Which Is Better For You, Real Meat Or Fake Meat?
A survey found that nearly two-thirds of Americans have eaten plant-based meat alternatives, motivated by health and environmental benefits. However, the article notes that there is not enough data to determine if plant-based meats have the same health benefits as replacing red meat with other options. Plant-based meat substitutes have a significantly lower environmental impact than farmed meat, but it remains uncertain how much lab-grown meat will reduce the environmental impact of the meat industry. Overall, if individuals care about animal welfare, public health, and the environment, plant-based meat alternatives are recommended.
