"Cracker Barrel sparks uproar for plant-based sausage critics say is 'woke'"

"New York (CNN Business)Some of the meat at Cracker Barrel might be
fake, but the beef that it's causing is very real.

On Monday, the chain posted on Facebook about a plant-based sausage made
by Impossible Foods that' Cracker Barrel had added to breakfast menus
earlier this summer. The post sparked strong reactions from its
followers, with many complaining that Cracker Barrel should not be
offering the meat alternative.

"I just lost respect for a once great Tennessee company," one person
commented. Another comment said: "Not going to happen! Cracker Barrel
used to be so good, we looked forward to eating in them but not
anymore," while another person wrote "bad choice." Others expressed
skepticism that the product would taste good. Several commenters decried
the "woke" addition to the menu.

Not all of the reaction was negative, however, with many people thanking
the chain for the option. "I couldn't even tell the difference. I think
it's great for people who can't eat meat for whatever reason," one
person wrote."

lol Seriously? Unless they eat that stuff I can't figure out why
anyone would care for even a fraction of a second? Are they worried
about dining with vegans?
