        I’m not a vegan but I do believe that eating meat from an animal that suffered it’s whole life surely passes on to the person who consumed it.

        I don’t eat meat that often but when I do I always buy free range.

        I tell people, even if you can’t go vegetarian or vegan (I’m one of those) you can reduce your consumption of animal products. Be more mindful of wasting animal products and always buy free range when possible.

        If everyone scales back a bit that would make a huge difference.

      I think it depends on what you mean when you say “synthetic meat”.

      I use quorn mince when I’m making spaghetti bolognese and lasagne. If you add marmite to the “mince” when you’re doing the initial cook the final dish is indistinguishable from real meat tbh.

      I agree that other meat replacements aren’t the same and probably won’t be for a while, although Aldi have recently started selling something that resembles a steak which I want to try.

        I’ve tried a lot and have not found any of it very appetizing.

        Most has a very rubbery texture as soon as it cools slightly.

        Very unpleasant.

        I’d rather just not have any meat than have it.

        But it you have had the good stuff, please send me your recommendations.

      Good synthetic meat exists, it’s just more expensive to produce so you usually can’t buy it at like a corner store or something
