  To be fair though, it is very broken. we get new virus strains every year due to mass poultry and pork farming. Mad cow was not super fun. Mass meat farms are a large driver in climate change. Not to mention the ethical issues in killing millions of animals a year if there is an alternative not too.

    The alternative not too also means millions of those animals just won't exist. There will be no reason to have most of the farm animals we have.

      sure, but they were going to be killed anyway. We just wont force / allow them to have kids and the problem will be resolved. Its a one time kill of animals that were going to be killed anyway. Cycle stops there.

        What cycle? You have a subjective opinion that it's better not to exist at all than to exist and be killed (which happens to everything on this planet). There are plenty of farm animals that live good lives. People need to drop this weird utopian idea that we can live in this world without death. I won't be touching lab grown meat until they can prove it has the same nutritional value as meat from an actual animal. I have my doubts since it won't be actual absorbing anything from the food it eats out of the ground like a real animal. I have absolutely zero problem with animal death if they're not treated inhumanely during their lives. Nature provides a far worse death for many of them than what they get being raised on a farm.
