I am somewhat interested in meat substitutes as i have been flirting with the idea of being vegetarian though i hear that a lot of soy products come from a genetically modified crops so i really don't know what to think, i too think the cruelty in farming animals needs to come to an end or start trending downwards at the least...
Most things are a compromise unless you can grow it all yourself. The veggie stuff is often more expensive than meat
It is a difficult one as money and ethics rarely see eye to eye...
