Is it worth producing synthetic salmon?

I left the dinner feeling satisfied and confident that I would enjoy New School's product again if it were served to me, especially when it is so expertly prepared. But would I order it myself at a restaurant or buy it at a store? I'm not so clear about that, because I really love salmon, to the point of being picky about the ones that come from farms, and I don't think I should feel guilty about that.

And to focus on that guilt: if you're going to eat plant-based meat sub Phone Number List stitutes, instead of just eating plants that aren't trying to be anything more than that, what " specific purpose " do you expect them to serve?

If you have a philosophical objection to eating animal meat of any kind, but still crave its flavor, the choice is clear. But if your eating habits fall somewhere in that vague and somewhat cruel middle ground where some foods of animal origin, like foie gras , seem horrible to you, but others don't, the decision depends on each meal.

Maybe you are opposed to hamburgers, because of the environmental impacts of raising livestock or because of the health side effects of factory farming techniques. That concern could be addressed by switching to plant-based substitutes , like those from Impossible or Beyond Meat. But seafood is different.

Fish has a much smaller carbon footprint than beef or pork, although it is still possible to alter ecosystems with overfishing. And while you might resist eating an aquatic creature like an octopus that shows signs of higher-order thinking , salmon and other finned fish don't raise the same ethical concerns.



So until New School, or another plant-based seafood company, offers something that tastes even more delicious than salmon, which Bryson says is their ultimate goal, the appeal of their product remains questionable to me.

I thought about all of this while outlining this story. Then I grilled a tuna steak for dinner and enjoyed every last bite.
