Meat. Vegan substitutes. LocalFish.
An honest comparison of modern foods.
Our diet is changing.
More and more people want to eat more consciously – healthier, more sustainably, and more naturally. At the same time, food should remain simple, tasty, and suitable for everyday life.
This leads to an increasing number of processed products:
- classic meat products,
- industrial vegan and vegetarian substitutes
- and new sustainable alternatives like LocalFish.
But which solution truly makes sense?
An honest comparison shows that each category has its strengths. But also clear differences.
Why these numbers are important
FCR – the underestimated sustainability factor
The so-called Feed Conversion Ratio shows:
How much feed is needed to produce 1 kg of food.
LocalFish:
FCR of 1.2
This means:
Only 1.2 kg of feed produces 1 kg of fish.
In comparison, beef requires many times that amount.
This means:
- less resource consumption
- less feed production
- less agricultural burden
- higher efficiency
Regionality and supply chains
Many foods today travel thousands of kilometers:
- Soy from South America
- Fish from Asia
- Ingredients from different continents
- Processing in several countries
Especially for vegan substitute products, raw materials often come from global supply chains.
LocalFish takes a different approach:
100% Switzerland
From egg to finished, refined product.
This means:
- Swiss fish farming
- Swiss processing
- Swiss refinement
- short transport routes
- maximum transparency
- maximum freshness
Regionality reduces:
- transport emissions
- cold chains
- dependencies
- unnecessary intermediaries
And at the same time strengthens:
- local production
- Swiss jobs
- regional value creation
Processing and Naturalness
More and more consumers today pay attention to:
- short ingredient lists
- natural ingredients
- few additives
Meat Products
Many processed meat products contain:
- preservatives
- nitrite curing salt
- additives
- flavor enhancers
Vegan Substitutes
Vegan alternatives are often technologically highly developed.
They frequently contain:
- protein isolates
- starch extracts
- refined vegetable oils
- emulsifiers
- stabilizers
- artificial flavors
The goal:
To imitate meat as precisely as possible.
But many consumers today ask themselves:
Does sustainable nutrition really have to feel artificial?
LocalFish
LocalFish focuses on:
- real fish
- natural recipes
- high-quality ingredients
- authentic taste
Not maximum imitation – but a real food.
Health
What processed food does to our bodies
Sustainability is important.
But in the end, many people ask another crucial question:
What is actually the better choice for my body?
Because modern foods today should not only:
- taste good,
- be practical
- and be produced sustainably,
but also:
- provide the body with essential nutrients,
- be natural
- and be beneficial in the long term.
Protein is not just protein
All three categories provide protein. But the quality and composition differ greatly.
Meat products
Beef provides:
- high-quality protein
- iron
- vitamin B12
But particularly highly processed products often additionally contain:
- high amounts of saturated fatty acids
- a lot of salt
- additives
- preservatives
Many people also find such products to be:
- heavy,
- fatty
- or less digestible.
Vegan Substitutes
Vegan products often score with:
- less saturated fatty acids
- plant-based ingredients
- no cholesterol
However, many modern substitute products are highly processed.
They often contain:
- protein isolates
- refined vegetable oils
- thickeners
- emulsifiers
- artificial flavors
The problem:
The body recognizes the nutrients – but the product often has little in common with a natural food.
LocalFish: Natural protein instead of artificial compromises
LocalFish deliberately pursues a different approach:
Not maximum imitation. But real food of high quality.
For decades, fish has been considered one of the highest quality protein sources available.
Why?
Because fish:
- provides high-quality protein,
- is easily digestible,
- contains valuable fatty acids
- and efficiently nourishes the body.
Omega-3 fatty acids – a crucial difference
A major health benefit of fish lies in its natural omega-3 fatty acids.
These can be important for:
- heart and circulation
- brain function
- concentration
- general well-being
- a balanced diet
Many people today consume too little of it.
Fish is one of the most natural sources available.
Less artificial. Less ultra-processed.
More and more people want to move away from ultra-processed foods.
The trend is clearly towards:
real, honest food.
And that's exactly where LocalFish comes in:
- natural ingredients
- traceable origin
- authentic raw materials
- modern, yet honest artisanal processing
The future is not in extremes
The discussion is often conducted in extremes:
- meat or vegan
- tradition or future
- enjoyment or sustainability
But reality is more complex.
Many people today are looking for:
- fewer extremes,
- fewer artificial products,
- less resource consumption,
- but still genuine enjoyment.
THE BETTER CHOICE
LocalFish combines:
- minimal resource usage
- high efficiency
- natural ingredients
- high-quality proteins
- short supply chains
- 100% Swiss production
Not as a substitute.
But as a further development of modern food.
Less consumption.
More naturalness.
More transparency.
100% Switzerland.
LocalFish
For people who want to enjoy honestly.
