Where does your meat come from? Maybe a cow, pig or chicken. Did you know that we can make \"meat\" out of plants as well?
Plant-based meat is not real meat, but looks and tastes like the real thing. It's made out of plants like potatoes and peas. It's getting more popular around the world these days. In the US, plant-based meat company Beyond Meat will sell its products (产品) in 5,000 more stores by the end of September. In June, KFC started to sell plant-based burgers and chicken nuggets in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Beijing. At the same time, Pizza Hut in China has also added plant-based meat to its menu.
Scientists say this food is better for the environment. Producing meat makes too many greenhouse gases (温室气体). If everyone in the world stopped eating meat, it would reduce greenhouse gas emissions (排放) by two-thirds, according to Plant Proteins.
Eating plant-based food is also healthier. Many people get heart disease(心脏命) because they eat too much meat. Would you like to try plant-based meat? ( )41. People can make plant-based meat out of _______.
