… Eating more plants and fewer animals is among the simplest, cheapest and most readily available ways for people to reduce their impact on the environment, climate scientists have long said. According to one University of Michigan study, if half of U.S. animal-based food was replaced with plant-based substitutes by 2030, the reduction in emissions for that year would be the equivalent of taking 47.5 million vehicles off the road.
An explosion of new types of plant-based “meat” — the burgers, nuggets and other cuts that closely resemble meat but are made from soybeans and other plants — is attracting customers all over the world. Between 2018 and 2022, global retail sales of plant-based meat and seafood more than doubled to $6 billion, according to Euromonitor, a market research firm.
Still, that’s dwarfed by global retail sales of packaged animal meat and seafood, which grew 29% in the same period to $302 billion.
And sales have been uneven. While demand for plant-based meat is growing rapidly in some countries like Germany and Australia, sales have flattened in the U.S.
Colorado-based Meati makes chewy, fibrous steak filets and chicken cutlets from mushroom roots. Its chicken cutlet has fewer calories, less cholesterol and nearly as much protein as animal chicken.
Meati collects spores from mushroom roots, feeds them sugar and ferments them in stainless steel tanks full of water. In four days, a single microscopic spore can produce the equivalent of a whole cow’s worth of meat.

I prefer meat-based veggies.
Cattle/hogs/chickens/turkeys/sheep/goats/etc eat grass and corn.
Therefore, my freezers are all full of plant-based meat.
“They” can stick their frankenfoods right straight up their homo rainbow keisters.
The cholesterol thing is a big scam. The body produces cholesterol and you would die without it.
Cholesterol is a type of fat that is part of all animal cells.
It is essential for many of the body’s metabolic processes, including the production of hormones, bile and vitamin D.

I think we have to many people with to much time on their hands and money in their pockets.
Would think that by raising cattle on a hundred acres of land you would produce much more protein than by growing crops on it.
So TRUE!
But fake meat just leaves you craving the real thing.
How about good ole Boston-baked beans?
Can’t wait plant based filet mignon!
(a) The “elites” esp. Dems will always have all the real meat they want.
(b) plant-based “meat” neither is meat nor does it taste remotely like meat. (I’ve tried a few.)
I eat a lot of plant based meat, beef and chicken.
You win the thread!
if plants are so yummy, why do they keep trying to make them taste like meat?
