I don't buy the efficiency argument that is so often espoused by proponents of things like this.
It feels very much like saying that a car would be more efficient if it had no wheels or if it ran on rails. It's true but also misses the point entirely.
I don't live purely to breathe, good food is up there in the top tier of delights in life, along with family, travel, etc. Those are the motivating factors that get me up in the morning.
It all just feels like a huge psychological operation. Consume less, so that someone else can consume more. Why would I willingly give up on everything I enjoy and make myself depressed?

Where in the article is anything even remotely approaching that implied? This is just another form of protein that could be good, tasty, and healthy, and doesn't require animals to produce. There are many reasons this is a good alternative to have. You could eat this for one meal a week, while still eating "real" meat the rest of the time, and help reduce the pressure on our ecosystem just a tiny bit.

- zo1 3y agoIt's not taking them away...yet. That's the point, the conspiracy theorists among us see what's coming down the road and not what's in front of us.
