[QUOTE="sim.-ang.king, post: 1605027, member: 14533"] They claim the lab grown meat will be better for the environment because it doesn't need land to grow food, but fail to see that lab grown meat still requires energy to grow. That energy has to come from somewhere. It's kind of like the electric cars are better because they don't need gas, but yet their power has to come from somewhere. As for the pea based fake meat. Peas can't take a lot of heat, and stay very productive. 2012 would of wiped out a lot of the pea crop if you weren't pouring the water on. Areas like southern Illinois that can grow lots of soy and beef, would flop if they had to start raising peas. Plus if you figure in the amount of inceased crop production needed to replace the pounds of meat consumed yearly, we would need to almost double our row crop acres. Doesn't sound to sustainable to me. [/QUOTE]
