Personally, I look forward to lab grown meat being the norm. I'm vegetarian, but it still will be beneficial overall.
So many problems are caused by people eating way too much meat. Vat grown will reduce at least quite a few of those problems, if it can be done at scale.
It’s not really so much about the meat production, it’s the fact that we prioritize feed crops for livestock as well as ethanol. That all leads to higher fertilizer usage and run off as well as well as clearing forests for crops. The crop just changes depending where you are. Eating less meat won’t change all that much. The bigger solution is sustainable growing over mono-cropping and oil based fertilizer and pesticides.
I don't know; reducing the carbon footprint counts for a lot in my book. The SAD diet is responsible for quite a bit. Seems like fairly low-hanging fruit to cut things in half just with a sensible dietary change, especially give it is better for you as well.
Why is it that the governments get to dictate what the fuck I eat and how much of it?
Why is it that government mandated recycling programs have done fuck all to change the massive amount of plastic pollution?
The entire carbon credits financial system is a total scam. Every company can buy and sell carbon credits between each other, yet regular consumers just get a hard limit.
A better solution would be keeping accountable the producers of carbon and pollution and plastic and making them pay for it, not letting them buy and sell carbon pollution credits return in exchange for tax credits. But that’s never gonna happen because the politicians and lobbying firms are all paid by giant corporations, To continuing conflict of interest no matter what part of the world you’re in.
