadium Food Line-Up

To be flippant, I like plant based meat as well.  2nd hand plants are delicious.
As to accessing grass fed beef, it is out there, but more expensive and less convenient.  As was stated above, cost and convenience rules the day.  And at a stadium, convenience takes over.

all my beef is fed plants,  closest thing you will catch me eating that is considered veggie burger.

I cant say for everywhere,  but the farm to table craze doesnt have to end at a farmer market.  there are beef growers in about every state in the nation and we are pretty much all willing to sell a  whole, half or quarter beef,  people just need to plan ahead a little if they want better quality beef.  Find a rancher in your area that feeds the way you want them fed ( ask them,  they will tell you) and approach him/her.   Mine are all raised to about 1000# on pasture (grass) with a daily ration of ground corn,  and then they go on a corn finisher with free choice grain and hay.

Yup.  I'm all about the middle-man.  Cows eat plants.  I eat cows.  Simple!

I have a brother that is a butcher. His shop has the grass fed beef. It is definitely the best. And it's true that you may pay a little more but it's worth it quality-wise.

Ok this was a very cool thing that happened at the game yesterday. So we went to the Be Graceful cafe. My son and I were checking out the menu. One of the people working asked the chef to come out and answer questions. She was super nice. My son got the Buffalo sliders and I got the Greek salad wrap. It was really good.

Ha!

You probably wouldn't like Cafe Gratitude either...It's one of our faves when visiting our kid in LA. The LA scene has Vegan places that are pretty damn good believe it or not.

Im from the old school and am convinced that alot of todays health issues are do to with preservatives in todays processed foods. Vegan food may have less calories but hey are still full of preservatives.  Give me a steak or a burger any day.

I carry a cross and holy water made from meat packaging around vegetable places.  The only thing better than the taste of meat is imagining it putting up a fight before you get it in your craw.

I'd buy beef from Jimmy but he's a long ways from Idaho!  I typically buy conventionally reared beef and eat it with satisfied smile!  No Fake meat for me!  Interesting that meat has an ideal amino acid profile and more closely matches the amino acid requirements of humans.  Plants have lower quality protein (fewer required amino acids than beef or other meat).  Meat for the win in taste and good nutrition!

I get plants have dietary benefits.  Then eat them.  Don't doctor them with additives and process the heck out of them to make it look like something it's clearly not.  Sheesh...in an era where just the mention of processed foods gets eye rolls and sneers from health nuts, creating fake meat products is highly hypocritical.  You want a hamburger?  For Odin's sake, eat one.  And add lettuce, pickles and tomato while you're at it.

I don't get the making vegetables to look like meat thing.  I worked for a Seventh Day Adventist and they had non meat meatballs, summer sausage and meat patties.  Learned to love a fried egg sandwich.  Never under stood it as they raised cattle and when not on the farm ate steaks and burgers.
