"Healthier Comforts has rolled out an animal-free egg white protein powder in the US, which features The Every Company’s precision-fermented OvoPro ingredient, the company has confirmed to Green Queen."

Precision fermentation is a biotechnology that uses genetically engineered microorganisms (yeast, fungi, or bacteria) as cell factories to produce specific, high value functional ingredients like proteins, fats, and enzymes. It creates identical, sustainable alternatives to animal derived products with 96% less land and 87% less water.

I'm glad to see this tech taking off as it could have huge impacts on the environment while reducing costs for food and no killing and suffering of animals for things like eggs or milk.

    I was wondering that myself.

    Maybe it's not digital tech so people don't care? Maybe they think it's an add.

    I was just surprised/ happy it is a commercial reality.

    Seriously? I just did then came to read comments, and now I'm upvoting it cause of the discussion right here

    Its probably getting downvotes, because there's is NO fucking way it can be 'animal free' and 'egg white protein' by any stretch of the imagination and so it seems genuinely intentionally insulting to the general intellect.

    If its a legit ad its no good, if its dishonest advertisement its no better, if shitpost, then its got fuck em vegan vibes which isn't generally well regarded with an abundance of upvotes here

    With the context of the process its totally pure, just a wholesome GD post with a self marketing vibe/look

    Without the context, its absolutely worthless, utter garbage, worth even less then no post at all, the downvotes rain down upon it, may they smite their foe.

    Its ideopolitical anger incarnate.

    Its a perfect storm post.

    And its right tf there only to be witnessed and understood for a short period of time

    Its a GOOD FUCKING day to be alive today. I live for this shit right here so thank you 😎😂😉
