Primer on Plant-Based Meat

Here’s a good, albeit fairly general, article on plant-based meat: how it’s finding its way onto restaurant menus,  its capacity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, etc.

IMO, the most amazing thing about this whole arena is the taste; I find it indistinguishable from beef, especially served in the context of a burger with the usual accouterments; I was astounded the first time I bit into an Impossible Burger, that’s for sure.  It’s also sometimes served with vegan cheese, which is half-decent as well.

Maybe you’re concerned that one-quarter of our planet-baking emissions comes from food, and this forms a reason to adjust your diet.  Maybe you’re ready to withdraw your support of the unimaginably cruel factory meat industry.  Maybe you want to feel better and live longer by ridding your colon of rotting animal parts.  The reason, or combination of reasons, doesn’t matter.

Doing the right thing for yourself and the world around you normally requires a sacrifice.  That, my friends, is no longer a requirement.
