Similarly, growing plant-based proteins, such as protein from peas, wheat and soy, is far more efficient than raising and killing animals for food. In fact, a recent study from the University of Michigan––funded by Beyond Meat, a leading plant-protein company –– found that their plant-based burgers generated 90% less greenhouse gas than beef burgers. Despite the obvious benefits of plant-based protein, Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) has been pushing the DAIRY PRIDE Act, which would ban plant-based milk producers from using the word “milk.” The FDA wants to do the same. This summer, Missouri lawmakers voted to ban plant-based meat companies from using the word “meat.”
