This is why I never understood the furor over "pink slime". It tastes the same as regular ground beef and it's an efficient use of additional parts of the animal.
Yeah but it looks gross and makes it much harder to pretend my chicken nuggets come from some kind of idyllic fantasy Old MacDonald farm.

Also a machine did it so it must be bad and sinful and wrong.

People would interpret that as eating the entire animal at once, probably deep-fried, and think that it would let them safely lose weight if it is the only thing they eat.
If you have some kind of problem with the idea of deep frying a whole pig then you're not a true American.

And with best way i mean best way to combat climate change.
Pick any protein and use a clean power source like nuclear for the energy input.

Eventually the energy required to produce enough food for all of us is going to be more than can be expended.
We already produce more than enough food for the entire population of Earth and there's enough nuclear material lying around to keep that expenditure going until the sun goes out.

Energy really isn't the problem.

Yes in la la land where anybody anywhere wants nuclear power infrastructure constructed.
We could probably burn coal until the ice caps melt and drown us all. Nobody is running out of poo poo to turn into electricity any time soon.

Low-intensity "primitive" farming techniques (which often make highly sophisticated use of the land and local plant and animal life) are better for the local environment, produce fewer GHG emissions, and don't give a huge cut of the profits to developed countries.
This isn't at all true.

NGS is getting cheaper every day. We just need a massive sequencing project for the Amazon. Then we can burn it to the ground.
Burn it and sequence the smoke. Much quicker than finding all those tiny frogs and poo poo.
