Right, but even your hypothetical tribe member is going to be many orders of magnitude more efficient than a billion dollar factory trying to grow a postage-stamp-sized piece of fake meat.
- esafak 3y agoAre you counting the resources it takes to raise the animal?
- Gordonjcp 3y agoYes, because they are literally just lying around on the ground.
- esafak 3y agoThe ground they stand on has an opportunity cost. The feed, vet, and butcher all cost money. And it takes years to raise one. So all told, there is a cost, which is why the supermarket does not give away meat for free.
- Gordonjcp 3y agoWhat else are you going to use the ground for? Supermarkets effectively give the meat away for free because quite often farmers are locked into contracts that end up paying less than cost. Don't buy any of your food from supermarkets.
