Also I want to hear from you, is it ethical and why?

    Oh come on veggist, I eat you and you eat me, in a consensual lab grown way.

    And I am just kidding, not even sure I am on board with this, i think eating lab grown cow meat would be less upsetting.

      It’s just frustrating. Despite study after study showing that consumption of meat leads to poor health, people keep doing it. It just reminds me of being an addict. Other people saying this causes less harm to other sentient beings are right I’ll conceded to that but based off everything I know, the consumption of meat isn’t an act of self love. I may just be sensitive because my mother is dying of stomach disease. Beans and rice vegan steps off soap box

        Oh look cherry picked studies

        If you look hard enough you can find any study to support your claim with enough word crafting

          You need to learn what cherry picking is. These are studies funded by governments. Not meat packing corporations.

          But I’m sure I can post some PFAS studies you can deny too.

          We’re humans, we can do anything we put our minds to. I’m not a geneticist nor nutritionist so there’s no way I could tell you for certain. But the more I think of this question the more Jeff Goldblum’s line from Jurassic Park comes to mind.

            Haha but it’s yummy! This would be the easiest way to get rid of agricultural meat production for ethical and environmental reasons.

            Of course for many species of cows it will be an extinction event.

              Yeah and cocaine is fun to do too. Doesn’t mean it’s healthy.

              It wouldn’t end animal agriculture. It would just become the vinyl record collectors version of meat consumption.

              It saddens me that you believe the only reason for cows existence is because of humans.

              If I may suggest donating some time at your local animal sanctuary to meet a cow. Much like dogs or cats they each have very different personalities. They can be very cuddly if they get to know you. Like most herbivores they just want to have good vibes and enjoy their life.

                Sorry that was a bit hyperbole it would never be an all or nothing. You’d always have limited grass fed animal husbandry for milk and cheese. But my thought was that there should be some sort of rewilding effort for cows or Buffaloes or whatever their wild form even is or was in Europe.

                And I was thinking in the way of harm reduction which is a tactic for drug. You won’t convince a majority of people to not want meant so the demand will be there. So practically artificial meat is the only way.

                  As long as meat is sold for profit, animals well suffer.

                  Synthetic milk (chemically the same as cow’s milk but from yeast) well be in grocery store shelves in the next 5 years. Idk if synthetic cheese will be though. Probably need to test interest/spend time culturing it.

                  I’m familiar with “harm reduction” as a “vegan evangelist” of sorts it’s generally my goal with my time in this reality. There will be a time when it’s taboo to consume an animal. It’s just won’t be within our life times.

                  Idk if your vegan but it appears we mostly agree. Lovely chatting with you.
