They also go on to say that will not be used in the future, it is just what they were using at the time this approval process started. So it will likely be more acceptable in the future. As a meat eater, this is very interesting to me. I try to be as environmentally responsible as I can when it comes to meat, but its still all bad really. I cannot go more than a few days tops without animal protein, or I start to get weird cravings. Could I eventually get past it? Probably, but not interested in doing so. But I certainly am interested in more environmentally friendly options, if they are safe and economical.

"I cannot go more than a few days tops without animal protein, or I start to get weird cravings" Have you tried many vegetarian meat substitutes? When I talk to meat eaters about this, many of them haven't tried many at all, and if they had tried anything it's maybe one product ten years ago. The world of vegetarian meat substitutes has exploded in recent years, and there is just so much variety these days, many of them are really incredibly delicious and I'd stack them up against most meat any day. Ok, they might not be 100% accurate, and tend to lack the blood, veins, gristle, skin, fat and bones of authentic meat products, but I think most people can live without those, if not even actively want to avoid some of that.

  Yeah, I have. Although never as the only thing I eat for a longer period. So I suppose that would be an interesting experiment. I actually really like the impossible burger, not as much as a real one, but I have ordered it on multiple occasions. Beyond is ok. And I have had some great black bean burgers, but they don't quite hit the spot. I also probably don't have the correctly balanced diet when I have done that in the past. And I have found a protein heavy diet is what my body prefers, and carbs are not super great for me. End up heavy and tired. And the vegetarian / vegan stuff we have done in the past have been far to carb heavy for me. And I love cheese. Mac and cheese, alfredo, things like that. And I have yet to find a substitute that is acceptable to me in the cheese department. Although I have been able to cut back on the dairy the last few weeks, so its possible I could eventually cut it out. That just hasn't been on my priority list.
