#13As meat eater I'm not wholly against it. If the texture and taste is palatable why not.

#14Better than crickets, but I'll stick to beef thanks.
It may be practical to feed that beef algae instead of corn.

#15I cannot understand how it is possible that the phrases like "food security" instead of "hunger" became used widespread organically seemingly out of nowhere. Genuine question, can someone explain that to me without resorting to some sort of conspiracy theories?

#16I've considered eating algae as an alternative source of DHA with less risk of microplastic contamination, but I've had a hard time finding definitive evidence of what types of algae contain significant levels of DHA.

you know, some people were really squeamish about eating aquatic roaches, and they were reserved for penal colonies...but over time the public at large started to love them, they also gave them better names, like "crabs" and "lobsters".

They encompass different things: hunger is a physical state, while food security is an economic, logistical, and environmental property.
You don’t really need a conspiracy to prefer more precise terms.

#19While real sea-grown algae might be light what will happen is the same as with modern animal and plant farming: animals are fed corn which makes their meat sub-par nutrientwise and most of the soil for plants is depleted. So if we now grow algae in "reactors" their nutrient profile will be artificial and out of line of their natural counterparts, thus making them no better than any other modern highly processed food,…
What do you mean sub-par nutrientwise? In terms of average health outcomes, does grassfed beef show a significant benefit compared to feedlot finished beef?
