I encountered these at the cafeteria at work and thought "Wow, a Paleo/Primal brand." Then I read the ingredients. These guys should change the name of their product. What do you think?

I saw one of these at the checkout of the local health food store and got all excited.

But then I read the ingredients. :(

The sad thing to me is how far this is from "whole foods." It's like, if you want a snack, eat an orange... Vegetarianism or veganism as concepts don't really bother me, except when they're invoked to support this sort of industrially concocted ersatz food. I remember vegetarians in college who'd go to McDonalds and order a hamburger with fries and a coke, and ask for no patty, and pat themselves on the back for "eating healthy," because, doncha know, the french fries were fried in vegetable oil and not that unhealthy beef tallow. le sigh.

Or the vegetarians who rave about the bean burritos at Taco Bell. – trjones May 25 at 13:36

I like how they feel that they need to go out of their way to rename gluten as "wheat protein".

Not only that, but it's "vital" gluten. – Wisper May 26 at 0:39

Meatless vegan foodstuffs. Nice! Where do I sign up? How about a side of Paleo Tofu and we can wash it down with an ancestral Dr. Pepper.

Looks like garbage to me. Educating your self is vital. It is the only way not to fall for false marketing.

These makers of this should be commended for being hilarious.

I saw these the other day and couldn't believe the ingredient list. And vegan? No, thank you. Bring on the real jerky.

Yeah! Marinated grass fed flank steak, thrown in the dehydrator...yum! – TonkLover May 25 at 22:55
