If you can concede that; feeding an animal food from the earth and then eating the animal is a step backward, then check out what you get taking a step forward!
Take what the animals eat: GRAIN..wheat, corn, soybeans. Let's say wheat, make some bread dough with no yeast then wash all the starch from it with a colander you will have the protein nucleus of the wheat or the meat of it. Commercial producers do this and dehydrate and grind it to flour called vital wheat gluten. You take this flour, no starch only all proteins, and season it with dry and liquid ingredients. Put it in the oven and bake for and hour and a half and you have a lunch meat loaf ready to munch. I've made about half a dozen loaves and I even got a meat slicer to get them ready for the fridge. The taste is really remarkable...Only thing is premade products are kind of pricey cause of availability, but a 3lb. can of the flour is only around $10.00 and you can make a lot of stuff from it. I know it's a vegan and vegetarian thing fersur, but it's also a practical product of the earth that can be healthier and cheaper and taste good too.
