“I need my chicken to come in drumstick form or I can’t eat it” fuck you either own the murder or change your diet coward
Humans are capable of frightening detachment. Ask any omnivores that has never stepped into a packaging plant.
At some level, it is necessary. If I had to consider all the ramifications of each of my actions, how could I ever bring myself to poop?
I hope lab grown meat brings that about.
Me too. Honestly, given the state of the agricultural industry (particularly with increased rate of disease and the impact of heat waves on herd stability), I could see large livestock herds as economically non-viable in my lifetime. I guess we solve the problem of animal cruelty by everything just kinda… dying out. Then lab grown meat becomes a delicacy and we just get to live in Demolition Man’s future.
Oh definitely necessary. Otherwise we’d all die of trama.
Unfortunately it has to happen that way because so many don’t want to confront the cruelity their diet causes. But I don’t think it’s all doom and gloom from that point I think we can learn to reappreciate our animal friends. Maybe even uplift them to our understanding.

Individually, their diets don’t affect the volume of cruelty. This is a moralistic decision, not a consequential one. The volume of waste demonstrates as much. When we’re simply trashing 40% of our agricultural product, whether or not you eat the meat has no effect on if the cow is raised and slaughtered. All it affects is whether the meat goes in your mouth or in the trash.
Which isn’t an argument for or against veganism. But its trivial to reconcile the decision one way or another, knowing your consumer choices have no impact on whether these animals live or die.
