Thread: Dehydrated meals

End of the day it's their company and they can run it how they see fit, the model obviously works well for them.
Anyhow, tried the Indian curry last night. Managed to get one fork load down the hatch and that was me done, yuck. Might be some people's cup of tea but certainly not mine.

Wasn't my intention Ryan, sorry about that. I see Mike on a regular basis, he's a good friend. I guess knowing Mike and his background, he's hardly the woke type.

In regards to meat. If you can picture an Olympic cycling team from NZ, they're traveling to Egypt for an international event. They're fully loaded with all of their meat based Radix meals which give them the exact nutrients they need to perform. On arrival to Egypt they have all of the meals confiscated as meat is banned in said country. This obviously creates a huge problem for international athletes travelling worldwide. With plant based there is no issue with this. Each country has their own strict rules around meat products being brought into each country, its a major headache for a brand like Radix.

I had some back and forth with Ryan when he first started moving to meat free. The reason you give here wasn't one he used at the time, however I'm sure it's based on a culmination of things.
The point I tried to make to him is that the super refined, vegetarian meals generally taste like crap and have poor texture. Some people want to enjoy their dehy meals but Ryan obviously thinks this number of people is not worth catering for. It's certainly helped the likes of Real Meals gain market share.....
