#Artificial Meat Products Market

[zvaigzdelasas]

Italy’s government has moved to ban the production of lab-grown meat, a landmark move the country’s right-wing government says it has taken to protect Italian culture and its agriculture sector. The country became the first in Europe to ban the cultivation of artificial meat with a bill signed into law Thursday after winning an overwhelming majority in Italy’s senate. Factories found to be producing lab-grown meat face fines of up to €150,000 ($162,700) under the new guidelines. “Cauliflower steaks” are also off the menu, as the country moved to ban the use of meat-related words to market vegetarian products. “Words like ‘tofu steak’ or ‘veg prosciutto’… reveal an inappropriate phenomenon of using labels traditionally associated with meat to sell products with vegetable protein,” [...]

Italy’s move to ban the products been praised by Italian agricultural groups, keen to protect the country’s €9.3 billion ($10.1 billion) meat-processing industry.[...]

Speaking to Politico, Lollobrigida, who is also Meloni’s brother-in-law, framed the move as one that would protect Italy’s heritage of producing salami and prosciutto.

the dark reality behind dairy

By World of Vegan.

Within the dairy realm, two narratives intertwine: the plight of the mothers and that of their offspring.

Artificial insemination serves as a harsh introduction to the dairy industry’s cycle of exploitation. Unlike the natural way to get pregnant, female cows within commercial dairy farms are subjected to an intrusive process that blatantly violates their reproductive system.

This invasive procedure forces cows into a perpetual cycle of pregnancies, denying them the right to choose their mates or control their reproductive destinies.

Just like human mothers, a female cow has a nine-month gestation period. And after giving birth, calves typically nurse from their mothers for 6 months or longer.

But in the dairy industry, once her calf is born, she’ll experience a mere day or two of companionship—sometime less—before her calf is forcefully separated from her to prevent the loss of even a drop of valuable milk, which would cut into the profits of the dairy industry. This is the last time the mother will see her baby.

Like most moms, cows have powerful maternal instincts and are extremely distressed when their babies are taken away from them. Their anguished bellows can be heard for up to a mile away. Some cows are so distraught that they will even stop eating.

Post-separation, the mother cows are subjected to mechanical milking—a stark contrast to the nostalgic image of a farmer hand-milking a cow.

As soon as her baby is taken away, the mother will be hooked up to a milking machine to take the milk that her body made for her calf. In natural circumstances, nursing cows produce just 12 to 15 pounds of milk each day and calves nurse all day long.

But in the majority of today’s dairy operations, a mother cow will produce a staggering 50 pounds of milk daily. The pressure of her painfully loaded udder will only be relieved by mechanical milking twice a day, which often leads to mastitis and other excruciatingly painful conditions.

As time progresses, milk production wanes, initiating a vicious cycle of repeated artificial impregnation, bereavement, and mechanical milking.

This cycle persists yearly until these cows meet a grim fate—slaughtered as adolescents, their natural lifespan of 25 to 30 years cut short. Their bodies, devoid of milk-production utility, are often processed into meat products, most often burgers.

Shifting focus to their offspring, USDA statistics reveal that 97 percent of calves are separated from their mothers within the first 12 hours of birth.

Female calves, like their mothers, confront a bleak fate. Denied maternal nourishment, they are confined in solitary and often cramped pens, where they have no way to find comfort or nurse from their mother.

Replacing mother’s milk with a formula, they endure this existence for 6-8 months, foregoing a natural upbringing characterized by play, bonding, and freedom.

Once fertile, the cycle of forced impregnation, grief, mechanical milking, and eventual slaughter begins anew.

50 percent of the babies born will be male, and a male calf has little financial value to the dairy industry because he’ll never produce milk.

In most situations he’ll either be kept and raised for beef, slaughtered immediately for cheap veal, or sent to a torturous facility to become higher priced veal.

On a veal farm the baby calf will be confined in a small space in which he can barely move and fed an iron-poor diet until he becomes severely anemic. His muscles will atrophy, and at just a few months of age, he’ll be slaughtered. His tender, pale flesh will be sold as veal.

You may be surprised to learn that marketing buzzwords like “Organic, Grass-Fed and Free-range” you might see on meat, dairy, and egg labels don’t guarantee better lives for the animals.

The mechanics remain the same, including the unavoidable separation of baby from mother, painful surgical mutilations without anesthetic, factory-style milking, and premature slaughter.

These terms, designed to attract compassionate consumers, fail to dismantle the core mechanisms of exploitation.

Considering the immense suffering, is the fleeting gustatory pleasure of cow’s milk truly worth it? The array of delicious, plant-based alternatives renders this question obsolete. Opting for both taste and compassion aligns with our evolving food landscape.

Our grocery choices equate to votes for the world we desire. While personal, these choices transcend the individual, impacting the lives of others.

Opting for animal-based dairy entails contributing to a continuum of suffering. Awareness fuels change. Acknowledging one’s past contributions to cruelty ignites a journey toward more humane choices. Armed with knowledge, we navigate a path of greater compassion, for when we know better, we can genuinely do better.

The Big Food industry spent billions teaching you what to think about food. Everything you've been taught about eating is WRONG. Here's 20 tips to educate yourself:

1) The inner aisles of a grocery store are engineered to taste good and keep you coming back for more. They are closer to drugs than REAL food.

2) Eating 5-7x a day is not the way to boost your metabolism but its a great way to create insulin resistance.

3) You don't need more supplements. You need a whole foods diet.

4) There's nothing healthy about fruit drinks. They are liquid sugar IVs. 100% juice is still 100% garbage for your body.

5) Breakfast can be the most important meal of the day but not when your routine is eating 3 bowls of cereal. If you're going to eat breakfast start with hitting 30+ grams of protein to start your day.

6) The food pyramid maximized profits and destroyed people's health.

7) Vegetable oils are closer to industrial waste than they are vegetables. Stick with coconut, avocado, olive, and butter.

8) Terms like natural, heart healthy, and multigrain are marketing terms that have nothing to do with that food improving your health.

9) Heart disease wasn't a serious issue until the past several decades, yet red meat and eggs which have been eaten for thousands of years have become the scapegoat for what processed foods and insulin resistance have done.

10) Calories in, calories out sound great unless your diet is full of empty calories. Nutrient density matters when it comes to hormonal balance, metabolism, and overall health.

11) Low fat is usually just a smoke screen for high sugar, increased triglycerides, insulin resistance, and heart disease.

12) The sun has endless nutritional benefits and comes at zero cost and free of calories.

13) Everything in moderation is illogical. Just because your body can deal with certain foods doesn't mean its good for you.

14) Creatine isn't just for bodybuilders, it's for everyone. It's cheap, safe, and has cognitive benefits in addition to its impact on muscle.

15) You don't need energy drinks. You need a high protein diet and better quality sleep. Something as simple as magnesium before bed can have a huge impact on improving the quality of your sleep.

16) Artificial sweeteners lack sugar but can destroy your gut health.

17) Drinking alcohol because it's good for you in some way is bullshit. It's a toxin. If you want to enjoy it fine but don't use your health to justify it.

18) If it's designed to sit on a shelf for a year it's not food.

19) An exclusively plant based diet lacks essential nutrients. Don't be fooled by products like Beyond Meat which require high levels of processing to create a cheap alternative "food".

20) Cholesterol is the boogeyman you have been told to fear but cholesterol is naturally occurring and dietary intake of cholesterol is not strongly understood or supported by the data to cause heart disease.

P.S. Food companies are enabled by limited regulation to prioritize max profits over consumer health. It's important to be an educated consumer. You are responsible for your own health. Think critically and stick to the basics. If it wasn't eaten 100 years ago it's not worth eating!!

Needlessly Pedantic Answers to Worldbuilding Questions that Don't Matter That Much to Begin With, Episode #1:

why is everyone in your fictional world an animal? what do they eat? are there any non-sapient animals? is it more of a "Zootopia or Beastars" type situation? how does anatomy change across certain species?

so as nobody may know, i write about a lot of fictional worlds and one of them is your standard diverse furry society. while these are quite fun to mess around with, they tend to bring up a lot of questions (that technically don't matter too much, i mean you're just telling a fictional story for god's sake) about how the world works. and there's especially a lot of questions raised in my case because my world doesn't just feature mammals, but also reptiles, birds, amphibians, fish, and so on, so you wonder how differently they live, if at all. i'm gonna be evil and answer all of those questions that exactly -2 people have asked today!

1: why is everyone an animal?

of course, the real reason is because it's fun to explore stories and create characters that aren't human, and it's especially a fun opportunity to experiment with character design! but for a more in-universe reason, the gods like to take inspiration from each other and will tend to build off of each other's ideas. this world was made by the wandering god Belet, who became inspired after visiting several worlds of other gods. they were curious about creating a world where multiple sapient species exist, since it was a common trend in other worlds for only one dominant species existing at a time.

2. what do they eat?

naturally, all species are vegetarian, although some areas of the world have gotten to the point of inventing artificial foods adjacent to plant-based meat. the idea of cannibalism or killing other people to eat hasn't really been explored due to being kinda... dubious. but i guess it's up in the air. although it may sound weird, the practice of selling one's own dairy products and other non-meat animal products is quite normalized. it's basically just seen as the same level of normal as selling any other food items you make.

3. are there any non-sapient animals?

so far? nope. but that might get retconned in the future, i dunno. i haven't published enough about this world so i'm still able to reconsider if i wanted to. but as of right now, basically every single organism from the animalia kingdom is anthropomorphized, with a few exceptions. (exceptions usually being organisms i have no clue how to anthropomorphize lmao)

4. is it more of a "zootopia or beastars" type situation?

to expand on this question, it's basically asking for more information on how society functions and how fucked it is, if at all. initially i said it was going to be a utopia of sorts- i retconned that, lol, because it seems like i can't ever write about a truly happy world. it's definitely one of my better worlds to live in, but it's by no means perfect. i wouldn't say it's Beastars levels of messed up (black markets selling dubious meat and carnal instincts telling you to eat your friends) but it's probably not as cutesy as, say, Zootopia is on the surface level, although i do like how it tackled systemic racism and whatnot. i guess it's somewhere in between. there isn't anything going on that's straight out of a psychological horror movie but there's definitely inequality and tension everywhere.

5. how does anatomy change across certain species?

outside of the very obvious base change of every animal becoming anthropomorphic and thus more human-like, there's a couple other changes, such as necessary internal anatomy shifting around so all creatures can live on land properly, plus the ability to be able to speak the same languages, stuff like that. arthropods are a bit trickier (like oh my god so much would have to change) but i usually just explain that they're built different and call it a day. for my sanity. cold blooded animals are able to somewhat thermoregulate on their own, but will still largely rely on their surroundings. if you're cold, they're cold. wrap your lizard girls in blankets. also, all animals are similarly sized, but some tend to be slightly larger/smaller on average depending on the species. like, an old elephant man is gonna be MUCH taller than a moth lady lol.

oh, and an extremely unnecessary addition that i only expanded on because of the fact that i had to face the logical issue of giving my reptile characters boobs: non-mammalian animals will still tend to have visible "breasts" due to having the general silhouette of a human, but they don't produce milk or function at all outside of looks. some non-mammalians prefer to get their "breast" tissue surgically removed due to the fact that it serves basically no purpose for them.

that's about where the biological similarities end, though. when it comes to reproduction, biological compatibility largely follows the same odds as it would in the real world, so you sadly won't see many wolf/komodo dragon hybrids hanging out. this also tends to be a source of interspecies-relationship discrimination, and not to mention eugenics...

some miscellaneous tidbits:

-in terms of technology and resources, i'd say this world is about as advanced, if not a little more than our own. it's no sci-fi paradise but there are some significant advancements made that definitely outdo us, such as the research and technology poured into environment conservation and space exploration (the latter of which may or may not be one of the main topics of a story i'm working on... :3)

-trans healthcare is also reasonably advanced, although that doesn't imply there's less transphobia.

-yes, there's probably some unique version of veganism in this world, but instead of not eating animals it'd be like... fungi. or certain types of plants. or maybe even animal products anyways, despite the fact that they're normalized, for one reason or another.

-ohhhh clothes work so differently depending on what kind of animal you are. but i cannot get into that here. not without going insane. just know that i have been thinking about it a lot. there are entire different kinds of clothing for certain body types, just not the definition of body type you'd initially think of. there's specific clothing for the winged. the tailed and the non-tailed. the quilled. the feathered. the slimed. its insane

[magnetothemagnificent]

Random but is artificial/lab-cultured meat kosher?

It's complicated.

First, there are a lot of potential Halakhic issues we need to dissect:

-Ever Min HaChai: The prohibition against consuming meat from an animal that is still alive. Currently, "lab-cultured meat" utilyzes cells from a still living animal. Would that be considered eating flesh from a live animal? How small a quanitity of live cells would it have to be to not constitute Ever Min HaChai?

-Is the "source" animal kosher/ fit for consumption?: If the animal isn't kosher, how small would the amount of cells have to be that they're not regarded?

-Mar'it Ayin: The custom to not do something that might appear as doing an Averah so as to not lead others astray. If the artificial meat, whether or not it's just really good plant-based imitation or lab-grown, looks like inherently non-kosher meat like pork, would it constitute as Mar'it Ayin for a kosher-keeping Jew to eat? If a kosher-keeping Jew is seen eating it, would we have to worry that someone would think it's actually pork, and be led astray?

These are some of the many discussions that are taking place among Halakhic authorities.

With that in mind, "lab-cultured meat" hasn't yet been released for general consumption, and is still in the experimental stage. The Halakhic status of "lab-cultured meat" is still up for debate, because it's extremely complicated. It's at the moment, a very deep Makhloket- Halakhic debate.

"Impossible Pork", highly realistic plant-based "pork", has been ruled as non-kosher by the Orthodox Union because of concerns of Mar'it Ayin. The ingrediants in "Impossible Pork" are kosher, and indeed other "Impossible" products are certified kosher, but the Orthodox Union would not give its certification. Whether other kashrut agencies will certify it remains to be seen.

Now, my personal opinion: I'm vegetarian. I'm also very much aware of the laws of Ever Min HaChai. For myself, I don't think I'd eat "lab-cultured meat". I don't eat meat anyway, so I don't really have any desire to have meat. It just feels halakhically grey and icky to me, too. But, that's my personal choice, and "lab-cultured meat" isn't on the market yet, and I'm by no means a halakhic authority.

How Innovation Is Reshaping the Food Industry

Food innovation refers to introducing novel ideas, products, and technologies that change how society produces, processes, packages, distributes, and consumes food. It goes beyond merely creating new recipes or flavors - food innovation encompasses advances in agriculture, food science, sustainability, and packaging. The goal is to enhance efficiency, safety, nutrition, and the overall consumer experience.

The need for food innovation arises from the ever-changing demands of consumers and the pressing challenges faced by the industry. As the global population continues to grow, so does the demand for food. Additionally, sustainability concerns, climate change, and limited resources prompt exploring alternative food growing and production methods. Innovations in food aim to enhance food security, minimize environmental impact, and offer consumers healthier, more diverse options.

Food innovation occurs through a combination of research, collaboration, and creativity. Scientists, entrepreneurs, farmers, and food industry professionals work together to develop new technologies and processes. Research institutions and startups play a crucial role in conducting experiments, testing new concepts, and bringing innovative products to the market.

In recent years, the food industry has witnessed groundbreaking innovations reshaping how people interact with food. The plant-based movement has gained immense traction, with plant-based alternatives for meat, dairy, and seafood becoming mainstream. Companies have developed plant-based burgers, vegan cheeses, and sustainable seafood alternatives using cutting-edge technologies. Beyond plant-based options, innovations have also focused on alternative protein sources, such as insect-based proteins and lab-grown meats, offering sustainable and protein-rich alternatives.

Swedish startup Mycorena is boosting microbial protein production through its fungi-based mycoprotein called Promyc. This ingredient can be used to create meat and tuna alternatives, beverage additives, and dessert ingredients, offering plant-based and sustainable options for consumers.

Finnish startup Onego Bio has developed a product genetically identical to egg whites using fermentation, and without using actual chickens. It uses precision fermentation of a microflora called Trichoderma reesei to produce ovalbumin, the protein found in chicken egg whites. This technology offers a sustainable and animal-friendly alternative for various food applications, including baked goods, desserts, sauces, and dressings.

Companies like New Culture are incorporating animal-free casein into their cheeses through precision fermentation. This breakthrough allows them to produce animal-free mozzarella cheese, offering a delicious and cruelty-free alternative to traditional dairy products.

In addition, consumers increasingly seek transparency in food choices, leading to the clean label movement. Brands are responding by using simple natural ingredients and avoiding artificial additives and preservatives.

Breakthrough innovations in the food industry are revolutionizing how society grows, produces, and consumes food, focusing on sustainability, nutrition, and convenience. One such innovation is plastic-free and smart packaging. Food companies are exploring biodegradable and even edible packaging solutions in response to environmental concerns. Smart packaging using nanotechnology is also gaining popularity, allowing consumers to assess food safety and quality easily.

The Internet of Things (IoT) in agriculture employs sensors and data analytics for optimizing crop conditions, irrigation, and pest control, reducing resource usage. Food waste reduction solutions, such as surplus food redistribution platforms, are being developed to combat the global food waste crisis. Moreover, biotechnology and data science advances enable personalized nutrition, tailoring dietary recommendations to individuals based on their genetic makeup, lifestyle, and health goals. These innovations promise a more sustainable, healthier, and efficient food future.

Food innovation is driving a remarkable transformation in the food industry, responding to the challenges and opportunities of today. From new plant-based products to sustainable agriculture and cutting-edge technologies, the future of food promises to be more diverse, nutritious, and sustainable. As consumers, entrepreneurs, and stakeholders continue to embrace innovation, the food industry's journey toward a more resilient and conscious future is set to continue.

i would love to be part of the just consume less crowd unfortunately i don't think this is ever going to bring about any meaningful change in production because the production circle under capitalism is so divorced from the consumer's needs. bourgeois economic theory loves to hold up the tale of supply and demand but this idea that has been repeated countless times by every neoliberal politician under the sun does not accurately capture the real material circumstances behind economic processes because how much profit a corporation makes hinges less on the total amount of goods sold and more on the efficiency of the process of production (producing a specific amount of goods as fast as possible at the lowest possible cost). this contradiction (a capitalist needs a lot of cheap workers to produce his goods for him but he also needs consumers who are able buy these goods once they have been produced) is why the capitalist system already causes overproduction crises to happen organically every few decades or so. what cutting down on our consumption does is it deliberately brings about such a state of there being more products than customers to pay for them which is a state that we know from experience capitalism can survive through downsizing, state subventions and the artificial increase of demand (e.g. through planned obsolescence). the best result we can hope for by collectively cutting down on our consumption of a specific product e.g. meat is for a few corporations in that sector to go bankrupt (and a lot of workers losing their jobs because those are the people that suffer the most from economic recessions) but once the market has downsized enough for production to start again things are going to go back to how they were before because the material interests of the bourgeoisie that drive them to produce have not changed.

Happy WBW! What is the most deadly weapon in your world?

Thank you for the ask!

Ekatism Tech

Ekatism Tech, the creation of which catalyzed the Age of Glass and Metal, allowed for the capture and processing of lifeforce, essentially converting a soul into a workable source of energy. This technology was developed by the human researcher and sage, Tagalan Ekat. Ironically, by the time of her death, she actively campaigned against her own invention.

Ekatism Tech was originally intended for benevolent purposes. It was meant to enable physicians and caretakers to transfer some of their own strength and vitality into others, aiding in better recovery. However, it was quickly discovered that this capture and transfer of energy could be done without the consent of the person being drained. Moreover, the energy or magical power taken from an individual didn’t have to be stored in a living body but could be put into inanimate vessels for later use.

The process of collecting souls for energy was first tested on prisoners, with the energy taken from them used to light the very prisons they inhabited. Several nations legalized the use of Ekatism Tech in hospitals to “utilize” dying or otherwise unresponsive patients, including its own inventor, Tagalan Ekat. In time, Ekatism Execution became the preferred method of execution in most Pre-Calamity nations.

The Ekatism Corporation, in cooperation with the agricultural sector, began to use the technology in slaughterhouses to kill livestock, using the resultant energy to light cities and fuel an Industrial Revolution. This led to a dramatic increase in meat consumption, with the average Pre-Calamity civilian consuming 780% more meat and meat by-products than their Post-Calamity counterparts. 

Energy specifically sourced from animal life was marketed as “humane” and considerably cheaper, while energy sourced from prisoners and the dying was sold at a far cheaper rate. However, once a soul was broken down into energy, it could not be reverted, and evidence suggested that the soul might still retain some level of awareness in this state. This process resulted in the permanent destruction of souls, preventing reincarnation and causing massive ecological destruction both on Kobani and in other worlds within the Cycle of Reincarnation.

Ekatism Tech was eventually co-opted by military groups, resulting in the development of guns and bombs. The Ekatsim Rifle M4, the most popular of its kind, could shoot a miniature Ekatism apparatus instead of a bullet. Upon penetrating a living being, the apparatus would absorb their energy, killing the individual. These pellets could then be retrieved and repurposed. More advanced weapons capable of draining multiple individuals at once were also invented.

The most feared weapon was the Sage-Suit, a metal exoskeleton that allowed the user to collect and utilize energy for various purposes, similar to how a sage uses magic but without the physical degradation. Sage-Suits became emblematic of a new, Ekatism-fueled world. The need for conventional fuel in warfare became irrelevant, as the enemy themselves became a fuel source. Successful invasions or military operations had a direct influence on energy prices for consumers, as the energy produced from enemy combatants (and non-combatants) flooded the market. Several nations even legalized the use of Ekatism Tech on prisoners of war.

Ekatism Tech was responsible for the near-total annihilation of the Tree-Tender people and several other groups. Further developments allowed for the technology's use on plant life and spirits. Concurrently, technology was perfected to infuse energy into fetuses in utero, creating artificially enhanced Spiritbloods. These Spiritbloods were utilized as super-soldiers, often further enhanced by Sage-Suits and Ekatism Implants.

The destructive potential of Ekatism Tech eventually gained the attention and ire of the Gods, leading to the total destruction of all human cities and over 99% of the population in an event known as the Calamity. Despite this, some pieces of Ekatism Tech still exist, scattered in the remote and hidden places of Kobani, waiting to be discovered once more.

Crisco is a vegan cooking fat and an icon of the Ashkenazi-Jewish American Dream. 

For over a century, the strange, oily gloop has graced kosher restaurants, holiday cookbooks and hand-scribbled recipe cards in Jewish homes across the nation, becoming a (contested) symbol of Jewish American identity and culinary tradition . 

But how did Judaism get to Crisco as America is to apple pie? The answer lies at the intersection of early 20th-century consumerism and Jewish American culture. 

First, we need to take a look at the origins of Crisco itself. Debuted in 1911 as a product of Cincinnati’s Procter & Gamble Co., it started as a strange solution to a strange problem. Textile production skyrocketed during the Industrial Revolution, leaving America with a surplus of leftover cotton seeds. No one could figure out what to do with them — until chemists learned to extract the oil and combine it with hydrogen, which created a cheap alternative to animal-based fats like lard and tallow. Initially, Procter & Gamble intended to use the new substance to make candles. But they ended up selling it as a food product, instead. 

The public wasn’t totally sold on the idea. Aside from sneaky CEOs cutting costs by substituting it for pricier olive oil, cottonseed oil wasn’t typically used in the food business. It was primarily intended for soap, artificial dyes and explosives. There was even some debate over whether cottonseed oil is really a food (spoiler: it isn’t; Procter & Gamble would later switch to other vegetarian oils). 

Eventually it caught on with the help of some clever, if somewhat dishonest, marketing. But sales still weren’t remarkable among established Americans. Given the product’s versatile non-dairy, non-meat nature, Procter & Gamble’s PR team decided to give a hard sell to the nation’s newly minted community of Eastern European Jewish immigrants. One 1913 newspaper advertisement, printed in English and Yiddish and distributed throughout the United States, made the lofty claim that “The Hebrew Race has been waiting 4,000 years for Crisco.” 

4,000 years! 4,000 years spent wandering through deserts and across the globe, all for… non-dairy shortening? Shockingly, the ploy worked; American Jews went wild for Crisco — and haven’t looked back since. 

There are evident perks: It’s kosher, and pareve, too. That means that, when she has Crisco on hand, the good Jewish housewife doesn’t need to buy both schmaltz — for meat — and butter — for dairy — thus saving money and resources. And, a hundred or so years ago, Crisco was considered (or, at least, marketed as) a healthy alternative to traditional animal-based cooking fats. 

But more important was Crisco’s cultural significance. For new immigrants, the feeling of belonging was vital. There was a constant struggle between old and new, religion and nation, and tradition and assimilation. Here was a practical solution that didn’t require compromise. Kosher enough for the rabbi, stylish enough for the all-American woman and economical to boot, Crisco was a tasty, practical reminder that you could be both Jewish and American — and be so with class and tact. 

Procter & Gamble’s 1933 cookbook, “Crisco Recipes for the Jewish Housewife,” cemented the product’s popularity within the Jewish community. Each recipe was printed in both English and Yiddish. Offerings ranged from traditional favorites, like kugel, to American icons such as southern fried chicken and macaroni salad — all, of course, with a generous helping of Crisco. Despite the economic hardship of the Great Depression, sales continued to soar. Over the course of a century, Crisco grew from its resourceful beginnings to the heart of American Jewish cooking. 

In recent years, though, Crisco has amassed slews of controversy. For one thing, it’s been condemned for ruining the magic of traditional (i.e., schmaltzy) Jewish cooking with its sub-par flavor. Perhaps more shocking is the revelation that Crisco, marketed as an “all-vegetable shortening” doesn’t actually include any vegetables — at all. Even though it’s no longer made from cottonseed oil, Crisco’s modern key ingredients, soybean and palm oil, aren’t derived from vegetables, or even fruits, but from grains. They’re not particularly healthy or environmentally friendly, either. So, while definitely a little more edible, modern Crisco is not exactly a huge improvement on its cottonseed predecessor. 

Why do we continue to use Crisco? I think that, like with many Ashkenazi Jewish cultural rites, the answer can be most accurately summed up by Tevye in “Fiddler on the Roof”: TRADITION! So next time you bite into a Crisco-coated latke, or hamantaschen, or maybe even fried chicken, you too can follow in the footsteps of our foremothers and savor the unctuous, oily flavor of Jewish American history.

Finding A High-Quality Biltong: What To Look For?

Biltong is a dried meat product and its typically made from beef and can be eaten as part of a meal or as an appetizer. You can buy biltong Aucklandat grocery stores, but if you want the highest-quality product, then it's best to get your own biltong maker and make it yourself. Here are some tips for finding the best biltong maker on the market:

Moisture

Moisture is essential to quality biltong._ It’s not just the drying process that determines its quality, but also how it was stored before being dried.

The optimum moisture content of biltong is 55-65 percent. If it’s too dry (less than 55 percent), the meat will be hard and chewy, while if it’s too moist (more than 65 percent) it will be soft and sticky.

Texture

The texture of your biltong should be tender and chewy, but not too soft or tough. You want to be able to bite through the meat easily, with a good snap when you bite into it. 

If the biltong is too brittle then it will break apart in chunks when you try to chew on it, which can make for an unpleasant experience!

The best biltong is always made from quality meat that has been cut into thin strips. If you buy it in a store then make sure that the meat is lean and free of any fat or gristle.

Flavor

Flavor is the most important factor when choosing a biltong. The meat should not be too salty, dry, or fatty. Biltong that is too salty will leave you thirsty for hours and will make you feel like you need to drink more water than usual. 

Some best biltong Auckland producers add salt to their meat in order to preserve it longer, but this can be overdone and make the end product unpalatable.

The other extreme is when there isn't enough fat content in your biltong—this can also leave you feeling unsatisfied after eating it. On top of that, if there's not enough fat in your biltong then it's likely that they used an excessive amount of preservatives which makes them taste extremely artificial as well as having a dehydrating effect on your body long-term.

So always look out for meaty pieces with just enough marbling throughout each piece without being too fattened up either (you don't want something resembling bacon here)!

Spice level.

Spice level is a personal preference. High-quality biltong can be spicy, but not too spicy, and some people like a milder flavor while some people like a stronger one.

If you're new to biltong, it's best to start with the medium spice level and go from there. You can always add more spices later if you want to!

Biltong is best served with a good mustard or chutney. If you're not sure what to get, our traditional biltong spice mix contains a blend of all-natural spices that complement the flavor of beef.

Conclusion

After reading this article, you should have a better idea of what to look for in a high-quality biltong Auckland. We hope that it helps you make an informed decision when buying your next pack, which will be delicious and satisfying!

Pea Protein Industry in Europe Gains Momentum with Health and Sustainability Trends

Europe Pea Protein Market Overview

The Europe Pea Protein Market is projected to expand significantly over the next five years, fueled by increasing consumer interest in plant-based diets and sustainable food sources. The market, which is valued at USD 204.5 million in 2024, is expected to reach USD 317.60 million by 2029, reflecting a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.20% during the forecast period.

Pea protein, extracted from yellow peas, has gained popularity as a plant-based alternative to animal proteins. It is known for its nutritional benefits, being rich in amino acids, iron, and easily digestible protein. As consumers increasingly focus on health, wellness, and ethical consumption, the demand for pea protein is rising across Europe, particularly within the food, beverage, and nutraceutical sectors.

Key Trends in the Europe Pea Protein Market

Shift Toward Plant-Based Diets European consumers are progressively embracing plant-based lifestyles, whether for health reasons, environmental concerns, or animal welfare. The demand for protein alternatives has surged as more people turn to flexitarian, vegetarian, and vegan diets. Pea protein, with its functional and nutritional properties, fits perfectly into this growing trend.

Rising Demand for Clean Label Products Consumers are increasingly seeking clean-label food products—those that are natural, minimally processed, and free from artificial ingredients. Pea protein is seen as a clean, sustainable alternative to soy and whey proteins, appealing to health-conscious shoppers who prioritize transparency in their food choices.

Growth in Sports Nutrition The sports nutrition industry has shown a strong inclination toward plant-based protein sources, with pea protein emerging as a key ingredient in protein powders, bars, and supplements. Its digestibility and muscle recovery benefits make it a preferred choice for athletes and fitness enthusiasts looking for dairy-free options.

Sustainability Driving Innovation With growing awareness of environmental sustainability, the European food industry is exploring eco-friendly protein sources. Pea protein has a lower environmental impact compared to animal-based proteins, making it a sustainable alternative that aligns with Europe’s broader goals of reducing carbon footprints in the food sector.

Increased Investment in R&D Innovation in pea protein formulations is accelerating, with companies investing in research and development to improve texture, taste, and functionality. Advances in processing technologies are making pea protein more versatile and palatable, helping to expand its applications in a variety of food products, from plant-based meats to dairy alternatives.

Challenges in the Europe Pea Protein Market

Despite its strong growth potential, the Europe pea protein market faces several challenges. One significant hurdle is the higher production cost of pea protein compared to conventional animal proteins and other plant-based alternatives like soy. This can limit its affordability for consumers and reduce its competitive edge in price-sensitive markets.

Moreover, sensory issues such as taste and texture can be a barrier to consumer acceptance. Pea protein tends to have a somewhat earthy flavor, which can be difficult to mask in food products. However, ongoing advancements in food science are improving the sensory profile of pea protein, making it more appealing to a wider audience.

Lastly, the market is competitive, with other plant-based proteins such as soy, rice, and hemp vying for market share. To stay competitive, pea protein manufacturers need to focus on product differentiation and communicate its unique benefits effectively.

Conclusion

The Europe pea protein market is poised for significant growth, driven by rising demand for plant-based diets, sustainability, and clean-label products. While challenges such as higher production costs and sensory issues persist, ongoing innovations are improving the appeal of pea protein. With growing applications in food, beverages, and sports nutrition, pea protein is set to become a key player in Europe’s evolving plant-based protein market

From Plant to Protein: The Clean Choice for a Healthier You

As the world increasingly turns toward plant-based nutrition, vegan protein powders have become a staple for those who value both health and sustainability. Whether you're an athlete, a fitness enthusiast, or simply someone trying to incorporate more plant-based foods into your diet, vitality powder offers a convenient way to meet daily protein needs without compromising on ethics or quality. Among the rising stars in this space is Label The Earth, a brand available through the online platform Esther Mall. This eco-conscious brand represents a shift in the way consumers view nutrition—one where sustainability, health, and taste go hand in hand.

The Rise of Vegan Protein Powder

Historically, protein powders have been dominated by whey, a byproduct of the dairy industry. But as more people become aware of the environmental and ethical impacts of animal-based products, the demand for plant-based alternatives has soared. Vegan protein powder has evolved from niche health food stores into mainstream supermarket shelves and online marketplaces, appealing to vegans, vegetarians, and omnivores alike. Brands like Label The Earth are now at the forefront of this movement, offering protein powders that align with environmentally friendly values while delivering high-quality nutrition.

The Nutritional Powerhouse in Vegan Protein Powder

One of the most significant misconceptions about plant-based diets is the notion that they lack sufficient protein. In reality, vegan protein powders like those from Label The Earth are formulated to provide all essential amino acids, making them a complete source of protein. Derived from sources such as peas, hemp, brown rice, and pumpkin seeds, these powders are packed with a range of nutrients beyond protein, including fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They are naturally free from cholesterol, low in fat, and often easier to digest than dairy-based counterparts, making them an ideal option for those with dietary sensitivities or preferences.

The protein content in these powders typically ranges from 15 to 25 grams per serving, a comparable level to whey protein. This makes vegan protein powder suitable for muscle recovery, weight management, and overall health maintenance. Additionally, the inclusion of superfoods and natural sweeteners in many formulations ensures that users are not only getting a protein boost but also a variety of micronutrients that support optimal health.

The Environmental and Ethical Edge

A key reason behind the growing popularity of vegan protein powder is its minimal environmental impact compared to animal-based protein. The production of vegan protein requires fewer resources, including water and land, and generates significantly less greenhouse gas emissions. For environmentally conscious consumers, this is a crucial factor when deciding what to add to their diets. Label The Earth amplifies this by sourcing ingredients from sustainable farms and utilizing eco-friendly packaging, making their products as gentle on the planet as they are on your body.

Moreover, the ethical considerations behind vegan protein powders are hard to ignore. Traditional protein sources like meat and dairy are often linked to practices that involve animal cruelty and exploitation. By opting for a plant-based alternative, consumers can enjoy their post-workout shake without contributing to the negative aspects of factory farming. Label The Earth stands out by ensuring that every aspect of their production—from sourcing ingredients to packaging—is in line with cruelty-free and ethical standards.

How Label The Earth Stands Out in a Competitive Market

In a crowded marketplace, Label The Earth distinguishes itself with a commitment to transparency and quality. Each product is carefully crafted to ensure the highest levels of purity and potency. Their protein powders contain no artificial flavors, sweeteners, or preservatives—just clean, whole-food ingredients. The brand's emphasis on minimalism extends to their ingredient list, which is short and simple, focusing on potent plant-based proteins that are easily absorbed and utilized by the body.

Their range includes various flavors and protein blends, catering to diverse palates and dietary needs. Whether you're looking for a simple unflavored option to blend into your morning smoothie or a decadent chocolate-flavored shake for post-workout recovery, Label The Earth has you covered. Each product is designed with versatility in mind, allowing you to incorporate it into meals, shakes, or even baked goods without sacrificing taste or texture.

The Taste Test: How Vegan Protein Stacks Up

Taste has long been a sticking point for many when considering vegan protein powders. While early formulations of plant-based proteins were often criticized for their gritty texture or earthy aftertaste, advances in food science and flavor technology have led to significant improvements. Label The Earth's protein powders are a prime example of how far these products have come. With flavors like vanilla bean, cacao, and berry fusion, the brand offers a smooth and enjoyable drinking experience.

The use of natural sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit ensures that the powders remain low in sugar while still delivering a pleasant taste. In contrast to many whey proteins that rely on artificial additives to mask undesirable flavors, Label The Earth keeps it simple and delicious. This makes their powders not only enjoyable to drink but also highly versatile for adding to a variety of recipes—from protein pancakes to energy bars.

The Health Benefits of Vegan Protein

Incorporating vegan protein powder into your diet offers a range of health benefits beyond just muscle building and recovery. The high fiber content of many plant-based proteins helps with digestion and promotes feelings of fullness, which can assist with weight management. Additionally, vegan protein powders are often lower in saturated fat and free from cholesterol, making them heart-healthy options for those looking to reduce their intake of animal products.

For individuals with food allergies or intolerances, vegan protein powder provides a hypoallergenic alternative to whey, which is derived from dairy. The absence of common allergens like lactose, gluten, and soy in many formulations ensures that those with dietary restrictions can still meet their protein goals without adverse reactions.

Why Choose Label The Earth?

Choosing a vegan protein powder is about more than just meeting your nutritional needs; it's a lifestyle choice that reflects a commitment to personal health and the health of the planet. With Label The Earth, you're not just buying a product—you're supporting a company that prioritizes sustainability, ethical sourcing, and transparency. Their products embody the principles of clean, green nutrition, providing consumers with an option that aligns with both their health goals and their values.

Moreover, the brand’s attention to detail—from ingredient selection to packaging—ensures that every purchase contributes to a larger movement toward more sustainable consumption. For those looking to make a positive impact with their purchasing power, Label The Earth offers an excellent starting point.

Conclusion: The Future of Vegan Protein

As more consumers become aware of the environmental and health benefits of plant-based eating, the demand for vegan protein powder will continue to grow. Brands like Label The Earth are leading the charge, offering innovative, high-quality products that cater to a wide range of dietary needs and preferences. By choosing a vegan protein powder, you’re not only fueling your body with clean, nutrient-dense ingredients but also supporting a more sustainable, ethical future.
