  • 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.

    👎🏽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.

    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.

    • @fantasysensenmann
      @fantasysensenmann 4 месяца назад +1

      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.

    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.

      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

    "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 :-)

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.

      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.

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.

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.

    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.

    I guess the real question is about the time left for this shift? Do we really have it?

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.

  • @stephentroake7155
    @stephentroake7155 Год назад +3

    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.
