I think your underestimating the scale of animal agriculture.
- _chu1 3y agoExpected Chinese hellscape. If eating animals is so bad for the environment shouldn't the Earth be a dry gray smoggy ball at this point?
- monetus 3y agoA lake of shit overflowing and poisoning the water table won't make the skies foggy. Granted, I am talking about rural things, that 26 story building probably has its own unique issues.

- RC_ITR 3y ago>If eating animals is so bad for the environment shouldn't the Earth be a dry gray smoggy ball at this point? No. Things happen sequentially and compound. It's like saying in 2005, "if Amazon is such an important company, why isn't it already worth $1tn."
- rootusrootus 3y agoAlong the same lines, people here are underestimating the scale of lab grown meat production. IIRC it'd have to be something like 40,000 factories costing close to $2T to build, and even then it would take decades to build them all. And the meat would be very expensive.
