Should Plant-Based Meat Replace Beef Completely? (pbs.org)

Long-time Slashdot reader tcd004 writes: Is beef still "what's for dinner?" Plant-based meat substitute startups say they could provide enough protein to feed the world using only 2% of the land on Earth, dramatically reducing the resources required to create beef products. And adopting plant-based burgers could help reduce heart disease, protect water resources, and stop deforestation. But Beef producers say no laboratory can beat a steer's ability to turn plant-based nutrition into tasty protein, and animals are the best source for natural fertilizer to grow crops. There's a coming war for your dinner plate. Who will prevail?

Murdering nigg3rs was a freedom.

You can eat beef if you get the cow's consent. Give them a choice to enter the slaughterhouse or not. Otherwise you are taking away the cow's freedom.
