With more of us looking for alternatives to eating animals, new research has found a surprising environmentally friendly source of protein -- algae.

The University of Exeter study has been published in The Journal of Nutrition and is the first of its kind to demonstrate that the ingestion of two of the most commercially available algal species are rich in protein which supports muscle remodeling in young healthy adults.

Algae and kelp can be really damn yummy, too. Takes work, but I remember having my first non-meat burger back in my teenage years and loving the hell out of it. It was this blend of kelp and algae and it was so damn good. It didn't taste like meat, and it was miles better than any of the usual "veggie" burgers I've had since.
