Scaremongering, nothing more.
tl;dr: "Venture capitalists may prioritize money over your health."
To which I say, how is that not true of ANY capitalist, not just the venture ones?
We have food regulations for this very reason. No one needs to trust any food company, because we long ago discovered that trust was dangerous. So we have government regulators keeping an eye on things now.
Is it perfect? Fuck no. But the argument that Beyond Meat or Impossible Burger are somehow more dangerous because they're funded by VCs is disingenuous.
- zaptheimpaler 7y agoThis amounts to what-aboutism. Maybe the VCs are only just as bad as other capitalists but all the concerns about eating an unproven food still stand.
