As long as so many people still consider it a personal affront to even hear the slightest suggestion that one of the easiest things they can do to contribute to a better world is simply eat less meat, I don't have a whole lot of hope.
- alacombe 7y agoReally subjective as well. It's just as easy to argue that calories dense meat/fat is more efficient that calories starved greens or fattening processed carbs.
- CamperBob2 7y agoThis problem will fix itself soon enough when synthmeat reaches its tipping point. At some point on the price/quality curve, social signal theory will kick in, and it will become unacceptable to kill actual animals for meat. We'll save a lot of water when that happens, which isn't a bad thing regardless of your position on animal rights. Civilization isn't a zero-sum game. Everyone, without exception, who has ever claimed otherwise, has been wrong. In order for someone living in the middle of Africa or India to live better, you and I don't have to live worse.
