It’s about time.
Cows that have been genetically modified so they burp and fart less could have a major impact on climate change—potentially helping to reduce global warming by cutting methane emissions by half, scientists have said.
the cow still fart but the genetic modifications give them the ability to blame it on the farm dogs.
Wonder if they could do this for my sons on long car trips. The smell in the backseat melt steel.
I had the chance to try an impossible burger recently and I was pretty impressed. I think I could taste a difference, but without being told I don’t think I would have known it was not beef. The most fart free cow is one that doesn’t exist. I would be perfectly fine with eating impossible burgers going forward, at least at the fast food level.
In Ontario many restaurants started to serve “Beyond Meat” - a vegetarian meat substitute. To me it tastes as good as most low to mid priced cuts of meat / burger.
wouldn’t the humans fart more on the veggie substitute? On the principle of conservation of farts?

Down here in CA, Del Taco has picked up beyond meat for tacos, burritos, and now burgers. I tried the tacos and honestly could not tell the difference. Of course when you put all those spices in, that helps. But I have been eating beyond burgers for some time now, cooked a couple yesterday for the 4th bar-b-q. Like when I used to drink milk and cokes, going to low fat and diet was pretty easy. dont do either of those anymore, but this fake meat thing is beginning to take hold, just wish the prices would come down soon…

Uh have you looked at the label i think one burger was 20g of saturated fat? I tried them and they were okay but I was gobsmacked at how unhealthy they were
The prices are going to get lower. It’s really a brand new thing produced in low volume that doesn’t get subsidies. Whereas beef production has been industrialized for centuries and receives all kinds of government assistance.
When they are able to scale production and optimize their process, I would bet it becomes substantially cheaper. But it’s going to take a while because beef producers get so much government help.

That’s just not correct. I’m not saying they are health food, but at least you can spend 30 seconds and do the minimum possible research.

And I’m not even sure about the cooked numbers. Raw burgers have a lot of fat that drips off, not that I really care about fat. When you add cheese, bacon and whatever else on top of a crappy bun along with greasy fries, what difference does a few grams of fat matter?
Plus I believe a lot of the fat comes from coconut oil, which may have a lot of sat fat but I’m not sure if it’s as unhealthy as beef fat.

It was the total fat number that was high, my bad. I need to watch my fat and if I’m going to eat something not beef I need it to be healthier.

You should probably be more concerned about your carb intake. A low carb diet seems to be optimal for health, not a low fat diet.
In this case, I would be more concerned about the sodium content. General rule of thumb is that anything that has more mg of sodium than calories should be avoided (with exceptions for very low calorie foods).
