I had them air fried before, and if you really inspect them and think about it you can tell they aren’t chicken (from the texture but the taste is identical IMO). But I had them fried in a deep fryer this weekend and they were indistinguishable from real chicken nuggets. I am flexitarian so it’s not like I haven’t eaten a chicken nugget in years, they are legit. Definitely recommend trying them if you are trying to cut your meat consumption or even if you are just curious.

They make animal shaped and spicy versions too

    The issue with “labels” is when, every time you use a label, you end up having to explain what it means anyway. “Flexitarian” might be a good label amongst groups of people who commonly discuss vegetarian/vegan/other diets and understand the vocabulary, but it’s confusing to a broader audience. Much like any jargon.

    If it’s a broadly understood label, it makes sense. If it’s a relatively niche one, it’s counterproductive.

      Broad use doesn’t just happen, though. It comes over time. Broadly used labels often start as niche ones.

      And a simple google search would likely explain it, it even has its own wikipedia page.
