What makes you think that this is more environmentally friendly than beef?
- LeanderK 10y agowell, intuition. Beef is extremely unfriendly for the environment. Also on their website it says: >Because we use 0% cows, the Impossible Burger uses a fraction of the Earth’s natural resources. Compared to cows, the Impossible Burger uses 95% less land, 74% less water, and creates 87% less greenhouse gas emissions. And it’s 100% free of hormones, antibiotics, and artificial ingredients.
- Mikeb85 10y agoRaising cattle on a mass scale uses more inputs. Mainly because they're fed grain, and caloric value of the inputs is higher than the output (ie. wasted resources), plus the environmental impacts of the cattle themselves. It's not exactly controversial.
