Most everyone agrees that a meat based diet, especially conventional meat, is not great for Earth. Local meat, local and pasture raised, and lab based meat are all better alternatives. Even bugs!

There are those who choose a plant based diet over having meat at all. Lots of meat alternatives exist BUT we need to come up with different and/or better names for them. I had some “bacon” and as I was expecting pig based bacon, was disappointed. It tasted good but was not bacon. A friend ordered buffalo wings at a vegan place and expected something other than what he was served. There are good non-meat products that are tasty but we need to rebrand them because right now they do not fully replace our established meat products.
