No, they're not.

Current 'plant-based' alternatives, designed as substitutes for animal-source foods, often fall short of replicating both the sensory experience and nutritional content of their counterparts. As a result, public acceptance of these products remains low. These imitation products typically rely on protein isolates, refined oils, and starches, which are unpalatable. Heavy processing and a range of additives are necessary to approximate the desired sensory qualities, yet their nutrient profile remains limited in some priority micronutrients. Simply replacing animal-source foods with these plant-based alternatives may lead to deficiencies in important minerals and vitamins. Furthermore, consuming these alternatives does not necessarily yield cardiometabolic health benefits and may even adversely affect glycemic control due to their higher carbohydrate content and lower protein levels. From an environmental perspective, the footprint of these products may not be significantly lower than that of animal source foods, particularly when their nutritional value is factored into the calculations. Scaling up production of these alternatives could also pose challenges within agroecological food systems. Although marketing often emphasizes health, environmental benefits, and animal welfare, these claims generally amount to false solutions.

The Dublin Declaration of Scientists on the Societal Role of Livestock
Livestock systems must progress on the basis of the highest scientific standards. They are too precious to society to become the victim of simplification, reductionism or zealotry.

@willieo2018 @Srrt105 @PeterMc63016829 @plalor What straws are you clutching at?? Who said anything about the rights and wrongs of walking?

[Russell Trainor @TrainorRussell]

@willieo2018 @Srrt105 @PeterMc63016829 @plalor Ah, so you don't like it because an English guy is out .. roger. So the spirit of cricket lets us play outside the rules and complain when we get out .. or like Duckett, we play to the rules and let the umpire adjudicate ... flip flopping again

@willieo2018 @Srrt105 @PeterMc63016829 @plalor I was asked about Mankad .. seems however Bairstow was mistaken about it being the end of the over .. so basically Johnny stuffed up and the Australian's are the bad guys .. Why aren't we discussing Johnny's lack of awareness?

[Russell Trainor @TrainorRussell]

@willieo2018 @PeterMc63016829 @plalor Completely agree ... so we play by the rules not by some arbitrary subjective "spirit of cricket" ... Now go back to the start and tell me what is wrong with what Alex Carey did..

@Srrt105 @willieo2018 @PeterMc63016829 @plalor If a batsman is getting an unfair advantage/cheating by leaving their ground early why not? If we invoke spirit of cricket here, who is at fault? The batsman or the bowler. I know what the rules say.

@lester_der @saywattharry @WisdenCricket No doubt he said crease as well.

@smaw1978 @KrustyAIG @bbctms … and he is finding out the old truth of the moral high ground … populated almost exclusively by hypocrites. Strikes me that there is a large nasty taste of sour grapes coming from McCullum.

@kndall112 @Collingwoodmag @TheBarmyArmy Remember when England used zippers, mints and sand?
