Has science cracked the code on mass producing realistic meat substitutes? Or are lab-gown alternative proteins an impossible dream? In this week's episode of Cleaning Up, Baroness Bryony Worthington sits down with president of the Good Food Institute‪@thegoodfoodinstitute3482‬) Bruce Friedrich, to explore the future of food. Friedrich details his vision for a more sustainable food system through technologies like plant-based and cultivated meat and outlines the promising progress and significant challenges remaining in scaling these novel proteins. Worthington and Friedrich debate the roles of policy, public opinion, and big agriculture in determining whether alternative proteins can truly transform our food system or remain niche.

We're delighted to have Bruce on the show this week to hear his thoughts on why alternative proteins are necessary, and all the obstacles that exist before they can be a regular part of people's diets. Let us know your takeaways from the podcast, and what you'd like to hear more about on this topic.

I liked the insight that alternative proteins may not be as good as a plant based diet but if it helps people move away from meat consumption it’s a step in the right direction.

Never ever at the moment, and as as long as we are not fully decarbonized it makes no sense!

Making plant based "meat" only works if you are not filling the "meat" with ultra-processed ingredients.

You don't need to use herbicides for growing chickens, they'll eat weeds themseves to supplement their diet. Growing veg uses most artificial herbicides and pesticides most made out of fossil fuels. These people always say that animals are inefficient at producing meat but just think that while they're growing they're also fertilising the ground without using fossil fuels. They also point to the methane produced but thic is a cycle so balances itself out just like burning biomass except that for biomass a lot of fossil fuel it used to transport it. Most European meat animals are grazed on land unsiutable forarrable us because it't too steep, wet, rocky or for some other reason eating grass and herbs inedible by humans. .I take it that this was recorded befor the Lancet report came out (today) "Vegan Fake Meats & Heart Disease, Early Death (study) " Humans have developed for 3 or 4 million years eating meat or fish so it can't be that unhealthy. Amazing what you can prove by being selective with your facts. The problem is not the food but the food processing industry. Fake meat is a scam.

"Fake meat is scam". Look, not saying you are wrong at this. Celluar agriculture provides real meat from real cells. This interview talks cellular agriculture for the most part.
