I know it's maybe not a very sophisticated position to take in the current year, but I will not eat the fake meat, I will not eat the bugs, I will not live in a pod, I will not own nothing.

I’m with you on everything but the cultured meat. If it’s real cells grown in an environment with no antibiotics or hormones that’s a huge win over growing an entire animal that stands in its own crap all day and is pumped full of growth chemicals and antibiotics so it doesn’t die. I’d love to buy my own self contained steak 3D printer for $10k

  You'd eat a 3D printed steak but not soy or wheat protein that you probably already eat multiple times a week?

    If the 3d printed steak tastes anywhere near as good as one taken from a well-treated animal, yes.

  I mean you can already get a single-use steak maker that comes with a very sophisticated self-regulation system and only costs a few hundred dollars plus feedstock - it's called a feeder calf

In my experience, the most outspoken pod-dwellers sneak out at night to get crappy McD with extra bacon. It’s a bit like these anti-gay preachers being caught having gay sex.

Why not if it tasted just like the original, had many more essential micronutrients, and had less carcinogens than original meat? I don't get excited about meat for the environmental impact, but rather for the health improvements.

I doubt the venture capitalists and financiers backing those companies want to eat this kind of gruel either. It's peasant food. They'll keep eating BBQ wagyu beef, don't worry. But if that's indeed the future they want for us, in the words of Tucker Carlson (PBUH), "I am totally happy to set your system on fire and blow it up".
