[QUOTE="wrenbird, post: 7685336, member: 20404"] There is going to be an interview with him on the BBC world news channel, having read the piece above on the beebs website there are a few questions that ought to be asked, but we all know won’t be. For example, in the above article it states that a study done by the University of Michigan found that his ‘beyond meat’ plant based burgers, used 99% less water to produce than an animal meat burger, (they kept calling it ‘animal meat’, all through the article, p*ssed me off no end). The study also found that the beyond meat burger had 90% fewer emissions, and used 93% less land to produce!! First question that should be asked, who funded the University of Michigan study, and what conclusions were they told they were supposed to be finding. Then the figures themselves, 99% less water to produce, 93% less land to produce !! How on earth can a product that lists among its many ingredients, peas, mung beans, beetroot juice and apple extract, use 99% less water and 93% less land than a beef burger? Unless they grow everything in fairy dust and water it in unicorn tears it is complete fantasy. A complete, thorough breakdown of exactly how those figures were arrived at is needed, then we can expect our national farming representatives to mount a robust challenge,….oh, wait…mmm. [/QUOTE]
