… 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.

According to one University of Michigan study,
Nope!
It’s a hoax, but eat your bugs anyway.
Many problems would be solved if Associated Ptess would eat their own $hit, instead of feeding it to the public.
Wouldn’t Deep States worldwide love for their populations to be suffering from endemic zinc deficiencies the next time a bug is let loose.
Screw bum
This is one of those things that just keeps getting repeated but has no basis in any kind of research or observation.
Carnivores have existed ever since there have been animals.
Before there were animals, microorganisms consumed other microorganisms.
Obviously, the fact that organisms consume other organisms has not destroyed the earth yet, despite hundreds of millions of years of this activity. So, on what basis do we assume it is suddenly going to destroy the earth?
Also, if humans are naturally herbivores (as rabid vegan/vegetarian rhetoric would have us believe), then why do people have to eat fake meat in order to deceive themselves to stay on a vegetarian/vegan diet?
Another pointless solution to a non-problem.
Seems to me most of the energy is spent in trying to make the meat look like regular meat and the taste is kind of glossed over or qualified in some way.
I refuse to allow the hippies to turn me into a Vegan. “F” ‘em. I’m not eating no hamburger made out of grass clippings.
There is no such thing as plant based meat. This advice is as useful as telling people to drive EVs because electricity is free.
Eating soy lowers testosterone. If you’re a guy and you want a nice pair of man boobs, eat plenty of this plant-based “meat”.
All this fake meat is intended to spike cancer rates and kill off more of the population. No thank you.
Okay, start with McDonald’s first. All hamburger gets replaced with plant-based meat. Try to sell that to their black customers.
None of this, not the war on meat, climate change, CoupFlu policy, is about saving the planet or protecting public health.
Plant-based meat.
Does anyone else see the problem here???
When Bill Gates starts eating this on a consistent and regular basis then I’ll consider it (briefly).
BS.
