Got Plant-Based Milk?

Impossible Foods is no longer just focused on creating alternative meat products. The company has recently announced at a press conference that they are planning on creating plant-based milk. That’s right. Artificial milk, and they will call it Impossible Milk.

According to the company, it is not designed to be just another soy milk or nut-based milk alternative. Instead, it’s designed to function and behave just like the animal-derived cow’s milk.
In a demonstration from the company’s food lab, a researcher showed samples of Impossible Milk side by side [with] other plant-based milks like almond milk and soy milk, to show that the Impossible Milk looks much more like cow milk than the others. According to her, Impossible Milk is designed to be just as creamy as regular milk, and will not curdle in hot beverages like other plant-based milks will. She demonstrated this by mixing it in a cup of hot coffee, and it did not appear to curdle. Impossible Milk can also apparently be frothed just regular milk.
[...]
Impossible Milk is still very much in the development phase, and won’t be available for consumers any time soon.

Skipping milk would only be cutting off the bais for a wide variety of diary products...
t is just ot milk, it is also, cream, butter, buttermilk, curd, joghurt, and cheese...
And there is not only this cow milk, sheeps, goats and water buffalos also provide different kinds of milk, giving also different kinds of cheese...
And without milk and its product nobody would understand this:

Nice to see that people think this just must be 'shopped because it looks so freakish. But like one guy says over there- this pic was taken with a tele lens, so the effect of the deforming looks even more severe than it already is.

But reading the newslinks they provide over there, they had a rather huge problem.

A quick youtube search for the naysayers:

Trust me, having lived through this quake I can tell you that this damage is not at all surprising. The earth shook in a lateral movement. There was very little "up and down". For the record, the quake yielded 648 kilotons of energy, and was only 20 miles deep. Thats the equivalent of 45 Hiroshima bombs, practically directly below where this image was taken.

Bullshit. This pic does not show quake damage, it shows new track being built. Notice the tire ruts, fence line, etc. that are not deformed. I've seen other pics of tracks after earthquakes; the info in the article is correct, but the pic is the result of a lazy reporter I think.

Indeed, fake, and a good Photoshop attempt.

So, what happens to gravel when shaken? It gets flung quite widely. Steel rails will bend, but not get stretched, unless under a high temperature to make it pliable. They would be straight, lying in pieces, scattered like gravel. Nice try.

Artor and tdcpunkology what about that 'tube that philfy posted? Also fake? Seems philfy was there and you guys not. This is just like saying hey that quake was fake because lots of houses didn't have damage, so the ones that are damaged are fake and must have been Shopped.

To all of you "Photoshop" people out there. The photo and explanation is genuine. You may want to learn about the energy released during a 7.0 earthquake.

How about simply Googling that Earthquake and seeing the complete damage it did.

What you see in the image is a compression failure, not a fault movement deflection. This is why the rest of the landscape is not deformed. This makes it extremely dangerous as those rails are still under extreme pressure to remain deflected as they are, like a spring.

I would guess in order to repair those rails, they'd have to place cutting charges on them and get the heck out of Dodge.

The quake was a fake. Count the pixels. There are extra ones on the area where the green grass suddenly appears out of the purple stuff beside the fault-line. And why are the sheep still standing?

I came up with 42 extra pixels.

Nuff said.

We like a lively debate here at Neatorama, but draw the line at name-calling and attacks against other commenters. A couple of comments have already been deleted. If there is any more nastiness directed at other Neatoramanauts, this thread will be closed -and possibly some violators banned. OK?

A quick google for NZ earthquake and railroad yielded the above link.

It has a great photoshop, they even turned the locomotive over in it.

Here's a great one. The second picture on this link is a different angle of the same deformed track. The angles apear even sharper from the new perspective, and imposible to photoshop.

Remember: Google is your friend.

and, once again cos people just don't seem to get it:

Watch the first 10 seconds of this vid. Nothing fake about it. Try living through a 7.1 quake and then you are qualified to call whatever you want.

I can assure you that this is not fake. As someone who experienced this earthquake firsthand a couple months ago this sort of thing is the norm as you walk around Christchurch and drive around the Canterbury region.
