I’m much more concerned by “(excluding domestic violence)”
The original picture is obviously super cool, but of course the hand is just a hand. The caption says none of them are leaves, not all are insects.
Yeah, no idea why I felt the need to correct this
True, but then health impacts of normal meat (over-) consumption are a concern too. No idea if perhaps the unnaturally uniform lab meat has less diverse macro and micro nutrients, but then again, nobody knows (I suspect, prove me wrong otherwise). But yea, over all this wasn’t my biggest concern anyways so it hardly changes my outlook either way
Well, the last time I checked in they were still relying on fetal bovine serum and cancer cell growth to make lab meat production work (look it up yourself tho). I mean on paper it seems like good option if animal suffering is your concern, but (long term) health impacts of cancer meat are still a mild concern ig. And also it’s exorbitantly expensive (citation needed) if you can even buy it and still requires loads of resources to produce. I’d much prefer a cheap alternative, not imitation, for cheap meat. It may be hard to replace a grilled stake (in flavor, texture and most of all people’s preference) but looking at cheap pink slices of processed goo I half way expect them to already be vegan, but like in a really bad way. I feel like meat alternatives should start where it’s easy and tackle ‘authentic’ meat a later time. In the meantime I’m way more concerned with ending special meat subsidies in favor of supporting resource efficient vegan alternatives. Make vegan food cheap and people will follow, no need for perfection. For the record I’m not (quite) a vegan and price and convince are like the only things holding me back so far.
A cursory glance at your comment history suggests you’re perhaps in the wrong community. Not to gatekeep, come here with curiosity, humor and in good faith and you shall be received likewise! Otherwise tho, your attitude might just end up spreading negativity in others and yourself. If that’s not something you want, then start by avoiding hurtful slurs. If you wanna use this opportunity to learn something new and to avoid seeming rude by misunderstanding then you’re welcome to ask, answer, anything!
