A health or environmental choice?
Across
the country, people are choosing to eat less meat for the health of
their bodies and the planet, whether for one meatless day per week or a
lifetime.
The
‘fake meat’ business has been around for decades, but it has not quite
taken off due to price or down to visual, textural or flavour failure.
However, the meat-fakers say they are on the verge of a breakthrough,
that there is a real possibility that a new era of fake meat –
nutritious, cheap and indistinguishable from the real thing, made either
of synthesised animal tissue or derived from plant material – may be
upon us.
