Here’s the Wall Street Journal’s take on plant-based meat products, including assessments of the Impossible Burger and Beyond Meat, both of which, to me at least, are almost indistinguishable from meat from cows.

Italy’s Ban on Lab-Grown Meat
Apparently, the content of the meme here is true, but the rationale remains unclear. Reports have cited that the measure was taken to protect Italy’s live (soon-to-be-slaughtered) beef industry. I wonder why it’s the province of government to tell us …
Cows and Our Environment
A few incorrect (though fairly unimportant) claims in the meme here: Cow poop creates biodiversity. Wrong. See link. The lifecycle of grass takes CO2 out of the air and replaces it with oxygen. Throughout a 24-hour cycle, the intakes and …

Restaurant Chain Cracker Barrel Called “Woke”
Those unfamiliar with American lower-end eateries may not know of Cracker Barrel, a chain of country-themed restaurants, mostly found in the southeast portion of the nation (read: red states). As one might suspect, patrons are generally not gourmets with high-powered …
Yet Another Way that Cows Bring Peril to Our Lives
With all our posts here on phasing out beef in favor of plant-based meat, I couldn’t resist publishing this photo, the result of a handful of cows that found their way into a newly built home and lived in it …

Reel Toilet Paper, Made from 100% Sustainable Bamboo
It would be interesting to know the LCA (life-cycle analysis) of this product. True, it doesn’t cause trees to be harvested, and let’s suppose the loss of the bamboo has zero ecological impact. But how much energy is required to …
