Fake meat is garbage. From Dr. Joseph Mercola at mercola.com:

Story at-a-glance

  • The documentary “Beyond Impossible — The Truth Behind the Fake Meat Industry” argues that lab-grown and cultured meats, as ultraprocessed foods, could pose significant health risks, challenging the perceived benefits of these meat alternatives
  • Fake meats lack essential nutrients found in natural meats, including specific amino acids that are crucial for muscle maintenance and overall health
  • Despite claims of sustainability, studies show that meat alternatives have far greater greenhouse gas emissions than traditional livestock practices
  • Evidence supports regenerative farming methods as far more beneficial for the environment compared to the industrial farming methods upon which ultraprocessed meat alternatives rely
  • The documentary critiques current global policies that push for meat alternatives, suggesting a broader agenda is at play — one that may compromise food security and individual health through increased reliance on ultraprocessed food

The analysis, which included 45 unique pooled analyses and 9,888,373 participants, found direct associations between 32 health parameters and exposure to ultraprocessed food, including metabolic dysfunction, cancer, mental, respiratory, cardiovascular and gastrointestinal issues, as well as all-cause mortality.

    Meatout day in CommieradO does that mean I can bust my meat out? (rimshot)

    Meat is bad because we want you without protein, in bad health and unable to put up any resistance.

    Studies prove that people are tired of studies.

    I’m not confused about the early life and incomplete hat status of Gill Bates. (wink)

    Meat and vegetables, why not both, at the next supper?

    The solution that media won’t tell you:

    Eat Less Move Often (ELMO)

    There is an upside to vegan, the massive flatulence.
