    We’re long past the point where focusing on just one or two sources of carbon is enough. Everything needs to be examined. We can choose a more sustainable diet AND curb mindless consumerism.

    Also, I find the impossible/beyond burgers to be pretty good. I dunno what you’re on about with “bug protein”. At worst, they’re made from yeast but plant material otherwise?

        When the vegetable meat costs more than the animal meat, I can feel the “I’m being ripped off”. Make fake meat cheaper than real meat and I’ll eat it all day long.

          Animal meat is subsidized heavily, plant meat is not. All we’d have to do is stop subsidizing animal agriculture and start subsidizing more plant alternatives.

          I don’t know why this is downvoted. It seems perfectly reasonable to me as someone who has managed to cut most of the meat out of my diet. We definitely need affordable alternatives. Real meat is cheaper right now and that is the deciding factor for a lot of people.

          Hopefully we will see this change soon.
