which environmentalists support lab meat? Just eat plants ffs
I’m vegan for a few years now and will try this at my first opportunity.
The general public doesn’t give a flying fuck about animal suffering but maybe the same product without the suffering would be good enough to cause a switch.
Edit: Just wanted to add that I didn't go vegan because I dislike the taste of meat. The possibility of continuing to eat meat without the associated suffering is highly attractive to me. Whether I want to eat this regularly will depend on more factors, though, namely, how its environmental impact compares to simply eating plants.
Especially if it makes it cheaper and taste the same and gets the same nutrients and shit. I'll do it. But until then, I'm a meat eating, steak lover and that won't change
I was shamed by vegans a while back for advocating for lab-grown meat. I love the taste of meat, but I don't like animal suffering. I can't wait for this to be perfected.
From lab to slab, baby!
I do. Not for myself, but we all know that there are many people who would never give up meat. So for them.
No way. Its a generational issue. Make schools meat free and apply a 200% tax on things that are causing the climate catastrophe (at least including carbon & meat), and in 2 generations you'll see most people gave up meat.
There's nothing to miss, people just need to experience it for some years. When people realize the bean burger is just as good and 20x cheaper than the cow burger, they'll order it every time
Sounds solid. Now come up with a way to implement this without causing riots.
Black bean burgers are fucking delicious
