(9,796 posts)16. Plant protein isn't better
Protein is protein, your body doesn't distinguish one form from another. That's all of a school with the idea that eating any amount of animal fat is suicidal. It's bullshit alarmism. Protein is protein, fats are fats, your body doesn't care about the source.
Now, what I think will become more useful will be the consumption of vat-grown meat. This is something I read about a couple of years ago. Essentially, it cultures meat artifically. Real meat that tastes exactly the same but doesn't involve an animal.
