I think lab grown meat is a real potential solution to end factory farming and eventually all of the torture and mass killing of animals mankind does. I'm strongly in favor of it. Veganism is growing, but not quickly enough. And people are resistant to it. Lab grown meat is likely to be a solution to many issues we face because our agricultural system as it is is causing so many problems.

I think we will need to push for it. I think conservatives are going to be against it until it's normalized. I think we will need to regulate the hell out of it to make sure it's healthy.

And it is not healthy, probably. Obviously not as healthy as a whole foods plant based diet. However, it has the potential to be healthier than normal meat in many ways. If you've paid any attention to how meat is processed, it is incredibly underregulated as it is. And Trump worsened that. And likely will continue to. And while I enjoy the benefits of eating healthier on a vegan diet, I care far more about the suffering of animals.

It has potential but until it's significantly less resource intensive I don't see it going anywhere.
