Eating fake meat gives you boobies.

Swapping animal products for future foods such as insect protein or cultured milk could reduce global warming, water and land use by over 80 per cent, a new study suggests.
Researchers used computer modelling to find the optimal diet combination to meet nutritional needs, while also minimising global warming potential, water and land use.
They found that if people in Europe replaced meat and dairy with foods produced through new technologies, such as making fake steak out of bovine cells, it could significantly reduce all environmental impacts.
Not only that, but it would be nutritionally adequate and meet the constraints for what can be feasibly consumed, according to experts at the University of Helsinki.
They said that alternative diets such as vegetarian, vegan or flexitarian, had demonstrated the health and environmental benefits of shifting towards lower meat consumption.
But novel or future foods (NFFs) — including cultured milk, insect meal or mycoprotein — can contain a more complete array of essential nutrients compared to currently available plant-based protein-rich (PBPR) options like legumes, pulses and grains, according to the researchers.
They said NFFs also tend to be more land and water-efficient than existing animal-sourced products.
Cultured milk is where it has been fermented with lactic acid bacteria such as Lactobacillus, Lactococcus, and Leuconostoc.
This increases the shelf life of the product, while also enhancing its taste and improving digestibility.
'Global food systems face the challenge of providing healthy and adequate nutrition through sustainable means, which is exacerbated by climate change and increasing protein demand by the world's growing population,' the researchers, led by lead author Rachel Mazac, wrote in their paper.
'Recent advances in novel food production technologies demonstrate potential solutions for improving the sustainability of food systems.
'We estimate the possible reductions in global warming potential, water use and land

Get ready for a breakfast of a tube of cricket paste and a bug-u-cino.
I never expect it to see the light of day, only to expose the hipocracy of the GW high priests. We need to end the dystopian society they are creating.
Good. Let those idiots eat and drink that stuff..
I’ll take beef and global warming, thanks anyway!
They literally have no use for anyone from an individualist culture.
Dumbest thing ever. If you started farming insects, you find that they require the same amount of resources as a cow or pig. There would be waste. There would be food. There would be chemicals to keep the critters from dying off early or getting sick. And of course you would need some way to kill off the other animals who would inevitably come and try to eat your huge pile of grasshoppers.
You would also need processing plants to turn it to some kind of unnatural food product. And to surround it with Saran wrap so it can be shipped to grocery stores and purchased. All these things would be required in the end. You would save nothing. The earth would be no cleaner simply by changing species.

All these “intellectuals” proposing all these BS solutions should lead by example or shut the hell up. IMHO.
All that money and that person still looks like Pat, or Sam, or Billie.
Which bathroom do we choose?
When Ernst Stavro Schwab starts eating maggot burgers on a daily basis I might give a fleeting thought to eating insects. Very fleeting.
Will we be able to order it on InsectCart?
always the self-anointed elites want to lower out quality of life. Electric cars, soybean burgers, and now insect protein. I suggest that the author of this bit of drivel lead by example.
Time to pass on bug juice
No, and I will not eat insects.
So will ridding the world of tree huggers. And it won’t induce a gag reflex.
What does it do for Global Cooling?
A few years ago my wife got some dehydrated insects as a gag stocking stuffer for Christmas, I was the only one to try them...
You first, libtards.
Bon Apetit!
