We don't need meat. We don't need dairy. [0]
We eat it only for the pleasure, for our taste buds experience, and because it's convenient and we don't want to learn to cook differently.
We choose to ignore environmental and moral impacts of doing so, because we believe the stories we've been told (culture), because we don't want to face our cognitive dissonance [1] and/or because we simply choose to be lazy and ignorant.
High-tech food is a thing for such people.
It's not for the vegans of today, who are perfectly happy eating beans and veggies. It's for people eating meat and dairy, who think that they can't live without it (and how mistaken they are).
Insisting that "the only real thing" is the one with all the chemicals, land degradation, endotoxins, stresses and suffering ... that's really hard to fathom.
Why not take the "real" cells and let them propagate in the aseptic tank, same as we grow our beer, for example? [2] I for one don't believe we have time for such a solution, that it can come in time to stop us destroying the environment completely, but what's so unnatural about it?
If you're against it, or against veganism, you're like the caveman, insisting that the only real substinence is the mammoth meat, everything else is subpar and that you'll eat only mammoth, no matter how few of them remain, your progeny be damned.
Nobody shall take away your freedom (to destroy all life on earth), you want to eat mammoth!
