"#1 laboratory meat will largely eliminate factory farming. [..] All us tree huggers should work to expedite."
Any suggestion about how to help here? For instance, is there any organization where we can send money for pushing for this outcome?
The environmental reasons alone should be enough to invest in this.
- specialist 8y agoI'm still looking. Please tell us if you find something. My 1/2 baked notion is to meet with family ranchers, start talking about active management, build alliances with some tree huggers, enlist the help of their (likely conservative) legislators (state and federal). Maybe start in Wyoming. The messaging would be terrific. Maybe enough to blunt the counter attacks from Big Ag. My other 1/2 baked notion is to enlist the Tim Ferriss types (health nuts, earliest adopters), pitch vat meat as a veganism meets paleo paradox buster, better than current protein sources (eg whey), create demand from the top-down.
- bungula 8y agoThe Good Food Institute is working on exactly that: https://www.gfi.org/donate https://www.gfi.org/donate They are a non-profit that are advocating and researching clean meat and plant-based alternatives. I recommend this 75 minute interview with it's director if you want to understand why is it such an important and effective cause: https://80000hours.org/podcast/episodes/bruce-friedrich-good-food-institute/ https://80000hours.org/podcast/episodes/bruce-friedrich-good...
