Not for me. Even if I ate meat- which I don't.
Makes me wonder, though, if the environment continues to be destroyed could this be a way to feed people.
I shudder to think we could all be heading that way.

I saw this in a show a couple years ago...don't remember what show it was, but maybe it was Bizarre Foods, as it really is Bizarre! lol
I thought the high price was funny - I guess some people with phobias are willing to pay anything, for the guarantee of sterility.

There were big new stories a year or so ago about a couple of fast food chains using these non meat products instead of real meat.

kimmsrđź•Š, I wonder which ones. It seems a pretty expensive product.

Widely used, mumsey, according to this. "It’s possible you’ve heard of the Impossible Burger. Heralded as a bleeding veggie patty that looks, tastes and even sizzles like meat, the product is sold in almost 2,000 restaurants—stretching across the bun-slinging continuum from Bareburger to White Castle."

Industrialized farming is responsible for a large share of today’s air pollution, water pollution, deforestation, rising carbon emissions and the depletion, erosion and poisoning of soils. Does that mean we should give up farming? And start making our food in chemical labs? Biotech start-up companies like Impossible Foods would have us believe that their fake meat is the answer to all our prayers. But is it? The jury is out on the long-term health consequences of consuming lab-grown meat, the meat substitute created by Impossible Foods, and derived in part from genetically engineered yeast. But this we do know: Real—and regenerative—farming, not lab-grown fake food, has the power to clean up the environment, revitalize rural communities and economies and provide enough nutritious, real food to feed the world. www.organicconsumers.org/news/ditching-nature-favor-fake-food-not-solution-destructive-factory-farming |
