"Lab-Grown Beef-Infused Rice: The New Frontier in Sustainable Protein"

South Korean scientists have developed lab-grown rice infused with beef and cow fat cells, creating a more nutritious and flavorsome dish with a tiny carbon footprint. While some experts are skeptical about its potential as a meat substitute due to its low meat content, others see promise in its potential to provide animal nutrients with significantly fewer greenhouse gas emissions and at a fraction of the cost of traditional meat. The rice, which retains a unique blend of aromas characteristic of meat, could offer a more affordable source of nutrition as traditional beef becomes more expensive, and future versions could incorporate other types of meat and fish protein.

"Swap Red Meat for This Protein to Lower Cholesterol and Shed Waist Fat, Study Finds"

A study from Northumbria University suggests that replacing meat with Quorn protein, a meat substitute derived from mycoprotein, may help lower cholesterol and reduce waist fat. Participants who consumed Quorn for two weeks experienced a 12% decrease in LDL cholesterol, a 7% decrease in total cholesterol, and an average reduction of nearly 1cm in waist circumference compared to those who consumed red and processed meat. Lowering cholesterol levels and maintaining a healthy waist circumference are important for reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. Quorn, a fungi-based protein, is recognized as a healthy source of protein and fiber and is included in the UK Government's healthy eating guidelines.
