Long-time vegetarian/vegan here. Much as I abhor the killing and consumption of our fellow sentient beings, I enjoy -- and miss -- the taste of most meats. Foods that mimic those flavors are A-OK in my book. They don't harm any critters, and they probably make it easier for carnivores to give up meat.
Thanks for your comment, and for the link. Not sure what I think about lab-grown meat... I'd have to do more research. Personally I would do without it, but if it means killing fewer animals I'm for it -- cautiously.
The Good Food Institute is a quality outfit.

I enjoy reading the updates from https://gfi.org/ and I send them a small amount each month.
Interesting; I'll check it out! Thanks.
Jessica, Have you been reading much about the precision fermentation industry? There's a good chance it will supplant the meat industries by 2030.
No, I've never heard about it... I'd like to investigate; do you recommend any websites/companies?

I also want to tell you how much I admire your thoughtful and well-written publication. Thank you for doing it.
I appreciate your kind words. 🙂
I'm with you. Whatever it takes to save even one poor animal's life.
Very interesting I agree with most of it but really don't think - beyond burger is that different from tofurkey (both try hard to be like meat)- the other thing is its one of only a very small number of veggie burgers that does not contain soy - my friend has a soy allergy. What do you think about lab grown meat? I still feel its not cool - but realistically - could save a lot of animals and resources: https://sentientmedia.org/lab-grown-meat/#:~:text=Lab%2Dgrown%20meat%20is%20grown%20using%20cells%20taken%20from%20an,similarity%20to%20farm%2Draised%20meat.
