"I eat real meat!"
Cultivated meat IS real meat from meat cells, it is not a meat imitation based on soy, wheat or whatever. Potentially much safer. Think of dead zombie disease or suspected cancer risk of beef.

Why do animals have to suffer for our meat supply?
“As long as there are slaughter houses there will always be battlefields.”
― Leo Tolstoy
(The quote sounds batter in other languages, since battlefields are "slaughter fields")
Best, Beijinger, not a vegetarian
- silon42 2y agoMy dad preferably (to meat) eats cartilage, collagene, etc... off the bones (using a knife)... his dog then eats whatever is left. Anyone working on that?

- CuriouslyC 2y agoAnimals are part of this thing called the cycle of life that has been going on since near the beginning of the earth and will go on long after humanity has faded to dust. Being eaten is normal, it's part of how ecosystems are regulated, and everything dies anyhow so why not be a meal on the way out so that something else can live. If you want to direct your rage somewhere, direct it at the people who force these animals into concentration camp like environments to maximize production. That's the true evil, not eating meat.
- Beijinger 2y agoTrue, but I hoped we could become more than animals in the future.
- dotancohen 2y agoWhy? I like food and sex and raising my children. I _am_ an animal, even if I have mastered fire and language and agriculture.
- Beijinger 2y agoWell, what has this to do with killing animals? How did someone say? To kill someone, cut off his head and build a nice vase out of it is called culture. To have to go to prison for it is called civilization. Besides that, raising animals for meat is terrible energy inefficient.
- dotancohen 2y agoThere is quite the difference between slaughtering an animal for food, and murder. Do you disagree?
- ben_w 2y agoGiven the existence of delicious foods not made of meat, the difference is one of law, and of which of the major world religions' ethical norms you follow.
- dotancohen 2y agoWell now that you've clearly stated that this is a religious issue for you, I see little opportunity in actually having a protective conversation. Have a great day.
- ben_w 2y ago> for you No, not for me, for Bhuddists (I think they regard all life as sacred), and (depending on the animal and if mere prohibition rather than the justification for that prohibition is important) Jews, Muslims, and Hindus. Hence saying "which".
