In-vitro meat is looking like a more viable option by the day. And it has the obvious moral ground.

- bitL 10y agoIn vitro meat would be great. Yet you still need to introduce a small number of pathogens to improve your fitness (your body needs to fight small battles all the time to keep in the top shape). Sanitized stuff brings you allergy and other fun, like inability to adapt to changing environment.

- Ygg2 10y agoForget moral high ground. It's energy efficient. You don't have to feed whole animal and then cut away stuff you don't like or can't eat. Just grow the thing you need. Plus you only need a couple of animals for breeding/cell harvest.
