What Is Fake Meat?

Fake meat is a meat “alternative” that is made of plants, but designed to taste like meat.

Different Types Of Fake Meat

Impossible burger-

Water, Soy Protein Concentrate, Sunflower Oil, Coconut Oil, Natural Flavors, 2% Or Less Of: Methylcellulose, Cultured Dextrose, Food Starch Modified, Yeast Extract, Soy Leghemoglobin, Salt, Mixed Tocopherols (Antioxidant), L-tryptophan, Soy Protein Isolate

Beyond burger-

Water, Pea Protein, Expeller Pressed Canola Oil, Refined Coconut Oil, Rice Protein, Natural Flavors, Dried Yeast, Cocoa Butter, Methylcellulose, Contains 1% or Less: Potato Starch, Salt, Potassium Chloride, Beet Juice Color, Apple Extract, Pomegranate Concentrate, Sunflower Lecithin, Vinegar, Lemon Juice Concentrate, Vitamins and Minerals (zinc sulfate, niacinamide [vitamin B3], pyridoxine hydrochloride [vitamin B6], cyanocobalamin [vitamin B12], calcium pantothenate)

They also add a lot of coloring and additives to the ingredients that are on those lists to make it meat like.

Why They Want You To Eat Fake Meat-

They say that it’s healthier than real meat, and better for the environment. The claim that it’s healthier is objectively false based on the fact that it’s classified as an ultra processed food based on the ingredients above. The claim that it’s better for the environment is also objectively false. It takes a lot more energy to manufacture fake meat because it’s ran by factory farms. Not to mention, the GMO crops are heavily sprayed with glyphosate, and a host of other chemicals, which is of course great for the environment. Lastly, there is a monopoly of about six companies that grow all the conventional food. Six companies for about eight billion people is not a good idea. They want to run food like an algorithm.

Regenerative Agriculture–

What is regenerative agriculture?

Regenerative agriculture is the process of restoring the environment through agriculture. The soil has the ability to store green house gases and fight climate change. The problem is that the soil has been destroyed through our current practices. So much so that data shows we on have about 60 harvests left if we do nothing. With the soil being decimated, the green houses gasses go up because there is not as much to sequester carbon.

Is it Possible to Feed the Expanding world in a Regenerative Way?

There is a myth that we can’t feed the expanding earth in a regenerative way and have to use other methods. This is absolutely not true. The numbers that say this come from the land we use for feed lot beef, which is unsustainable. In contrast however, pasture raised beef actually creates more grassland and restores our environment. Growing more land means more animals and agriculture. We have about 5 billion Hectares of land, which is more than enough to feed the population.
