- happyopossum 4y agoThat’s like saying there are a lot of alternatives to pizza. Sure, I could eat a meatball sub, but it’s not a pizza.
- tintedfireglass 4y agoexactly, you can get the same nutrients from other food too. why do you need the exact texture and feel of meat if you don't want to eat meat.
- headsoup 4y agoWhy do you need any of that other food either then, just have your soylent green.
- aetherson 4y agoI think there are lots of people who want to eat meat, but feel that it's cruel to animals or bad for the planet to eat it.
- AndrewDucker 4y agoI mostly don't eat based on nutrients, but on the flavour and textures I enjoy. Which includes meat.
- Eleison23 4y agoCultured meat is meat, it's just not taken from slaughtered animals. So there's a world of difference between processing vegetable matter and faking it into meat-like substances, vs. culturing meat "humanely" with technology to avoid the perils of factory farming. All things being equal, the promise is that cultured meat will be equivalent in taste, texture, nutrition, etc. to animal meat.
- headsoup 4y agoWith the patents and centralised control some people dream of. I think this is something to be very cautious of.
- tomca32 4y agoWhat if I like meat but don’t want to be responsible for animal suffering?
- colordrops 4y agoDepends on how important animal suffering is vs eating pleasure to you, but you could considered curbing your cravings and just not eating it.
- teg4n_ 4y agoI’m sure they hadn’t considered that.
- colordrops 4y agoMost people don't. They ignore the issue maintain cognitive dissonance, because the choice is too difficult for them. I don't think it was completely unintended that burying your head in the sand and going back to ignorant bliss is represented by eating a steak in The Matrix.
- tomca32 4y agoI mean if I can still get that pleasure and not contribute to animal suffering why not do that?
- colordrops 4y agoThat's not yet a choice.
- aliqot 4y agoeat animals after they die of natural causes
- TheDong 4y agoIs that different from becoming vegetarian in any meaningful way? There is 0 availability of such meat, especially not at anything approaching a commercial scale.
