I don’t think this will be an issue in 25 years. Artificial meats like impossible meat, and lab grown meats are going to become better tasting than the real thing within our lifetimes. People will change from eating animals to plants/lab grown meat because it tastes better.
- Cthulhu_ 6y agoI really dislike this focus on 'artificial' meats, instead of diversifying diets. For some reason there's still a trope that vegetarian meal options are depressing salads. Try something that isn't a hamburger. I can recommend curries, they have more flavor than any burger you've had. (also re: flavor, most flavor in meat comes from seasoning anyway, it's the textures and fat content that the meat replacements can't get quite right yet)
- 0xB31B1B 6y agoMy main point is, before the invention of the steam engine, land transit speeds were basically governed by laws of animal husbandry. After the steam engine, we went from slow rail roads to rocket ships in 100 years. Right now, the quality of the meats/proteins we consume is governed by the laws of animal husbandry. We have already developed the first lab grown meats for human consumption (first steam engine), and things are going to accelerate rather quickly from here until artificial meats are clearly superior in taste and quality as they are not governed by animal husbandry but rather human ingenuity and biochemistry.
