Method acting — a controversial acting approach that has been highly discussed in Hollywood for decades. By
definition, it’s an acting technique when an actor aspires to complete emotional identification with a role or
character for a project. But throughout the years, it has been a divisive topic with industry veterans on either side of
the debate.
Director, actor, and acting coach Lee Strasberg, dubbed the “father of method acting,” was always open about his
approval of the technique. He often theorized that it was important for an actor to have a connection between their
own real-life experiences as humans and those of their characters.
On the other hand, some actors have expressed aversion to the acting approach. Most recently, Succession star
Brian Cox blasted the idea of totally immersing oneself in a performance to the point of obsession. But, no matter
where one stands on the debate, actors are always testing out new techniques, even if it’s not going full method.
Jennifer Lawrence, for example, has previously said she is quite apprehensive about method, but opened up about
how her techniques as an actress have changed throughout her career after working with fellow stars such as
Christian Bale, who has been known to embrace the intense acting method.
Text 2
Method acting and character acting are two approaches to developing a character. While they differ in technique
and process, both require discipline and focus to achieve a successful performance.
Method acting, or “the Method,” originated with Russian actor and director Konstantin Stanislavsky and was
further refined by Lee Strasberg, Stella Adler, and Sanford Meisner. According to the Lee Strasberg Theatre and
Film Institute, the Method “trains actors to use their physical, mental, and emotional self in the creation of a
character and stresses the way in which personal experience can fire the actors’ imagination.” By focusing on an
actor’s personal connection to a character, this allows the actor to draw on real emotions and experiences to
inform their performance. This approach requires intense focus and preparation since the actor must be in tune
with their emotions and use them to guide their character’s decisions and actions. Because of method acting’s
source material—an actor’s physical, mental, and emotional self—this approach generally works well with
dramatic, realistic characters.
Character actors specialize in creating unique characters and must “create a specific plan rather than work from
themselves.” They often develop a persona with mannerisms, accents, and quirks that are specific to the character
rather than the actor. This approach requires actors to dedicate time to study the role, learn about the character’s
history and personality, and then build a foundation for how that character might act. Character actors often spend
more time working offstage with makeup, costume, and other departments to develop their character’s physical
persona and how they represent visually.
Method acting and character acting use different approaches to the craft, but the two techniques can be applied to
virtually any character. While method acting is generally associated with lead roles and character acting is
associated with supporting roles, there is no hard and fast rule that says they can’t be used interchangeably. Both
acting styles require that actors study a character deeply and understand their motivations, backstory, and
psychology. Actors using either approach might choose to stay in character for prolonged periods of time on and
off the set to help them further develop and connect with the character. Both methods draw on the text for
inspiration and insight into characters and their worlds.

Impossible Food Inc. also known as “Impossible” is a company, based in Redwood City, California, makes plant-
based meat products with tastes and texture similar to that of original meat. They are specialised in several
products such as burgers, meatballs, pizza, tacos, and bao and many other foods. Their meat products are not only
distinguished by their taste and texture, but they also propose an equal nutritional profile as that of real meat to
the people to eradicate the supposed negative health impacts of real meat and the certain environmental impacts
associated with livestock products. Impossible uses modern science and technology to make a healthy and
nutritious food system.
The company's signature product, the Impossible Burger, was launched in 2016. This burger has no hormones,
antibiotics, and has a delightful pork flavour. It is added with vitamins from granules, vegetables and seeds, fats
and a few acids to revive sustainably viable meat. Presently, their products are accessible in a few states in
countries like Hong Kong, Singapore, and the United States of America.
Impossible Foods Inc. is on a mission of provide products for not only the people present in the first category that
are concerned with harmful environmental effects due to animal farming, but also for the people present in the
second category by making their plant-based meat products taste and feel exactly the same as that of real meat
and provide a more healthy category for everyone as well as for the planet. Hence the concerns regarding tastes
were answered by Impossible with their Impossible Burger and other plant-based meat products. But to
accomplish such a huge feat, Impossible Foods chose the perfect constituents for making a burger (plant based
meat patties) taste the same as real meat patties.

There is nothing quite like biting into a freshly made BLT sandwich or a juicy hot dog at a summertime cookout.
But since eating too much meat, especially processed meat, is linked to unsavory health outcomes, it makes sense
why people may want to find alternative foods that can provide them with the same satisfaction of eating these
classic foods without the risks. Because of this, plant-based bacon, sausages, hamburgers, hot dogs, meatballs
and a slew of other meat-based favorites made in plant-based form have been created. And because the term
"plant-based" is included in these items, many people assume that they are healthy choices, with some experts
saying that animal welfare claims are interpreted as health-supporting.
According to a study published in 2021 in Nutrients, before plant-based meat alternatives were available, those
who chose to eat less meat and opt for more plant-based protein choices leaned on single-ingredient foods like
tofu, lentils and nuts, and the resulting dishes prepared were made with minimal oil and salt. In contrast, plant-
based sausages, burgers and nuggets are more frequently fried, made with salt and "filler ingredients" that don't
offer a nutritional benefit and are often consumed with low-nutrient sides and condiments. Data from the article
shows that regularly including these ultra-processed plant-based meats could potentially lead to higher calorie,
fat, and salt intake.
In fact, according to results of the 2021 study that compared the nutrient intake of those who followed a
traditional omnivore (meat-eating) diet, flexitarian/vegetarian diets that include traditional plant-based proteins
like beans and nuts, and flexitarian/vegetarian diets that include plant-based meat alternatives like meatless
bacon, researchers found significant differences among those who included these novel plant-based meat items.
Specifically, they found that those who consumed plant-based meats fell below the daily requirements for
calcium, potassium, magnesium, zinc, and vitamin B12. Plus, those eating these foods exceeded the reference
values for sugar, saturated fat and sugar. This group did consume more fiber than the meat-eaters.
Unlike those following a diet replacing meat with plant-based meats, those who replaced meat with plant-based
protein sources like beans, legumes, and nuts met all daily micronutrient requirements. So, while the protein
intakes were similar among all diet groups, intakes of other nutrients varied, and the results didn't ultimately show
that those who opted for plant-based meats saw a major health advantage.
