1 chapters across the catalog

The thermochemical process eliminates the need for animals or plants, claiming a land footprint a thousand times lower than traditional dairy farming. While promoted as a solution to climate change and deforestation, critics argue it is a "Franken-food" that lacks safety data and transparency regarding its chemical composition.
