A decent chunk of the meat used for pet food comes from pieces humans won’t eat (obvs. different by region and culture), so would go to waste anyway. Lab grown meat is cool, but I’m worried we won’t get accurate reporting on environmental impact. “This is how much meat we produced” implying benefit vs. “This is how many fewer cows/chickens/etc. were bred and slaughtered for pet food” which can be used to calculate methane and ammonia reductions, etc.
