The world of meat substitutes | DW Documentary

- How do you imitate a beloved taste? The answer could lie in the world of meat substitutes. Climate researchers warn that meat consumption is one of the main causes of the climate crisis. So people around the world are researching convincing alternatives.
Even if we stopped driving cars and flying tomorrow, we can no longer meet the 1.5-degree target -- unless we also radically change our diets. Cynthia Rosenzweig, a climate impact researcher at NASA, lays out with impressive clarity why we can't continue consuming meat the way we have been.
An ever-increasing proportion of the population describes itself as ‘flexitarian’. But many people can't imagine giving up meat without some kind of replacement. So it’s no wonder the market for meat alternatives is growing rapidly. "The Great Meat Debate" takes a look behind the scenes of this industry. Traditional meat producers like Rügenwalder Mühle have entered the booming meat-alternative business with plant-based alternatives. Companies like Impossible Foods in Silicon Valley and the Israeli start-up Future Meat use high-tech resources -- and hundreds of millions of dollars in investments -- to produce real meat in the lab.
This documentary looks at questions like: What do you have to look out for if you want to authentically imitate a taste? Why would no one buy a schnitzel that is brown on the inside? Optimists have their say, as do skeptics.

The fake meat is ultra processed. We are told by nutritionists to avoid processed foods. I am mostly vegetarian; i eat fish on occasion. And once in awhile I am in the mood for a burger. Otherwise, "fake" meat is not a healthy option and should be avoided. If you want to reduce your meat consumption, eat other forms of protein (beans, tofu). These are a much better alternative.
I very rarely eat steak maybe once every 1-2 months, mostly have chicken since the pandemic haven't been abroad for 3 years but these people want us all to keep us all confined at home and order everything off Amazon. I'm all for less food wastage this should come from early education to teach people to conserve more.
Now they don't want us to eat fish!
Once i tested a burger with ´meat´done with a blend of 95% lentils and 5% seasoning in my kitchen. Looked just like meat and I swear that it tasted 90% like minced beef and I couldent tell the differnce in texture or chewiness. I was so impressed. It actually was _better_ tasting
@@Funkywallot I tried some plant meat recipes, using lentils, chickpeas and tofu. I actually prefer the tofu one but unfortunately I am intolerant to it. Very sad.
@@Funkywallot That's awesome!
I was just going to mention lentils. Good source of protein, cheap and easy to make (made a week's worth just yesterday).
👍
if you showed the full slaughterhouse process to a person, and then the full lab-based meat process to a person, and then offered them whichever they'd prefer, I wonder which they'd choose.
I think people who want to eat meat should kill it and prepare it themselves. Idealistic agreed but that should be the standard if one wants to continue one’s carnivorous ways.
I like my meat a little bloody
People choose the cheapest most tasty they can afford.
In my country meat substitutes are often the same price, and sometimes even more expensive than meat. I feel ripped of eating a overly expensive veggie burger...
i choose the full slaughterhouse, the full lab-based meat process contains a lot of chemicals
I would eat meat regardless of what video I was shown. Humans have been eating meat for millions of years.
Bill Gates is the largest farmland individual owner in the USA.
A Chinese company is buying farmland in USA in an exponential rate.
Bill Gates refuted a certain study that synthetic meat is carcinogenic.
Why eat meat made to multiply in a lab in an insane rate?
You could eat someone else's tumor and nothing would happen. Cancer isn't contagious.
Also no doubt there is cancer in meat sometimes, or you do think each cow gets a chemo before slaughter?
Meat by itself is carcinogenic so I don't see why lab grown meat wouldn't be.
👎🏽Leave the meat 🥩 alone! What’s the point in making fake, highly processed meat when we can eat natural meat with all of its natural benefits. Stop cutting down trees, decrease manufacturing non food products that pollute, take less flights, drive less, etc. For those who don’t want to eat meat, just don’t eat it and leave the meat alone. The vegetables aren’t perfect either, even if they are labeled “organic”. Some of them are still polluted with chemicals and GMO. Have y’all ever thought about the pollution from the factories that produce fake meat with all the chemicals being used? Leave the meat 🥩 and fish 🐟 alone! There are other ways to decrease pollution.
They want us to believe that cows are more harmful than car manufacturing, oil industry, plants and heavy machinery production...
Why does Google keep removing comments? We have the right.
We don't need factories to make our food. It's killing enough of us already.
Meat Is The WORSE Thing For The Environment, Even If We Did All You Say, The World Will Still End Unless We Stop Killing Animals And Eating Meat.
people want all natural veggies without over use of pesticides/chemicals to grow them, but want chemically grown burgers. 🤦♂
I dont get it too
@@lovewins4681 pesticides are toxic too humans
This video is riddled with mistakes.
It takes 15g of plants to 1g of pork. Except you didn't measure it from a nutritional standpoint, meaning that 1g of pork may contain more micronutrients than 15g of veggies. There is a reason why it takes that ratio and its not because pigs are inefficient.
You also don't account for bioavailability, as you described humans aren't meant to digest that much plants because of cellulose and you will likely need to overcompensate to get the same protein and micronutrients.
You also don't account for human food waste as well as large farming and the impact that has on emissions. Large farms use multiple tactics including all day force feeding and feeds that are high on grains and legumes, making emissions higher. Human food waste is about 50% meaning we could reduce our meat consumption drastically if we didn't waste so much.
There is a crusade on meat and its paid for by the food industry. If it was up to them, you would eat "engineered meat" and lose your ability to farm and raise your own cattle.
Does anyone measure the impact of the chemicals used to make this amazing vegan meats or are you just looking at it in grams?
I had to stop watching this documentary because of the misinformation in the statistics you provide.
You misheared that. It is stated that "it takes 15 calories of plants to grow 1 calorie of pork". That is exactly what happens and is quite logic if you think it through.
An animal needs to eat and drink to grow but it also has energy expenditure to live. It has to move, heat its body and all the organs need to work. The longer it needs to grow the more energy is "wasted" and thats why chicken are generally less CO2 intense than pigs and kettle is by far the most CO2 intense because it needs to grow over several months to get "harvested" for its meat.
You are totally right that we do waste lots of food but that is an argument against meat as well because if you waste 1calorie of pork you actually waste 15 calories of plants.
The "crusade" you are talking about seems like a very strange argument because the meat and dairy industry is one of the largest and strongest industries there is and the "vegan industry" is by far weaker. The thing is that pretty much all scientific literature available tells you the same thing - exactly what is said in this documentary. Of course there are some studies telling you its good to eat meat from an environmental point of view but their independent opinion is inflicted because of payments from the meat and dairy industry.
I am 100% on your side though with the statement that we shouldn't substitute meat with vegan meat but rather should eat more vegetable and so on because it surely is healthier for us.
YES, this is propaganda not a well-researched documentary.
We are screwed . We have to be complete fools to believe we can fix this problem . We can barely take care of each other .
we should also consider about the longterm effects on the human body, also we need to measure the absorption level and the quality of the protein produced in this way. Lets not forget that we deviate from nature in this way. Food is not also about taste, looks and smell, its about health and longevity
I agree. But I wish the same level of investigation would have been carried out by Pfizer for their so called 'vaccine'.
That's one aspect I've never seen adressed yet. Now that 'Impossible' meats has been on the market for a while I'd like to see a study on that
I think it’s nutty that I have to suffer for what corporations have done to this world. It shouldn’t be on me to adjust my habbits to reduce my less than 1% of greenhouse emissions when the biggest corporations are responsible for 70% of our emissions.
So they think replacing protein with a carb is good. Carbs are sugar to the body. I tried carbs and ended up with high blood sugar. Went back to protein and all my blood work is normal again..
They know how to decrease human population...
You can just eat plant protein, which is healthier. Thank me later.
You can literally be keto and vegan at the same time lol
Who replacing it with a carb? Most meat substitutes are either made from soy, pea protein or gluten. Theyre all high protein and low carb.
And how do you produce the nutrients to feed the cell cultures?
Just a bunch of chemicals. Ya know. the same chemicals that our farmers arn't allowed to use anymore to create efficient, safe and caloric dense fields of foods that allow starving poor places in the world to survive in nutrient lacked regions. Its not a secret anymore... It never has been. these ppl want us to die. they want the population of humans on earth to decline. Environmentalist always have and still protest nuclear power plants. If the world went nuclear 'like how France and japan have/did' decades ago then quite literally every energy and pollution problem we have would be solved.
Well, have you seen Soylent Green?
Science baby
@@LLLemi Dah...
But where does the feed come from?
I guess it doesn't come out of thin air, so the feeds must have a considerable environmental print too.
@@FaustobellissimoSsshhh. You're not supposed to show signs of thought.
I'd rather pay $50 a pound for real meat then eat fake meat even if it was free.
Amen! Cheers to meat 🥩!
Maybe that's what will end up happening (though I doubt it'd ever be 'free')
If only we maintained a global population of 1 billion, we won't have problems like this!
Ah the true agenda of the left, UN, WEF, Globalists a massive depopulation of the planet by ANY MEANS possible. As far back as the late 1950s I've heard from the death loving left that the earth can only sustain 350 to 500 million people so your number is not far from that.
Honestly, the more I learn about climate change, the more I think this too. Idk why people are so worried about population decline, its honestly the best thing that could happen to us imo.
So now animals have to be blamed for our own destruction of the planet wow humans 😂😂😂😂
Animal *exploitation* is the problem, not animals.
@@camipers and forest and land exploitation. Exploitation of natural resources
Do you understand the difference between Animal and Animal exploitation?
Please go vegan.
It's science not speculation
I agree
How much of a carbon footprint is there for Tesla?
Mining for every single piece of material, component and alloy used to produce the vehicles. How about the pollution from lithium mining and production. How about the hundreds of thousands in cobalt mining and their health.
Solar panels cost more to produce than we do for recycling those panels after their shelflife. It costs more to break apart every component in a solar panel than they do for those individual parts, solar panels are not economically viable.
In the 70s Margaret Thatcher said the planet had ten years due to global warming, Ronald Reagan stated five years left, Bill Clinton said ten years.
Politicians have literally been selling those lies for decades.
Processed meats have chemicals in them. Look at sausages and it's chemicals to preserve them for a time. What will those companies be putting in products, binding agents and so on.
What else they insist in pumping into our bodies will cause cancer.
The so called powers that be saying cows that fart are a major cause towards global warming. Those same people stated that humans are the same problem. Hence Bill Gates and his eugenics statements and agendas. Look at Bill Gates family and their agendas
Gates owns the largest amount of farmlands in US... extremely NOT suspicious 😂
Well damn, looks like I can't loose 20kg of weight in one hour and it needs consistent development and work and improvement and things don't always have a perfect solution... welp time to call all weight loss a scam. Think about all those hundreds of thousands of poor fat cells.
Well damn, looks like solar panels cost more energy to produce/recycle than they produce in their lifetime. Why do they put all that energy into making those things if we could just use that energy directly? What a waste! If only solar panels were 1% efficient, so you could use solar panel energy to mine and product new solar panels. We'd have a freaking infinite solar energy cheat!
Well damn, looks like global warming is a thing that just ends the world suddenly. Like, now we're fine and next minute the planet is so hot all our oceans boil away. If only we didn't learn that oceans can absorb tons of carbon emissions and acidify in the process. Damn corals are dying for no reason.
I wonder what all those politicians eat that they preach.
They forgot something, cells need calories to grow or to continuously divide. What are they feeding them?
Abortion cells...lets hope non human
How much energy did it cost to build that lab and all equipment? How much energy does it cost to run on a daily basis? How much energy does it consume to get rid of all the waste produced to do these exercises?
Basic thinking
I thought the problem with Avocado is water consumption.
It is. That's one of the problems anyway.
What about the health issues with substitutes? Most have to add tons of salt just to make up for lack of taste..
Without chemical 'taste enhancers' burgers would taste like cardboard soaked in chlorinated tap water. Nobody would stick that stuff into their own mouth.
@@takuan650 because MacDuck is made from very real meat 😂
Jesse - do you think meat is actually _red_ ? I wonder about the colourization & it's health consequences; just to point out a substitute that is used to make animal-flesh closer to our conception of bloodied meat.
Back in the 80s I ate lunch at a buffet in a resorty unpretentious type of place with good-stinky-water springs (sulfur). The food was delicious. Everything was there - all groups of food.
Only later did i learn, that what I thought was meat, in fact was tofu texturized like meat and soaked in whatever soy sauce they used to make it brown. Turns out the place was owned by people from India whose religion precluded meat eating.
I realize now, that chef was a miracle worker.
Soy-based "meat" is probably the best tasting texture wise for those of us who like meat. There is seitan (gluten) based meats but not an option for people with a gluten intolerance/celiac's.
Tofu not match to most vegetables, do you know about stones in the kidney?
İ appreciate the job of this documentary creator but fake is fake ... Thanks me i never buy processed meat products.
I am not an expert but I bet you that a cow that is pasture raised produces a fraction of methane gas that a cow feed genetically modified corn full of pesticides!! I own a small cattle farm in South America where the cows eat what nature intended and the cows are happy and healthy.... and I have also seen and smelled the feed lots in parts of the US where you can feel the horrible smell for miles, and I doubt very much that this are happy healthy cows!! Most anthropologists agree that without meat, fish, eggs the human brain would have never developed the way that it did, and we probably would be just another ape in the planet.... Eating fake meat is probably the best way to evolve back into an ape!!
Even apes eat meat, if I remember correctly: insects, lizards & carrion they find.
@@BLAQFiniks Bad comparison. Animals in nature are optimized to consume every calorie possible, because you never know when food is on the table (they don't have tables, eat insects or risk death, also no brains to give a shit).
This is a luxury that we humans engineered our selves out of, but now this engineered thing (factory farming) is destroying the planet.
So we have to engineer a different solution or stop eating stupid amounts of meat because 8 billion humans is not a population that can be sustained through natural means..
So while meat may be natural to us, there is no way we can do it naturally because there is not enough nature to feed all of us.
19:40 this lady is literally describing an incremental system applied to stop us from doing what made us successful
Isnt food production a smaller polluter compared to industry and transportation?
Silence! You cannot ruin their propaganda with common sense
no 0:49
Worldwide rice production alone creates more green house gas emissions vehicles, so no!
@@lorezampadeferro8641 lol 😂😂
Yes. Let's find solutions for both!
Amazing that Tyson Foods became a sponsor! Hope one day we really do not need to eat meat anymore and there will be better substitutes!
In the USA, there has been a lot of effort to switch over to meat alternatives but it's very hard to compete with animal meat on price because of how much money goes into subsidizing steps of the meat industry, like in producing the cattle feed crops. It's kind of insane how the ingredients for a salad can cost more than a serving of ground beef when you consider the resources that went into producing each, but it's because of the unequal government funding going into each industry.
It's not because of subsidies, it's because vegans buy processed crap instead of food. That's where the real profit margins are.
This is such an important conversation to be had!
Living in the Netherlands, we have the same here. It doesn't make the meat cheaper than vegetables or legumes but it makes a considerate impact. Even organic meats (which are often not eligible) are twice or 3 times as expensive, which isn't too unaffordable and it shows how subsidies don't always do a lot.
Being vegan in Nigeria is difficult and expensive for me.
It's mostly not Nigeria runing the climate, it's richer countries. For your health it's surely okay to eat animal products once or twice a week. If it's for your footprint, compare the problem a child is causing in Nigeria vs in Germany, where I am: one German kid produces eight times more waste, CO² and needs more resources than a kid anywhere in Africa. If we all worked together and got childfree, we would do better in preserving the planet.
I have not heard of any world leader giving up eating meat - lead by example
Does Gandhi count? How about 9.3 million people in Germany or the estimated one billion people who are already vegetarian? That's leading by example - not waiting for a temporary head of state or celebrity to inspire you.
As if you'd actually do anything based on someone setting an example for you. 🙄
@@TheStockwell he's dead, and wasn't that a religious choice. World leaders, on all their jollies, jetting round the world, let's see every one of them eating only mock meat.
I doubt we'd hear much more about it, it tastes so bad
Anyone want to mention how mass agricultural practices are draining natural lakes, rivers and water sources leaving whole regions of the world now barren.
We can collect these gases and use them for cooking or producing electricity. It happens on many farms.
I already did my share I didn’t reproduce now give me my steak I deserve it
not making babies so you can eat murdered babies doesn’t make any sense
What is happening to DW? They have recently become hyper focused on pushing propaganda.
Why are you offended by easily proven facts?

It isn't being "enforced" on people. It's an option, get it?

People are stupid, people don't usually make the best decision for themselves, the planet is dying and we are burning with it. People should understand the consequences of their choices and act accordingly but it's not happening so until then, some sort of coercion should exist if you don't us to have a hard life on a burning planet.
@DW News
Please make a documentary about how many emissions come from the military industrial complex in military exercises and wars.
Do we have any long term studies on the effects of these foods on the human body over time?
Look up "the China study"
29:47 He is wrong. Take a look at Intel facilities or TI chip production. Having worked for both I can tell you we where able to maintain cleanliness levels in excess of hospitals or even pharmaceutical production on a grander scale.
I was thinking the same thing. The biotech industry wouldn't be feasible if they couldn't keep their facilities production sterile. That is why his argument is nonsense because the cleanliness at scale already exists in the food and biotech scene. If a microbrewery can do large-scale fermentation without contamination, then I think these companies can do it too, lol!
This is the second, high-biased documentary I've seen from DW recently. The world's fish populations could not handle the increased fishing from switching to a primarily fish-based protein diet, many lands in the western US are not suited to grow food crops, and livestock are the economic engine for many rural areas.
I agree on that they should not promote eating seafood but did you miss the whole point that the vast majority of our crops currently go to meat and dairy industries? Nearly 80% of soy alone goes to animal agriculture. Economies are constantly changing and simply not wanting to change into a different type of an industry is not a good excuse to keep destroying the planet for every single being on earth. What used to be a vital source of living for some in the past is now something completely different with technological innovations: the way we communicate has changed drastically for example.
They bought and paid for by WEF klaus schwabby
While some areas may have limited agricultural potential, advancements in farming techniques and technology have made it possible to grow crops in regions that were previously unsuitable. Think vertical farming, mushrooms vertical farms, hydroponics, mycelium, and algae which are crazy sustainable and healthy and some grow 2 meters per day, you can make burgers and sausages from them or mix like 25% of it in plant-based foods and then you would have a very nutritious sustainable food. In addition, a shift towards a plant-based diet would require less land than animal agriculture, as animals require large amounts of land for grazing and feed production. Therefore, a transition to plant-based agriculture could free up land for food production and reduce pressure on our agricultural system. You think of the system as it is now but we could use only 25% of our current agricultural land and still feed the world. Combine this with people growing some of their own food if they have the possibility or tackling food waste and there you have it. Western countries would have 0 issues in growing their own food and meeting their needs even more probably
But yes, fuck the part with fish, the oceans are dying and are suffocating in ghosts nets, It took us 50 years to kill almost 80% of what nature preserved in millions of years
Your eyes and ears were also biased because you didn't read all the facts they say
I am impressed with the Impossible products. I even had one on a burger at Burger King. It was really good. Been a vegetarian for about 6 years. I was a pescatarian for many years before. The inhumane treatment of farm animals, factory farming, was the reason. It's not as hard as you think.
Its unhealthy, fake meat
🤣 impossible burger at burger king and was really good. 😆 🤣 😂
🤮
I tried it too. Going down it tasted good, but then there was a bitter aftertaste. I’ll stick with real meat 🥩.
I am not eating anything that is man made, I'll trust mother nature to provide, it's shocking how you can even trust these people. The same people that gave you disease food and diabetes, cancer, etc.
A copy of meat is just that, a copy. There is no replacement for real meat no matter how mad the science is to replicate it.
And it’s as simple as this
Lab grown is still quite interesting to me though. Lab grown is actual meat. Cells but grown outside of an animal.
This could be interesting long term for some societies. The fake burger stuff is terrible though that's just chemicals, low in nutrition.
@@0xszander0 Agreed. Lab grown meat, aka clean meat is the closest you'll get to "real" meat. Plant-based burgers like Impossible Burger is just full of added chemicals and high in sodium. Yuck!
Apart from being good for environment, lab grown meat will make meat accessible to everyone. Industrial production of meat will lower the price as it has done with everything
Factory food is factory food, and factories have a horrible run-off.
"Lab Meat" likely is not the answer. One, for reasons, spelt out by Joe Fassler at the end of the video. E.g. AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine is based on that kind of technology (engineered virus cultivated in cell cultures), and it was a bit challenging to produce at scale. The problem is not the sole existence of meat in our diets but that we overeat it. In a balanced approach to agriculture, we need some animals to close nutrient cycling, but not hundreds of millions of cows, pigs etc. (there are more chickens than all wild birds combined). So enjoy your Sunday roast from a cow that grazed on actual grass, not fed with soy from Brazil, but on Sundays ONLY :-)
I our local market fake meat had a start and some ppl tried it , now most of it goes back to the spot it was created , the product doesn’t smell good and looks even worse, I’ll keep eating meat.
You can replace your animal products with other vegetables such as lentils, beans, chickpeas. It doesn't have to be fake meats but we do need to drastically reduce the amount of animal products
products that we eat.
@@catalina5382 apparently I’m NOT going to do that, my heritage is meat eating and lots of it.
@@mr.un-important4204 your heritage will stay in the past if you don't give up most meat and dairy for the well being of this planet. There is no stopping what's coming in the future once it happend. You can't repair the glass ceiling once it got shattered and you only have today to make sure it doesn't break.
When it turns up in the community fridge because supermarkets can't sell it, most people try it once and never again. It's so bad they can't give it away
A propaganda piece in the guise of `science and technology'! The `process' that is being talked about is the standard process of capitalist agriculture and livestock production prevalent in the global north. In the global south, meat consumption is far less; frozen, processed meat is a rarity, only limited to the wealthy top few percent of the population. But a fantastical PR effort nonetheless to sidestep agriculture, to completely turn the problem of global food security upside down, make the global south more and more dependent on global north and create confusion about the historical culpability of the capitalist global north in engineering the climate catastrophe.
I love soylent green, it taste so good!
curious about the lab-grown meat. if you have the meat produce itself thru cell division and growth. any concerns that could cause cancer. just thinking. he said infinitely divide.
It can't grow on air. What is it going to feed on? Are we going to end up with factories instead of fields? No thanks.
Soylent green is people.
Despite what Joe Fassler claims, induced pluripotent stem cells aren't old and they haven't been extensively used in pharma to this day. He also seems to entirely forget that most technological breakthroughs, like computers, wireless communications, 3D printing and electric vehicles started as ridiculously expensive and small-scale.
These people are insane , they point and blame but never do they act reasonable. They fly around in private jets but tell us we can’t drive to work?
Maybe it's crazy to think that we need 8 billion people for the species to survive.
We could actually feed 12 billion people if we used the land used for feeding cattle to feed the global population.
Unfortunately humans are too greedy and selfish to share things equally
But if we go about an efficient way of doing this, AKA depopulate the least productive & most troublesome groups of people....suddenly its racist & evil.
i'll quit meat but i won't touch fake meat
Where is B12 in that meat?
Why not show the world of flesh production? Dominion (2018) 👈
Fake meat it's not bad, we put a lot more terrible stuff in our bodies. People smoke for 60 years and some are fine. Our body can easily handle some mashed processed plants with aromas. But it's always best to have variety and eat whole grains, lentils, beans, cereals and vegetables but some fake meats from time to time won't do anything bad to you. As for b12 there are some vitamins, chewable, small pills with ex strawberry taste, from 'now foods' or other chewables, it's just a sweet pill every few days. B12 gets stored in the liver and you have reserves for a long time, there is no need to worry about them but do take the pill every few days just to not be low on it.
@@catalina5382 You're overconfident. You have no idea about the chronic toxicity of additives required by or of residues leftover from the processing. Let alone the product of their degradation resulting from the cooking. We have adapted (liver : cytochromes, biotransformation, conjugation, lymphatic system, kidneys), through hundreds of thousands of years to deal with real meat toxic compounds. We haven't had the opportunity to do so for all the new different synthetic meat compounds. Eat the new stuff if you please. We're watching.

This ‘documentary’ is straight up mind control.
I’ve had fake meat… it made me very sick. ESPECIALLY Impossible burgers. 🤢
I will never eat the lab mush, no matter how much propaganda you push on me.
Why? At some point cultivated meat will be a necessity, because the agricultural industry as it currently exists is unsustainable and destructive.
Then eat rice and beans, good protein source.
You will when they've paid off so many farmers that there is no real food.
We shouldn't have to slaughter animals for your evil tsstes
When you can only afford that meat then you will :)
Id be more willing to buy meat substitutes if they weren't more expensive than the actual meat item.
They definitely will be in the future. It would be a big help if the massive subsidizing of the meat industry would be channeled into meat substitutes tho.
Try legumes, great nutritional value, endless combinations for your dishes, and cheap!
How about all the governments quit needlessly flying everywhere just to talk to someone.

I switched to plant-based "meats" a few months ago. They actually taste better to me than real meat, and are much healthier. I will never go back!
We can't live without the planet, the planet can live without us.
And the planet can't live without life, and that inludes animals. Our animals make the soil beneath our feet that vegans seem to think they grow their food in.
DW makes excellent documentaries. This is one of them. Thank you.
So you are perfectly fine with DW starting out this video with an easy to prove giant LIE about the hottest 6 years on record? Not even close! There have been numerous times even long before the first human walked the earth that the climate has been MUCH, MUCH hotter and also MUCH, MUCH colder.
20:42 is exactly how zombie apocalypse begins.
All that wheat is no good for us. We were never meant to eat so much junk food.
If we ate green fresh vegetables and meat without all that machine farmed seed junk that forces all the forests to be ripped up the world would be a much better place and we would be as healthy as we were in the sixties, even though everyone smoked then, few had heart attacks and no one suffered with diabetes or obesity.
I feel that, I have wheat allergy
It is so stupid how are we trying to replace beef with not really tested technology instead of promoting adding algae (=reducing methane by 80%)... we also can´t forget that cowas are often used for landscape managament that would also needed to be done anyway (using machinery for this loweres biodiversity on pastures and that needs to be reminded)
The problem I have with this documentary is that at one time there were huge herds of Buffalo (also rummants) that were hunted to near extinction for their hides and food (by white settlers) along with wasted meat from Indians (as they didn't exactly have guns at their disposal when hunting). That alone changed the great plains of north america due to lack of fertilization, moisture and weeding. There is a TED talk from Allan Savory on the subject of desertification and how to reverse it. We may be too late but if we cattle herded and increased the overall herd - moving away from feed lot raised cattle to free ranged, it's likely it could turn the tide back compared to soy cultivation which does contribute deforestation. And there already is alot of wide open feed areas on both north and south america - with an entire culture and history around it.
Ever wonder why cockroach farming is multi billion dollar industry? Cockroach meal is secretly added to a number of products we use everyday like toothpaste, cosmetic, pharmaceuticals, protein powder, biscuits!
A very well funded Propaganda piece
Yeah it's so freaking weird!
Some companies are suddenly realizing that you can make more long term profit if you don't extinct yourself by blowing up the biosphere that we need to live.
You'd almost expect that the next term windfall is more important than having functional offspring, oh wait oil companies what are you doing?!?
Is Soylent Green (1973 movie) the future?
If we think we've got (skyrocketing at an alarming rate!!!) health problems now, we haven't seen anything yet.. You just carry on eating all this stuff 😢 I pity the next generations smh
Interesting documentary. I recently watched a Jake Tran video about how plant based meat is a scam. It's hard to get passed bias from both sides but it is better to be informed on all sides before making a decision about diet and health.
Why not show the world of flesh production? Dominion (2018) 👈
I feel like the current promotion of “beyond meat” and products like it are what vaping is for cigarettes. If you’re already eating meat it’s a better alternative but still not as good as obtaining altogether.
@@smonda02exactly this. Fake meat is better for the person and the planet than meat. But still not that great.
Is it better to have a plant based diet with occasional meat/dairy/eggs. It's all about balance and less consumption. Fake meat should be categorised as highly processed fast food, not a real substitute for meat protein. I rarely eat beef, occasionally eat chicken, much prefer local fish (of low mercury), tofu, beans and eggs for my protein needs. It's also cheaper for my wallet.
Just go vegan and leave it out. No one's forcing you to eat it, and no vegan ever said they're healthy (in fact, vegans who only eat processed food are ridiculed with nicknames). You can't consume animal products today without ruining the planet.
Always wandering why people go vegetarian and still crave meat products so much.
Propaganda! If you’re avoiding processed food, do not eat the fake meat
real meat cant be replaced
Human beings! We create systems that create problems for us. We got rid of the system of families producing food, clothes, energy, for themselves. We grew what we needed with great biodiversity. No packing, transport, machine processing needed. Some people still live like this. However, many societies gave up this kind of simple system in favor of large manufacturing. The solution is simple. Eat what you and your land can produce and remove 'regulation' from food and farming. Sometimes we need to take two steps back so that we can move forward; Unless we are happy eating lab grown 'food', which can only be mass manufactured, distributed by corporates, again further removing the power to feed yourself and your families.
They best never stop producing real meat, what has killing pigs, cows and lamb got to do with the climate.
Do you even watch bro?
@@maurits150 no bro like some vegan program, if I seen pigs and cows I might have watched it, but it's all that grow in a lab fake meat. They can never stop selling real meat, people would be selling bacon and sausage on the street corners🤣
So Soy and Canola oil are better for you than meat....sounds like the new food guide. She forgot to mention that tilling the ground for grain planting releases much more carbon.
Meat all the way, no one's telling me what I can and can't eat.
Meat is our diet .....
I mean the planet it's kinda telling you that you should not but assuming you are old, you will not suffer the consequences yet but your family will
No, but they can and should make it prohibitively expensive.
it’s toxic for you
@@catalina5382 you listen to too much propaganda. Climate is a scam the biggest scam in our lifetime
The highest temperatures have been recorded at the start of the last century, not recently. The climate hysteria is a political fight that has little to do with the realities. If so people who spread and backup this hysteria would be for once honest with others and mostly with themselves, is this issue about climate or about their own personal issues or interests?!
Very interesting! This is great and useful information. I think however that all we need is a change of habit. Not the creation of fake meat or a switch to a meat-free diet. People eat "too much" meat and too much of it goes to waste. We don't need to eat that much meat to get the nutrients we need. Only a few grams per day are sufficient. Ban industrial farming and encourage organic farming. This will limit considerably the number of animals, will make animal products more expensive which will lead to less consumption.
Thanks for commenting and sharing your thoughts on this:)
30%proteins and 70%vegetables +fruits + cereal
Great doco! Thx
These artificial meat needs to be seriously improved, some of them taste really awful and the lack of texture feels so well in the mouth. Even I prefer to consume less animal product but find it hard to switch these meat substitute products. besides they are really pricy at this moment still. Not everyone can afford to switch. And stop human over-population
Perhaps we'll stop procreating so much if we get shittier food, which is kind of a basic rule of the animal kingdom. Looks like we aren't that different after all.
I guess the real question is about the time left for this shift? Do we really have it? These alternatives would be soon available for the people that can pay for it meanwhile the ones that can't afford will be keeping most of the business running as normal. What is the plan for the local farming economies that don't have the resources for these transformations? Developing countries are currently sourcing most the minerals for the digital revolution as well as the avocados and all the other exotic ingredients of the vegetarian western diets at the expense of diminishing their ecosystems.
I am surprised that you didn't make more than a passing reference to precision fermentation, the process which Impossible Foods use to make heme. Unlike animal cell culture, this technique is free to develop exponentially as researchers work out how to brew an increasing number of proteins that we currently get from animals. It's scaleable because the vats used for fermentation are already a mature technology and there are not the multiple hurdles that still hamper animal cell culture. Rethink X have studied this in depth and concluded that it will displace conventional meat very quickly.
I would also echo what an earlier commenter said about switching to fish. We're already hunting them to extinction and most farmed fish is also very destructive environmentally. In fact, when you consider that fish are being stolen from the West African coast - driving communities to starvation - only to be ground up and fed to farmed salmon, it can be every bit as ugly as the mass harvesting of wild fish using slave labour.
As far as I know, it's not real heme, but soy leghemoglobin. Not bioavailable iron then, just the flavour.
@@krzysztofmiszczuk2089 the iron in leghemoglobin is ferrous, not ferric. I'd actually assume it is as bioavailable as normal heme iron.
By the way, non-heme iron is still bioavailable, just not as readily as heme iron.
@TheTinkymaster you're correct, I've oversimplified. Saying that, after 24yrs of being vegetarian, the first thing I really wanted after changing my mind, was livers. Somehow, my body was looking for easy iron.
@@krzysztofmiszczuk2089
Hope you're doing well! I also fully understand it's hard to find a good serving of leghemoglobine somewhere.
Low iron can be an issue without meat, and you could always eat a bit of liver to add more iron to your diet. It sounds like you made another life choice alltogether though.
It's something that can happen for women too. My sister still eats meat every now and then.
@TheTinkymaster yes, I'm fine, thank you. I've switched to unprocessed keto 3yrs ago and feeling 10yrs younger now.
And, yes, iron, Omega-3, B12 etc. can be found in non animal foods or/and supplemented, but it's not the same.
They should maybe start the stratospheric aerosol injections plans proposed decades ago.
You know the ones that make the planes leave long lines in the atmosphere that then turn the sky a murky grey color. You know the proposition that they totaly are not doing, but it totaly looks like is being done.
If people all became vegans the world would become a desert in less than a hundred years. We've already lost half the bees in Europe. What other creatures are going to service our plant?
Valid point. There will be a day where meat isn't an option. I don't see Elon bringing a cow to Mars
I'd stick to eating meat - as fresh as possible - for life.
This people are crazy...ignore them and enjoy your Beef...😂
Great to see the counter argument to cultured meat startups. The much simpler, healthier, and cheaper option is a plant based diet
I always look at the vegan stuff in the store and think hmm what does that taste like. But the high price constantly scares me away. If they has an actual good price and not as high or higher then meat, then i would buy it.
The reason that I don't consume animal products is because I am against animal cruelty and don't want to be an animal abuser, but the health benefits of a plant based diet is undeniable. It has been decades of pure health here!
Meat isn't from a lab, that's simulated meat.
I have tried plant base meat and I don't have a problem with how it tastes. I love it.
So you like cat/dog food?
@@GarudaLegends yeah, and i even dont own a pet atm
If you must eat them, don’t eat Impossible Burger. Their own study on mice show sign of toxicity only after 28 days. Also the fake blood they use or Leg-hemoglobin is very questionable because they use GMO soy to produce this unnatural compound.
@@GarudaLegendsi think at least dog and cat canned food is human-grade real food
Why not just generically engineer livestock that doesn't emit it so much methane?
If we are no longer eating from a meat what will happen to the cows to stop climate crisis?
They get to live and die like humans do
@@HShango Wha is stopping climate crisis on that? Don't they die if we eat them?
@@mihlayonke we will stop the uncontrollable breeding, so their population numbers will go down. They will only remain in family farms.
They will have to worry about cemeteries for the animals and how to burry them humanly… and there will be protests if the job is not done well enough, not respectful of the animal.
We also would have to start working about what from to make the baby formula for humans… - I bet DW will have a doc about this too.
Oh, I forgot… - will there be enough organic fertilizer for the insane demand for plant PRODUCTION without the animal dung????
@@mihlayonke how do you think they are breeded into existence??
There is no way this will happen
What happens to all of these animals once humans stop eating them? I haven’t seen a food documentary showing this ideal end state. What does this co-existence look like?
They go back to the wild. Of course, a cow in the wild is a hilarious concept that doesn't have a lot of hope for survival. They'd die in mass, but probably wouldn't go extinct, would just evolve to become like buffalos
Giving up meat it will happen gradually. The same way people didn't mass murder horses when cars became a thing. Giving up animal products will lower the demand and therefore the production of these animals, less and less will be born.
Cows are meant for humans to consume. Stop trying to be woke. Millions of years of humans eating meat.
@@RealMTBAddict there is nothing similar with the way that humans ate meat in the past compared to how we do now. Not even the animals that we eat now, they are a new species. It was never this bad, never this much, never this unhealthy. In the past meat was a necessity, today that's not the case anymore. We are going towards extinction with meat and dairy in our arms. It's not wokeism, it's the truth. Meat had its place it the past and it brought us to who we are as species but when a habit starts to do more harm than good, it's time to change it.
@@catalina5382 Meat is not unhealthy.
