Ad: WARNING: Plant-Based Meat Can Have This Carcinogen - Clean Food Facts
Today we’re publishing a new ad in our national campaign about synthetic meats. The ad has run The Wall Street Journal, The Los Angeles Times, and The New York Times and questions whether plant-based meats need a cancer warning label. Shocked? You certainly might be if, like many unknowing...

Thanks pointing that out.The trouble is some people will be gullible enough to think fake meat is harmless. I myself will leave it at that.
Just a question on this whole questionable situation:
Could it be that owing to the fact that the farming industry has an aging demographic - there is no fierce unified fightback against this and other directed attacks on farming, as from outside in, it is quite concerning that there is very little push back on this?

The harm or otherwise has yet to be proven of course. The issue I have with it, apart from it ruining the rural economy, is that large scale factory production of the base foodstock could have equally large scale consequencies if something went wrong, whether that was a toxicity problem with a batch or a failure to produce for some mechanical reason. The beauty with our current system is that there are thousands of small producers that are proven to decrease risks and almost never fail to supply the market whatever the challenges.
so is making crisps and mars bars
The fact that eating meat causes cancer has yet to be proven, although there is a question mark against processed meat, but it doesn't stop it being quoted regularly so there's no reason why we shouldn't repeat claims against artificial meat
Wow, how long have you got? You think eveything in there is ok do you? You're happy with the author taking what Impossible Foods say in their propaganada as fact are you?
Aside from that, just looking at one thing: plant based foods provide a solution to diabetes. Not his words exactly, can't be bothered to look at the precise quote. Given that type 2 diabetes is a condition that is caused by the body becoming resistant to its own insulin, and that this comes about from overconsumption over a number of years of sugar/starch rich foods, and that these can only be found in plants, how is it that removing animal products from a human's diet can rectify this? Quite the contrary in reality. It's plant foods that cause type 2 diabetes. Tell me please, which animals provide us with starch and or sugar?

First rule in sales is not to attack the opposition but to point out the advantages of your own. Unless there is a cast iron undisputed case against the opposition's product. Yes, there are plenty, in fact a massive number of organisations, pressure groups and individuals attacking livestock farming currently and maybe there is something to be said for fighting dirty in response. I'm in two minds about that. I honestly don't think it would be effective considering the massive pressures against us going forward. The trend is already unstoppable I'm afraid and the pressure will only increase over the next decade where we will see massive changes in all aspects of our lives, as if the changes of the last eighteen months are not enough.
There is no fightback on here, because this isn't The Farming Forum it is The Retiring Landowner Forum. They will squeal indignation, but they won't do much. Not hungry enough.

There are massive numbers of the under 40's on this forum. Farmers will not do much only because they can't agree on the problem, or even that there is a problem, let alone agree on an answer to said problem.
I haven't got a landrover
Which problem?

Exactly. There's no hope.
That's the thing. There is no problem vis a vis cows and the environment, but so long as our national representatives say that there is, everyone is befuddled.
But: do you youngsters own the farm and make the decisions or is it still in the hands of the ageing farming parents, who dangle the proverbial carrott:
"One day me boy ( and not quite so often) me girl, this will all be yours.."

There is no proper scientific evidence that eating unprocessed meat has any unwelcome effect on the human body. The is some reasonable evidence that processed meats along with many other processed foods can be linked to detrimental effects on the body. Plant based meat substitutes fall into this category being highly processed with high levels of additives to make them palatable. Synthetic laboratory grown meat is essentially growing cancerous tumours but without the blood vessels and blood, nerve tissue, intramuscular fats, and connective tissue that affect the taste.

There's all sorts, no doubt. Nothing stopping the younger generations from being active whatever their domestic status.
There is if there is only one problem
How do you know what the farmers on TFF are doing ? Is it a condition of membership that we put everything on here? Do you want to know what I am having for lunch ? You comment that we are not hungry enough
