      Not just beans I’m afraid. The amount of protein we need in our diet is very little compared to what people eat. People want to eat nothing but meat it seems and I find that to be highly concerning.

    I don’t understand the reluctance from a lot of people with this if it’s the exact same as ‘real’ meat. Once the price drops down and is available in the UK I’d be interested in mostly opting for this since i’ve never been able to make the switch to vegan/veggie

    I don’t see how it can be worse. “Energy to create the nutrients and maintain temperature for the cells” is something both the chicken and the lab have to spend. I’m happier to have a lab create meat from the cells up than farmers doing their best to create sacks of muscle that can’t stand up with a poor little head poking out the top, “full-grown” and killed in six weeks. Both are working to be more efficient, but it doesn’t look as good on a living being.

      Neither system is good imo, that’s why I think we should look at plant based meat alternatives instead, or just eat plants
