Should we be concerned about #ultraprocessed#food or does the increasingly shrill coverage of their 'dangers' obscure the more structural issues within the #foodsystem that require our #political attention?
Eric Robinson (Liverpool U) concludes, this hype may 'distract attention from much-needed government action to restrict food industry marketing & sales of the types of foods we already know are bad for health – foods higher in sugar, salt, saturated fat & calories'!
In the future, cultured meat will replace all animal-based flesh in any pet food and human food. Cultured mouse and chicken flesh, and an infinite assortment of other fish proteins, are set to appear on pet food shelves very soon.
Ethical feeding friction will become a thing of the past.
@astro_ray@animalsonlywantkindness@mastodonindians@algorithm "vegan meat" is too broad a concept, I would not know.
There are many attempts at culturing cells for meat, and I don't think we know how well they scale up. Check #meatable for instance.
Personally I dropped all the meat alternatives because pretty much all of them are #ultraprocessed. Good for the environment but bad for your health.
