Oh and I just prefer a margherita pizza, simple and delicious!

Yes love olives, have been known to finish a jar of them in one sitting!
 
Definitely. I know which I prefer.

Not to scale.

Because when the fast was implemented meat was a luxury. Fish was cheap and easy to acquire and exempt.

I find this illogical and unconvincing. If meat were just forbidden on Fridays because it was a luxury, then most people in an agricultural working class society as Europe was when the fast was implemented wouldn’t be eating meat regularly anyway, so forbidding it on a certain day would neither be penitential for most, nor would it impact the majority of the faithful.
 
Thankfully it isn’t forbidden in my country and we choose our penance.
 
This would be penance for sure!

I wouldn’t eat that if you forced me,

I was quite surprised, the texture and flavor was close enough that I thought “huh… it’s just a Whopper”. Maybe if I had them side by side I could tell the difference, but honestly I’m not sure.

That’s interesting. The real test is whether a cat would eat it.

Cats are mandatory carnivores, so don’t feed an Impossible Burger to one. 🙀

My guess is that it would eat it, but it would probably vomit it out later.

is the plant-based Burger going to be something you’re going out of your way to consume and will it cost more than you would have otherwise spent on meat?

There is NO Church requirement that our meatless meal “cost less than” a meal with meat.

Do not put burdens on people that the Church does not. If that’s your personal practice, fine. But don’t try to tell others that they must do so.

The point of the fast is to give up the luxury of meat.

The point of abstaining from meat (which is not fasting) is that Jesus gave up his flesh for the life of the world. We abstain from warm blooded animals with flesh meat. Fish and reptiles are not warm blooded and do not hand flesh meat like mammals, fowl, etc.

What you’ve written about luxury is not accurate. The original fast was meat and their by products— so cheese, butter, milk, eggs. These are not luxuries. They are staples.
