Grams of protein in context

July 24, 2022July 25, 2022 Regenetarianism

One of the most meaningless stats bantered about by sophists is “grams of protein”. Why?

The PMOH Cycle

Deforestation is too often reduced to what’s most conspicuous. But deforestation is complex and a lot more than raising beef cattle or growing soybeans. To begin with, despite all the biodiversity especially of plant life, rain forest soil isn’t very … Continue reading The Deforestation Process

Just six points to keep in mind every time there’s a press release or article proclaiming cultured stems cells are the future of “meat”.
