Meat is not scalable. If 8+ billion people want to live on this planet, they will not all be eating steak every night. Sorry if that offends you. If people find an alternative that looks, tastes, and acts like meat but is as or more nutritional and much less ecologically damaging to produce, then great, problem solved.
Secondly, the only reason "the common man" can afford meat in the quantities he can now is because of massive amounts of subsidies and incredibly damaging practices.
So frame your overly-emotional argument however you want, but there are realities you aren't addressing and they don't go away because of your feelings.
- matheusmoreira 3y agoHere's a reality you aren't addressing: people don't really want to eat insects. Here's another: about 2 years ago a president was elected in my country partly by promising that the poor would get to eat meat regularly once again. Make people miserable at your own peril. The simple fact is nobody really wants to be reduced to eating worms and bugs. No one really gives a shit about how "scalable" it is either. Whoever finds a way to provide what people want will have enormous power. > If people find an alternative that looks, tastes, and acts like meat Pretty big if you got there. The "alternatives" so far don't really fulfill any of those criteria. They also have the added bonus of offending a person's basic dignity with the knowledge that they're eating insects. There are literal animals out there who receive better treatment.
