    And your point of view is?

    Really looks like you are just dumping something anti farming in the Farming & Forestry forum to see what the reaction is without actually bothering to comment on it yourself.

    Point is it's all going a little crazy.

    Stick the thread over in the food or science form if farmers have no interest in something that directly effects them.

    I don't think it's crazy it's realizing that the population can't continue to grow with the same demands on animal products for protein/calories.

    Plant based protein needs to become a bigger part of peoples diet. Most people can't eat a dinner without a piece of meat on their plate or cereal with milk in. This needs to change in my opinion.

    And how would replacing meat/dairy with over processed junk food substitutes help either people's diets or the environment?

    These burgers may taste like meat but you have to think of the people impact by not buying meat.

    Rural Ireland would be further decimated, farmers out of jobs and on the dole. Increase in taxes to pay for it.

    The final nail in rural Ireland which is such a strong part of Irelands identity.

    **** the planet, stop using airplanes and restrict childbirth if you care so much about it.

    People are so concerned about people on the earth in 200 years time and don't give a **** about the people on it now.

    Plant proteins don't have to be ultra processed, you can create a veggie burger without needing help from impossible burger. The mindset in the western world is a meal is incomplete without meat which is wrong.

    Yes indeed, not every meal needs meat/ dairy but this thread is about the impossible burger and it is ultra processed as are many meat/ dairy alternatives.

    Don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with a good veggie burger, but when the food industry tries to make a taste analog of animal products it is always going to lead to a over processed less healthy and often less environmentally friendly alternative.

    Yep plant based does not mean healthy. I am sure there are people out there who will embrace these burgers and think because they are made of plants they are good for you which is mad but in the same way western society has a taste for processed animal junk there is a place for processed plant. Junk food is junk food. I'm not so sure it's less environmentally friendly though. The animal food production chains are long established and have had time to introduce efficiencies. These newer chains are still sorting out production/storage/distribution/reselling etc .
