You’ve tried plant-based meat, but here come meat-based plants

South Korean researchers infused actual rice grains with cow muscle and fat cells.

Does it taste like chicken?

I like traditional plant based meats.  Some of my meats also eat meat, but they mostly eat plants.

Brings up a good point. When will there be a public call to eliminate all animal predators? How long will that sin be allowed?

Coming next chicken that tastes like broccoli.

I don't see how beef production is an "ecological disaster".  Please don't show me a link to some "professional" chicken little.  There's always someone who claims doom and gloom, and they almost always leave out the parts that counter-act the doom & gloom part.

From an unbiased standpoint, humans are the ecological disaster.  This planet can only sustain a certain population, and all the "support" we require.  Interesting how "wild-life management" is readily embraced, but managing human life is unthinkable.  I'm not suggesting that we start randomly exterminating humans.  Just remove all the safety labels, and let nature decide.

Yes, by doing things like factory farming.

How else are they going to keep up with the food demand?

Not many want to "regular" farm these days, and why would they?  Very hard work for so little pay.

Eat the plants instead of wasting most of their energy on making meat???  Did I have to type that out?

 Can you please show us how do you eat what is available in open range? Can humans eat hay in the winter? Can you show us recipes with hay as a main ingredient? 

 

 Thanks in advance.

It takes unthinkable amounts of corn to make a pound of beef.  If we used that corn to feed humans instead, it would go a lot further.

 

So, corn dogs, duh.

And if we stopped using the food we grow, to make fuel, well ...... 

[IcePrick]

Corn dogs paired with ethanol shots.  Capture the emissions from metabolization to make non-fossil fuels for corn farmers to use in their tractors.

Dude, corn not so good for humans in large amounts. Makes people fat. I don't eat anything corn.

 

 Seriously, not all land is "plowable" anyway. And even if it was, plowing everything, no grassland, no prairie, no range, etc. would create all kinds of disasters on epic, monumental and biblical scale.

This. We must stop plowing mountain ranges.

When I said "demand", I meant what most people want, not just what will keep them alive.  However, I feel that the latter type of demand is closer than we think, but for completely different reasons.

[SwampNut]

So once again, back to humans are the problem because they demand factory farming?  Adding more plants into the American diet has a wide number of benefits for the humans, the cows, and the overall environment (which in turn is good for the humans).

[tomek]

 How do you turn freshly cut grass into something people can eat without cattle being involved?

Have you ever noticed it's the rabbit food eaters that want to rid the world of meat after they stopped eating it?

Notice I've never said we should get rid of meat, and I changed my position on health aspect long BEFORE I stopped eating it (mostly, I haven't)?

 

I can't speak for others.

People seem to make up an entire narrative in their heads when someone just says facts they don't like.  I was just accused of being anti-EV for posting this...  LOL!

 

Quote

Insurance companies don't work on perception, they work on hard numbers.  EVs catch fire at a vastly lower rate than ICE, but since they are self-oxidizing they can go longer and do more damage per fire.  Also EVs can catch fire while charging, which is often inside the house, and ICE fires are vastly more common while being driven, and not in your house.

NYC has seen a huge number of life-threatening apartment fires from ebike charging.  The numbers prove that the fear is real.

 

 

I spent years denying the evidence that my health would be better with a change in animal consumption (not just meat).  I get it.  Cognitive dissonance hurts.  We have a lifetime of big farming spending billions to tell us lies.

 I've never experienced Big Pork, Big Beef, Big Chicken and Big Cow telling and forcing me to eat meat and dairy. No idea what are you talking about.
