Why do we want livestock long term? It should be theoretically much more efficient to grow the meat in large vats in factories without the immorality of making intelligent mammals suffer. We already use this approach for insulin production via bacteria, I predict livestock will be phased out in a few decades in rich countries.

- SeriousM 6y agoLive stock is already a dying way for food production and everything a live stock animal can deliver is also possible with plants only.
- OneGuy123 6y agoYou are implying you can mimic all the required processes and not end up with too much or too little macro/micro nutrients. This is not possible due to nature's complexity. Until we will be able to use nanomachines to analyize individual proteins and cells we won't know how the body works on a global scale so you will end up with incorrectly guessing how much micro/macro nutrients the meat will have. Over time artifical meat will be a disaster as far as nutrients go, saying that you can "grow good meat that can compare to natural meat and has all the required nutrients as natural meat" is arrogant and shortsighted, but I don't expect anything more from modern scientists.
