Fake Meat vs. Real Meat

 

    The game is on. The question is who will win the battle of the “real meat” hamburgers vs. the “fake meat” hamburgers? The new “fake” challengers have no ham or meat in them. Some of their content comes from plants. They also contain other ingredients that are “processed”. Some consumers and vegans are snapping up the nomeat burgers.

 

    The meat industry is pointing out the differences between fake meat and real meat. First, they want the states or the federal government not to allow the words “meat” or “beef” to be on the fake burger labels. Second, they want the meatless products removed from the meat shelves. Third, they want the world “imitation” placed on all fake meat products. It is not clear you need the word imitation if you do not use the words’ meat or beef.

 

    The plant-based burger industry has a few points it wants to make. The biggest is that raising cattle is a huge burden on the planet. Their meatless burgers have required less land and water. They create fewer greenhouse emissions than meat burgers from cattle.

 

    The public relations battle aside, what are the real issues for consumers? First, how do the meatless burgers taste? That is up to the eater. One study says that 90 percent of the customers buying the meatless burgers also eat meat. These customers think the products are good for their health. And they believe the meatless burgers are better for the environment. Observers say it is the millennials who are driving the meatless demand. Millennials are people born between 1980 and 2000.

THE THINGS THAT MAKE US WHO WE ARE

Our cultural values get baked into the materials we create, changing humanity along the way

 

Humans spend a lot of time and effort making stuff. At last count, humanity has created more than 100,000 different materials from which we build our cities, our clothing, our smartphones, our world. Without our stuff, we would be naked, vulnerable, and, arguably, not very human. The question of how much of our humanity is due to this material wealth and how our cultural values are baked into the materials we create is the subject of Ainissa Ramirez’s fascinating new treatise, The Alchemy of Us.[…] The book’s central thesis is that we make materials and materials make us. […]

Ramirez’s meditation on the materials that have facilitated community (“share”) is particularly illuminating. Here, she writes about the phonograph’s impact on how music was enjoyed. The ability to record music meant that the experience of listening to it no longer had to be a communal one. […] – but it also opened up uncharted horizons. The recordings allowed a cross-fertilization of musical culture between jazz, blues, and rock and roll, even as the musicians themselves remained segregated by race politics.

On the subject of race and racial discrimination, Ramirez argues that a society that is racist will reflect racism in the substances that it makes. For example, photographic film, she writes, was largely developed by white people for white people. Because dark skin absorbs more light than white skin, early photographs of black people were often underexposed, rendering images that were barely recognizable. […]

Ramirez is particularly keen to debunk the idea that materials arise from flashes of insight experienced by extraordinary individuals, instead painting a picture of a diverse range of people from all walks of life driven by love, passion, and intellect. The culture of innovation, she maintains, does not belong only to privileged elites, it can be found in all those who care enough to reinvent the material world and, as a result, themselves.

The word stuff in BOLD in the first paragraph of text is

Consider the following text:

 

BBC News
Published July 20, 2021.

 

With new homes being built with eco-friendly design in mind, older properties can prove the worst offenders when it comes to their carbon footprint. […] The costs of reducing your home's carbon footprint can vary from a few pounds for better draught proofing or using low-energy lightbulbs, to hundreds of pounds for loft insulation or a larger investment of thousands of pounds for renewable generation such as whole-house insulation systems.
