  • I’m a big fan of impossible meats, and as a normal meat eater I would still happily eat impossible if it was available. My wife doesn’t eat meat so we’ve replaced all ground beef recipes with impossible, it makes great chili, meatballs, burgers, etc.

    But I’ve been wondering about it because it seems to be an ultra processed food, especially compared to real meat. What are the implications of this? On the whole is it really any better than beef or chicken? Especially locally sourced, high quality meat, not from a mega farm. How much water is used in making lab grown meat? What other chemicals are used? What’s the cost of shipping all those ingredients and finished product across the country? How much power is used in production and manufacturing? What is the difference in health impact of lab grown vs real? How does this all compare to a local beef producer?

    I’m not ready to quit impossible, and I’d hate to, but I wonder if it’s really the best decision.

    Idk, I think there might be enough people on the right and left willing to change it up and vote for a workers party instead of what we have now. It seems plenty of people are sick of barely surviving as corporate oligarchs get richer, a new party could run on that.

    I know I’m ready for one. I’ve been losing faith in and respect for Democrats since the 2016 election and it’s at an all time low.
