Says report written with CEO of impossible foods.

Is it impossible to imagine we might get better at animal agriculture now that thee is attention to the carbon footprint?

You won't be able to tell people they are not allowed to eat real, natural meat. All hell would break out


> Is it impossible to imagine we might get better at animal agriculture now

Biochemistry is what it is.

So yes, as long as people insist on primarily eating vertebrates (cows, pigs, etc.), it is impossible.

With insect-based meat, the situation would be much different.


I guess you haven't heard about the red seaweed and reducing cow methane emissions?

Say something is impossible is a defeatist attitude, or perhaps the "my camp or you are evil" posturing that dominates contemporary online interaction.
