    I mean, I hope Iā€™m wrong, but my point is that without more information, I would have to see some actual data to compare this stuff. I am however aware that we wonā€™t get reliable data until large-scale production is both possible, and profitable.

    Itā€™s the same scepticism I have when a new building material says itā€™s much better for the environment, but then it turns out itā€™s either not possible to upscale to the point that itā€™s actually environmentally friendly, because it uses a very limited by-product from a different production. Or it turns out they donā€™t count the materials needed for the underlying construction to make it possible to use, because itā€™s not directly part of the material.

    I just want some proper articles about this stuff, with actual numbers and calculations made public, instead of a picture shared on some social media.

      Itā€™s a commercial venture, so a lot of it is kept behind some level of secrecy because this is capitalism baybeeeee. That said, if you are actually interested in the numbers, you can probably look up organizations like The Good Food Institute who are giving millions in grants to scientific methods for alternative protein sources and they have a public outreach where you can read up on their science and scientists, but if you want technical specsā€¦ well, see every other technology like AI, microprocessors, the formulas for popular snacks and and sodas.
