Popular Post Fat is a type of crazy Posted June 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2023 I like vege burgers for sandwiches e.g. sweet potato, cauliflower, or whatever, for lunch and there are many types now available. The ones that try and be like meat, e.g. hydrolysed soy based fake meat burgers, are not nice. I suppose if this is pretty much meat and tasted fine then why not and save a cow and help the world and all that. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chalawaan Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 It always costs MUCH MORE than real meat. My green credentials end at Broccoli. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoreFarang Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 No - as long as real meat exists why should I try artificial "meat"? It's like eating strawberries or something that is supposed to look like and taste like strawberries. What's the point of eating the imitate? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroveHillWanderer Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Of course - if you don't try something you don't know what it's like. I wouldn't buy it, but I'd certainly try it if offered a free sample. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 I'd give it a go. Over the years I've had loads of vegetarian and even vegan fare, it was universally pretty good, so long as it didn't pretend to be what it wasn't! The "plant-based meat substitutes" are not universally bad (although some were diabolical) so long as you don't expect them to feel and taste like actual meat. To (nearly) quote Douglas Adams they are "something almost, but not quite entirely unlike tea meat". Lab grown meat is actually meat (or at least animal protein), it "should" be pretty realistic. But, if it's twice the price of animal grown meat ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fondue zoo Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 The concept has been around for decades.. apparently British statesman Winston Churchill wrote: "We shall escape the absurdity of growing a whole chicken to eat the breast or wing, by growing these parts separately under a suitable medium." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jvs Posted June 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2023 Big difference between lab grown (real) meat and a veggie burger. I think it will be the future to grow meat in a lab or factory. It will be exactly the same but without bones ,skin and veins. This will free up a lot of land and this can be used to grow food for people instead of cows. Also will be much better for the planet. Price is still high but that is the same with everything new. Bring it on! 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lacessit Posted June 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2023 Protein is protein. The two consumer attributes lab protein would have to satisfy are taste, and competitiveness on price. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The industrial meat production is a other topic...that is wrong, unhealthy, cruel, environmental damaging. We should ban that as good as possible, but we can have everything full with goats, cows, pigs. When I see what many people (not even thinking for restaurants) throw away on eatable food, a few houses together could easily have 1 pig and some chicken. Maybe not having every meal some meat, but when having it having something in good quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll never understand: closing good land with solar panels. Against global warming but make a huge area black.....if afraid of global warming you would paint everything white. But on the same time have all the roofs without solar panels. It would make sense to put solar panels on buildings first and than over already wasted land like parking lots....not on farmland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even if it were the same - why do you eat at all ? 1. To survive, your body need carbs, minerals etc. etc. etc. But then you would like to enjoy what you eat as well - or not ? Otherwise food from a tube like they eat it in space would suffice. And insects are as well a huge question of individual taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes sense to put solar panels on farmland that requires 25 acres to support one sheep, or 100 acres to support a single cow. There's plenty of that land and worse in Australia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would that be un healthy?It would probably be better for your body also. Like they can grow organs in a lab already to replace one that does not work any more. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaosLover Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Back in the states, jackfruit as a burger substitute was a thing in nouvelle hippie places. With enough sauce and lettuce on it, its close. Free Bird Vegan Cafe in Chiang Mai does a good one -but it only costs a bit less than #1 rated Beastburgers real burgers around the corner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
