I dislike plant based meat, cuz if I wanna have some vegeyables I just cook myself vegetables Edit: I dislike the taste
The only people who enjoy the taste of plant based meat never liked the taste of meat based meat to begin with.
Personally, I hope lab grown meat grows enough to make it a non issue.
The issue I have is the inflammation it causes in my damaged hips. Every time I have all that pea protein, I have a hard time existing the next day.
It won't. At least, it probably won't. Here's a good high level explanation as to why. I've worked on software used by some of these pharm industries and have some understanding of the scale of these types of operations. Everyone who talks about carbon footprints of animal farms will have to accept the carbon footprint of a synethic meat calorie is going to be a LOT higher due to dozens of factors. If you care about the environment, even 50 years from now it's probably cheaper to have cows AND spend margins to become carbon neutral than it would be to do lab meats.
If it's about saving animal lives, that's an ethical issue and where I'm learning to stop getting involved. I have enough knowledge in ethics to stand my own on that topic, and enough experience arguing ethics with vegans to know it's time to stop trying to discuss that with them.
