The future of food

The future of  food

AN OPINION ESSAY

As population expand and demand for meat grows, science is looking at how to feed everyone and preserve the environment. As a result, what we eat tomorrow will be a lot like what we eat today... Well, almost!

This article talks about four different themes: Moo-free meat, Bug burgers, Diary foods for vegans and Surf snacks. I think that the most interesting is the one about vegan food, so I’m only going to develop this one.

What about being vegan?

It’s true that going vegan comes with big restrictions in your diet. Refusing to exploit animals in any way rules out all forms of milk, yoghurt and cheese plus everything that contains eggs. And that’s true that you’re not allowed to eat a lot of good stuff, but with the years, you’ll see that you will have better health.

Don’t worry about all the things you can’t eat, the lab-food revolution is about to explode the idea of what can and can’t be part of a vegan diet. Already available in the USA, Not Mayo is an egg-free mayonnaise, soon to be followed by diary-free products such as Not Milk, Not Yoghurt and Not Cheese. They are all being produced by NotCo, which says that Not Mayo is priced the same as major brands and it’s more profitable because it isn’t made with eggs.

In conclusion, if you are vegan, you will have a better health, you will pay the same for products that are better for you, for the animals and the environment, and you won’t have to kill any animal just for a burger or a sandwich!

I believe that we all will become vegans one day!
