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.

    Brent worked most of his life as a law clerk. After he lost his job, Brent lost his place to stay, and then he blew the engine on his truck. Brent never thought he’d be homeless on the streets of Los Angeles. He looks for work, but no one wants to hire a senior.

    Ageism is a severe roadblock to employment. He says employers love his resume. He does great on the interview call, but when he shows up for the in-person interview, and they see that he’s older, he never gets the job.

    The ways homelessness affects people is considerable. Homelessness contributes to challenges regaining stability and getting to work and school, and can have a lifelong impact.

    When you become homeless, you lose so much. You no longer have a place to sleep, store food, cook, and eat. There is nowhere to keep your clothes, or go to the bathroom and take a bath or shower. You may need to leave your neighbors and neighborhood and may have a harder time getting to school or work. Homelessness leads to increased feelings of uncertainty, vulnerability, and isolation.

    Homeless people experience great physical and mental stress. This can result in health challenges while homeless and exacerbate pre-existing conditions and disabilities. Being homeless can lead to increased chances of having chronic pain; skin, foot, and dental problems; diseases and illnesses such as tuberculosis, hypertension, asthma, and diabetes.

    Many homeless people do not have access to medicine or regular physical or mental health care treatment. They tend to be hospitalized more often than people with homes. Homeless people are more likely to die prematurely as a result of injuries, unintentional overdoses, and extreme weather.
