Sounds way too dystopian to be trustworthy, and there's no explanation why I would even WANT to eat this.

- kordlessagain 4y agoIt's made out of air my good person.
- MrYellowP 4y agoHow? :)
- bradleysz 4y agoIf it's a more sustainable, cruelty-free source of protein than is currently available, and if it's safe, why not? There are multiple big "if" statements there, but should they all pass, I'd be all for it.
- OrvalWintermute 4y agoBy using the term cruelty-free, are you describing dense, commercial feedlot animal production only, or are you including all types of animal husbandry and meat acquisition, including hunting?
- hombre_fatal 4y agoDoesn’t really matter since it doesn’t involve slaughter at all.
- PretzelPirate 4y ago> all types of animal husbandry and meat acquisition, including hunting? Clearly it’s cruel to kill an animal even through hunting. The animal doesn’t want to be shot/stabbed/etc…
- drjasonharrison 4y agoOr transported on noisy truck without food, water, or air heating/cooling, for many hours or days.
- nradov 4y agoAnd yet animals (even herbivores) kill other animals all the time. This concern over the cruelty of killing livestock for food is such a weird human conceit.
- hombre_fatal 4y agoWell, humans have the choice. Likewise, pointing out that rape is common in the animal kingdom isn't very convincing license for humans to rape.
- bradleysz 4y agoThere's a definite spectrum of cruelty, with factory farming near one extreme and many forms of hunting near the other. How much cruelty one can stomach (literally, in this case) is up to the individual, of course.
- otikik 4y agoTry to think how dystopian the meat industry feels to a vegetarian or vegan person. That's the explanation.
- MrYellowP 4y agoWe can't talk about this when you don't know what "dystopian" means.
- elil17 4y agoReduced land use vs. traditional agriculture. Imagine going to space and living off a vat of microbes grown using electrical energy!
- washbrain 4y agoIn what way does this sound dystopian? Ideally this is a protein source without the nasty externalities of intensive agriculture and it can exist in places and spaces that aren't typically conducive to food production. Ideally, yes, plant based diets would dominate, but the idea of turning renewable energy into supplemental foodstuff sounds like a huge win to me.
- MrYellowP 4y agoI rather only eat things which actually grow, and don't need to be produced, instead of blindly accepting being told that something's good for me, just because there's a lot of money behind it.
- washbrain 4y agoI guarantee you that you are eating things that are being produced. Unless you are getting all your calories and spices from small family farms. Industrial agriculture is mining, not growing things.
