[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2076564, member: 196898"] We do have choice today as you say, but we may not have this freedom for much longer. When governments sign up to an 80% reduction in meat, they mean by restricting choice through legislation and taxation. This is starting with may's parting gift in the name of climate Change in the next month or so. I have no problem with someone promoting plant based proteins, but I do object to them calling it meat or cheese as if it has the same or better nutrient values. It does not. We are being duped into thinking that eating impossible burgers instead of meat burgers is a healthy option, but so far these products are nutrient deficient and are NOT substitutes for an established foodstuff. In general plant based micronutrients such as vitamins are not as biovalent as animal based ones. So Vit A from beta carotene is hardly absorbed in the human body and a lot more is needed to have any effect to compare to one meat product. It is this deception that I find worrying since the general public are not informed about this, and cannot make an informed choice. It is not just about whether it looks like, or tastes like or smells like that is important. I can use that same description to describe effluent. [/QUOTE]
