But according to Ben Bishop, dairy buyer for the store in Cherry Creek, the Beyond Meat "chicken" is a strong seller and "you'll be pretty blown away."
Julianaa Satie, director of the School of Natural Cookery in Boulder, teaches students how to make a less processed meat substitute using gluten and soy. Rather than adding "vegan chicken flavor," she uses the creative process of cooking to impart flavor.
