I wonder how much energy it take to produce fake meat....anyone study the energy it takes to powder peas from seeding to beyond meat on a store shelf and the plastics....


Majority of my meat for the house travels 15 miles to a butcher and is ground or cut once and brought home....

Its terribly unfriendly to the environment....

On that exact subject in a previous fake meat thread.

I making the argument that the cost of any product or service is the sum of all energy required to create it, therefore, a safwe assumption that fake meat requires multiple times more energy in total.

What a wonderful propaganda formula the UN has going for it! Who does their math? The basis of their formula is based on information that is misinterpreting from the start! "Agriculture accounts for 70% of freshwater use" - are they including rainfall in that figure? And it's not like agriculture is taking the water out of the CYCLE.

Too many well fed people on our planet. Wish I could whip up a little famine to wake people up.

What a bunch of spaced out losers!!!
Yes a famine is definately needed. Canada should really experience one for a year. You’d get a change in attitude real quick. Population would be decreased not only through hunger but by bullets to the same losers sneaking out to the farms to steal food.

Funny how the fake burger has to call itself a burger to sell? Why not call it what it is a bunch of peas and chemicals compressed and processed multiple times and made to look and taste like that horrible thing called meat because most people like meat????figure that one out. Lol

How safe is that assumption though? I agree with your point on the need to look at the whole picture. I am not aware that the calculation to compare the 2 systems has been done yet - but it needs to be.

By their logic, we need to reject solar panels because they use a certain percentage of sunlight, wind turbines for consuming wind, forests and grasslands for taking a large percentage of sun and water. Will be much better off with just concrete, it uses neither.

Chuck, I never meant to be all inclusive, my bad. But I bet there are protest rallies that have many people who are "invited" to protest a cause they have absolutely no knowledge or opinion of.

And paid for their time

Nice to look at the peta girls occasionally though , lol

Is there much difference between the wheat board people and austranada ?

None
Both pouting about not getting their way and forcing others into their own idealism

[furrowtickler]

So all protesters don't know what they are protesting about? hahaha

It must be comforting to generalize about many things and claim your side only knows the truth.

I am sure you will appreciate the next dumb farmer joke or photo shopped image with the poster assuming all farmers are clueless about environmental issues! That makes about the equivalent point as you are lamely trying to make.

In Australia it seems like farmers have a more enlightened view:
