Guaranteed to be an unpopular post ...

The pandemic and to a much greater extent, climate change is going to force us humans into rethinking a whole lot of fundamentals. Not the least of which is how we produce and distribute food.

The diet that produces the lowest carbon footprint and uses the least amount of water is a plant-based diet. It's also happens to be the healthiest diet. Check out www.nutritionfacts.org.

For all of you meat-hungry fans living in Zihuatanejo, check out the cheeseburgers at Entre Zankas in downtown Zihua. You will be pleasantly surprised at the taste of some of the plant-based alternative to meat.

Okay, ready for the slings and arrows!

Hola
Now let's hear from a carnivore.
Most "tastes just like beef" products are made from processed soy,(not going to list references because they are easy to find). The processing destroys a lot of the nutrients. To make them taste like beef, they are loaded with a lot of chemicals. I checked out one fake beef burger and the list of additives was more than 20. That coupled with fact that soy is loaded with phytoestrogens, make them undesirable for me. Phytoestrogens are hormone mimicers and are not good.
I could go on, but that is enough.
