Legislators there and in several other states want to restrict the manufacture or sale of meat made in a laboratory, even though it barely exists. The space industry disagrees.
Supporters include environmentalists who say it would reduce animal cruelty and potentially help slow climate change. Meat and dairy together account for about 14.5 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, according to the United Nations.
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
They can't even make meat taste good in a lot of school cafeterias. What makes you think the plant-based foods will be delicious instead of glop out of a can from the lowest bidder on the food contract?
Most of Iranian food consists of rice and vegetables in stew with meat lmao but I still definitely wouldn't give up meat. I don't consume an awful lot already it's not too much to ask for some fucking meat
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.
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.
There’s a subset of vegans (probably any group really) who has made it a part of their identity.
This is ok to an extent but I think some of them have internalized “we don’t eat meat” while forgetting WHY they made that decision in the first place.
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
