RE: Libertarians: Why aren't you VEGAN?
So I am curious where most people fall on lab grown meat? This is going to become "normal" soon enough. I think its gross as hell and would never knowingly put something like that in my body, but does it alleviate the ethical concerns of killing animals for food? Interesting to think about at the very least.
Thanks for your comment! I've never had "vat meat" but I hear it's coming along in taste, texture, etc. Thing is, I don't miss sinking my teeth into animal muscles (or fat, organs, skin, etc). I miss the convenience, so maybe a "beyond burger" is in my future (although I can't have the wheat in the bun). But actual realistic flesh, I don't see the point. I understand that some people will want it, perhaps during a transition period, but I don't know if we'll need to create meat in labs forever. I'd love to see the world move over to a plant (and fungi) based diet! Along with bacterial helpers, that's everything we could ever need, and it can be formed into just about any texture/colour/flavour desired.
I'm with you there. I used to eat meat literally every day. I honestly think I was addicted to it. It has been a long time since I have eaten meat and have no desire to go back to eating it.
