Needing to fake meat mouthfeels will hopefully be a short trend. Beyond/impossible requires so much processing to produce a patty (and in the process, potentially losing nutrition), versus mashing beans or grinding insects.
- deworms 5y agoBeyond/impossible "meat" are a mess of extremely heavily processed ingredients infused with a mix of low quality enzyme-treated plant protein broth. Doesn't sound like anything anyone sane would want to touch, but then again most people don't read labels on food, and in some countries (USA) most of the disturbing details (such as inclusion of GMO) are legally allowed to be hidden from the consumers. There's no shortage of reports of these things stinking, bubbling, falling apart, dissolving, and behaving in many other unappetizing ways. Most people will stick to regular meat, which is healthy and delicious.
- jrochkind1 5y agoRight, and vat-grown meat will require even more resources, as per OP, if it were even possible. If people were or could become happy with beans or even ground insects, there would be no purpose to it at all. But when we have plant-baset meat simulation already, there already is no purpose to it.
