Here’s your eye-roll for the day.
We’re encouraged to switch beef with Chicken (meh, but OK) cut it with mushrooms (novel, but I’ll pass) veggie burgers (ugh, pass) bug burgers (no, really, BUG burgers) and, finally, in-vitro meat.
Yikes. Talk about your frankenfood. Making food sucky again.
“ The flexitarians, of course. These are the people who are trying to incorporate more plants into their diet and less meat. It may be for health reasons, such as lowering the risk of obesity, heart disease and Type 2 diabetes, or to cut costs.”
I was listening to a podcast about cricket farmers who are quickly farming more protein per (measurement) than we could with large animals. They are selling them to dog and cat food manufacturers which after thinking about it, made some sense. If people are going to complain about feed animals/environmental damage those complaining should consider how much of their own pets eat. Tons of meat goes to pet food a year (yeah, I know the crap pieces, but still.)
Anyway, may be crickets aren’t such a bad idea…
I’d probably try them. Assuming we know what parasites/bacteria live on/in them and if they’re safe for human guts. I don’t want to eat in-vitro meat, though. Hopefully I’ll be dead before that’s a thing.
Speaking of frankenfood, how about cultured meat? I’m curious how that will change things, especially since it should eliminate vegetarian and religious issues with meat.
John the Baptist lived on locusts and wild honey. I can get down with the wild honey, a little hesitant on the locusts. Lol
Climate catastrophe? Really?
Keep seeing articles stating things like that, yeah the polar ice caps are melting because the earths gravity is getting a little weaker and electromagnetic field is getting much stronger, totally natural thing; 4,000 years or so ago their were NO polar ice caps which is clearly evidenced from ancient maps, nothing new!
We just just gotta help fulfill this vegan-agenda-tree-hugger thing, maybe?
If we got away from over-sized portions, there would be more than enough beef for everyone (and, we should be importing more from Australia - they have a LOT of pasture - don’t think they ever did feed their beef corn in the first place?)
We DO need to get away from what we’ve been doing with all of the corn-fed beef.
As for lab-cultured meat. People don’t want to consume GMO’s - why the hell would they ever trust lab-grown meat?
The new Big Mac - brought to you by the trusted folks at McDonald’s and Dow-Corning. 
Correct. This may or may not be tied to the fact that we don’t subsidise the growing of corn…
Corn fed beef or livestock, poultry = saturated fat rather than unsaturated fat
Double dog dare you. 
I tried a roasted cricket once. It didn’t make me gag or anything. The texture was the hardest thing to get past. It tasted like bacon, chicken and an almost burnt almond, all in one.
I’d like to see ya eat yer way through a burger with one of these bugs crawling between the buns!
A cockroach with a MAGA hat? Sounds about right.
I know, I know, no politics, but I couldn’t resist.
Well I’m for buying Aussie Beef as well ( I live in Aust )!!. We have a lot of land ( similar to the US ) , and a lot of cattle. Its possible some cattle are fed grain in transfer feed lots, but pristine land for cattle is not a problem here. …And why pay for grain when grass is free. I live just west of Brisbane, the countries third largest city, and at the largest cattle processor’s site, 10 miles away you can always see cattle grazing on usually fairly lush lands. That’s within around 30 miles of the city centre, imagine what its like a 100 miles away. Well, - remote and natural. Even in the worst drought in a long time, in some cattle areas to the west of here, donations were given to help support the farmers, to buy road trains of hay not grain.
