Bugs, crickets specifically iirc, have been touted as the miracle solution to getting protein in everyone’s diet without the ethical or environmental ramifications of the current meat industry.
This has nothing at all to do with the impossible burger, or any burger that I’m aware of… maybe the previous guy just thinks it tastes like bugs? …and fuck if they can make a bug patty taste as good as the impossible burger, then sign me up - the impossible is NOT bad. It’s not great either, I’d rank it as slightly better than the average fast food burger patty, but that’s good enough for me.
When the vegetable meat costs more than the animal meat, I can feel the “I’m being ripped off”. Make fake meat cheaper than real meat and I’ll eat it all day long.
Animal meat is subsidized heavily, plant meat is not. All we’d have to do is stop subsidizing animal agriculture and start subsidizing more plant alternatives.
I don’t know why this is downvoted. It seems perfectly reasonable to me as someone who has managed to cut most of the meat out of my diet. We definitely need affordable alternatives. Real meat is cheaper right now and that is the deciding factor for a lot of people.

Hopefully we will see this change soon.
