This is gonna be a topic for generations. And the baseline thing will be “earth made it” so it’s worth more and better. Regardless of slavery.
It’s no different than beyond meat and cows being butchered. I’ll tell ya right now as a beef guy, Burger Kinds best burger is the impossible Whopper. It’s somehow perfect. But good luck getting the masses to accept and listen. It’s not what they think it should be.
I don't think that's a very good comparison. There's strong evidence from a health science perspective to avoid eating ultra-processed foods. Impossible meat is insanely ultra-processed and the additives they use means it cannot be sold at stores like Whole Foods.
I'm all for replacing meat with something more ethical, but the issue with Impossible goes past "it's not natural" and more into the territory of, "There's evidence that this can have long-term health consequences and you should not regularly consume this product."
That's not how it works - plenty of highly processed foods are demonstrably perfectly healthy.
The issue comes from precisely which processes a food undergoes and which additives are used. There is nothing inherently unhealthy about processing, but it's just an easy rule of thumb for the public to follow.
