The problem is that it is NOT meat and thus requires different cooking methods than standard meat to be appetizing. Unlike beef, it will rehydrate and become soggy if left to sit in open air for too long or if cooked in a wet recipe. You also have to cook it thoroughly and at higher temps than meat or it will be mushy. It should also be noted that Gimme Lean is fat free unlike many vegetarian products. That’s great if you’re watching your weight/health, but obviously it will lack “punch” compared to greasy products. If you want to try tacos again: bake/microwave the whole tube for a few minutes to harden it. Then chop the solid Gimme Lean into small chunks in a food processor. Fry the ground Lean in light oil and taco spices. Keep it warm till it’s served. Gimme Lean is not a 1:1 replacement for beef, but I think it really is the best meat substitute on the market. I’ve been a vegetarian for 30-some years so I’ve tired quite a few!

Morning Star Farms is one of the prime offenders of the companies that use GMO’S to produce their “food”. (and I use that term loosely) you can find a list of companies that use GMO’S by Googling “who uses GMO’S”
