Switching from red meat to a fungus-based alternative like Quorn for one-in-five meals could HALVE deforestation by 2050, study claims

Scientists in Germany have investigated the environmental impacts of replacing meat with microbial protein – an alternative food option produced by microbes such as fungi in fermentation tanks.

Results show the public shouldn't feel pressured to 'only eat greens', as they can make a big environmental difference just by eating meat alternatives infrequently.

Mycoprotein is one example of a microbial protein. It is produced from fungi and found in Quorn, a vegetarian meat substitute product already found on the supermarket shelves.

"“Scientists in Germany”.

That phrase should send shivers up your spine.

Weren't they just trying to make the world a better place?

Sarcasm on.

We will force the elites to eat bugs and fungus. And be happy.

WILL. NOT. COMPLY.

I'm off to buy some more beef from our local cattleman.
