Had a carrot hot dog once, it was ok. Veggie burgers have been around quite a while. And function fine as a vehicle for condiments, probably as well as a whopper burger. Both of which are a long way from eliminating demand for meat. However the author is correct, irrespective of whether climate change is human caused, will be found by the private markets faster than government.

1,550,000 wildebeest (global)
1,650,000 moose (Us and Canada)
33,500,000 deer (just in the US)
1,000,000 elk (Us and Canada)
58,372,106 horses (Global)
168,000,000 water buffalo (global)
2,000,000,000 pigs
And all species of birds.

Everything that consumes vegatable matter
emits methane as a by-product. It makes
no sense for humans to consume even more
vegatable matter just so we can emit more
methane. At least to my red neck way of
thinking....
Judging from the numbers above we should
be eating more bacon.

I heard that AOC was in the middle of an interview with a network TV station, and in the middle of it, blurted out:

"Oh, look! A squirrel!"

Seems plausible to me, especially when she drifts away from her Justice Democrats' script.

Given the inane libtard reaction to GMA food, what will be their reaction to whole hog (/sarc) lab-grown-not-quite-meat?

Earth has its own SELF-SUSTAINING system. It always has.

Man's intervention, governed by his own SELF-IMPORTANCE, only serves to ANNIHILATE man.

The POINT: "Don't screw with Mother Nature!"

Everything you want in a burger is there, with the added benefit of no concern of animal suffering or cruelty.

WRONG! I had an Impossible Burger too, at a specialty burger restaurant. It tasted pretty good, but was mushy like wet bread--not at all the texture of meat. Not a pleasant experience--especially since my companion ordered an ordinary, real, burger, that looked delicious.

Besides that, "animal cruelty and suffering" are largely myths. My family had a cattle farm and those cattle had a good life eating grass all day. The young steers were sold off--to spend a few weeks in a feed-lot, where they ate corn to their heart's content--to fatten them up--then they were hearded into a place where they were euthanized (a bullet to the brain), about as painless as death gets.

The whole idea that a naturally occurring animal (modern cattle are descendant from ancient wild species) is to blame for global warming is ridiculous, anyway.

Of course there’s ‘climate change’; it’s spring.

Impossible Meat, while it is far superior to most veggie burgers, is not the same as Meat... taste is certainly far closer than anything else out there, but you aren’t going to take a bite of an impossible burger, and a real burger and not know which is the real thing.....

Yeah, butt...”We don’t have to accept emergency limitations on personal liberty, massive government expansion, or frivolous crackdowns on planes, trains, and automobiles.”

For the Left, where’s the fun in that?

Forget cow farts, how many cows in the world? (1.5 billion)

How many termites in the world? Hard number to pin down but, “Termites release an estimated 176 billion pounds of “greenhouse gas” per year.”

176 billion POUNDS of a GAS.
Ask yourself, what does a termite fart weigh?

How many termite farts does it take to weigh 176 billion pounds?
