How many of these "fake" foods/ingredients hv u eaten?
I hv eaten crab sticks previously but not in a long while. Still sold in supermarkets here probably but not served at many eating establishments tat iv noticed in last 10/15 yrs. More prevalent yrs ago.

With 8 billion ppl worldwide, there's just not enuf real blueberries, Truffles, Cinnamon, pumpkins, Wasabi, Vanilla plants, Caviar, Honey, seafood, Extra virgin olive oil to satisfy human demand. I hv no end notes​

I have known about almost all of these fake foods for quite a long time. One I didn't know was fake was truffles; but I have never eaten that.

I'd still eat even if it was fake or fresh frozen.

Im curious-is imitation crab meat widespread or on sale in supermarkets/groceries/stores where u r now? As said above i see it much less nowadays compared to yrs ago here. Not sure why tho.

it's pretty widespread but I wouldn't say it's common
it's still sold in the deli section in most australian supermarkets

Possibly i hv just missed seeing/noticing it on sale here.i rmbr it being more ubiquitous earlier on previously. Im guessing it just not as saleable/profitable/easily-produced compared to yrs ago or ppl prefer more familiar seafood ie recognizably fish-y/crab-y food as oppossed to crab-sticks which is now commonly/more widely recognised as not hvg any crab meat at all.also wikipedia says price rocketed ard. 20/30 yrs ago but memory doesnt rmbr when it was more ubiquitous here, or when it started seeming less so. It also says SEA started producing surimi but not when it did so.

Every body (non-micro organisms) eats plastic now, according to reports iv read.its probably everywhere except outer space, volcanoes, icebergs(tat are decades old at least, deep in the oceans, n probablt not deep below surface level/groubd/earth.
