As an avid carnivore I'm excited about lab grown meat. I think anyone against it just doesn't realize what it is. It's literally meat. It's just not attached to an animal. That's all it is.
The best part is because it's not attached to an animal that needs animal things, it's basically free limitless meat. What meat lover wouldn't want that? Come on now.
I'm not too fond of all the lab grown microplastics though.
Hell, current plant-based alternatives would be doing great too if they weren't inexplicably more expensive. Impossible Meat has a lower environmental impact and requires fewer resources to make than beef? Great! Why does it cost more then? I'm not even vegetarian but I'd happily switch to fake burgers if they weren't double the price.
I have seen vegans come out against lab grown meat...for...reasons? I get why they're vegans because of "traditional" meat, but lab grown meat doesn't have the problems of "traditional" meat LMAO
I'm vegan and I'll be eating it when it's available provided the only animal product to get started is a cell sample.
But if it requires continuous animal inputs to sustain then it's simply not vegan. You could argue that even acquiring a cell sample to get started also isn't but needing continuous animal inputs certainly isn't.
I'm a flexitarian with meat cravings every so often and I'm exited for Lab-meat too. I'm totally with you know this.
And come on, how many of these people screaming about lab meat actually know where their meat comes from. Most of it comes out of meat processing plants and the thought of these makes me really squeezy. Every now and then there are investigative pieces about them and they are all disgusting and really concerning. I'd take lab-grown any day.
Also, the meat flavors can be refined and adjusted for better results. The proteins and fat can be precisely calculated to make objectively the best steak available to mankind, ever. People against lab grown meat have no idea when they order a steak they are being fed propaganda.
The right wing panic* over how the left wants to destroy hamburgers and make everyone eat bugs is hilarious. You already eat bugs and you love it, you just call them shrimp and lobster!
If you want to say that doesn’t count, you STILL probably eat bugs in any processed food that’s red and doesn’t have artificial dye in it. They’re listed as cochineal/carmine/crimson lake/natural red 4/E120 <- these are all the same bug!
* not saying that’s what you’re doing OP, that’s just the most common context I see it
As long as food is processed correctly either through farm animals or a lab I really don't care what it is. Actual health should be the only priority above any profits or ambiguity.
Exactly my thoughts. I'm so entirely down for lab grown meat. If they can get the texture and taste perfected, and make manufacturing fast and effcient, it'd be a much better alternative to raising cows and chickens. No animal suffering, no devoting huge percentage of our arable land to growing food for live stock. It's just an all around win, but some people are so against it, hell Florida made it illegal there!
Pshh they know they can't. Pyramids are just a conspiracy from big government.
Only triangles exist and they know it. Have you ever seen all "4 sides"? Huh? What about the 5th side? Does that even exist? And wouldn't that make it a square?
Remember, I am not obtuse, don't isosce-late me from the truth! We are right!
I'd like to see the triangle grow two additional sides, becoming a 3-sided pyramid. Then, a fourth pops up, turning into a typical 4 sided one. But then, a fifth appears, then a sixth, then more and more untill it becomes a food cone
Then it flips over and gets filled with ice cream. There, the perfect food pyramid!
Joke's on you, antidepressants have been at the top of my pyramid for like 10 years. I figured out that the future actually sucks way before i realized that it was largely the fault of late-stage capitalism. The rest is just people being people.
