he National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023 authorizes taxpayer funds for the U.S. Department of Defense to research and develop plant-based proteins for members of the military.
The congressional legislation, H.R. 7900, establishes a “Pilot Program on Research and Development of Plant-based Protein for the Navy.”
The bill stipulates that by March 1st, 2023, the Secretary of the Navy “shall establish and carry out a pilot program to offer plant-based protein options at forward operating bases for consumption by members of the Navy.” Plant-based protein options are defined as “edible vegan or vegetarian meat alternative products made using plant and other non-livestock-based proteins,” according to the bill.
At least two naval facilities will be made to participate in the pilot program and “prioritize facilities where livestock-based protein options may be costly to obtain or store.”

These are the good old days. No one ain’t seen nothing yet.
Pale horses, famine, pestilence, trans-totalitarianism, dams bursting, nukes and sabotaged infrastructure, social scores down to the single thought..
Forget that optimism. Here it comes.

According to Patrick O’Brian who wrote Aubrey-Maturin book series, the Royal Navy had ‘Banyan Days’ during the Napoleonic Wars. I think they were twice a week where they were served pease porridge instead of salt beef or pork. They did get their rum ration however.
