My girlfriend is not a vegan (not even close) but detests meat. It's not just the way they are treated in industrial farming, its that these animals were once alive. She's anti-murder I guess. To each their own - I think meat is murder too but delicious delicious murder (stolen from a t-shirt slogan).
She would love to eat fake meat if it tasted as good as the real thing. I would try it too - just to reduce my iron and acidic intake from all the meat I currently eat. There's a market for this. Not just about "vegans".
- mike-cardwell 14y agoI am a meat eater, but I don't think it's a good thing. I applaud vegetarians and vegans for making a stand, but ultimately I think the only realistic solution to getting people off "real" meat are technological, industrial and political advances. Assuming we keep advancing technologically, there will come a time when "fake" meat is indistinguishable from real meat, at least as healthy, cheaper and more environmentally friendly to produce. When this happens, that is when people will start eating it en masse. When enough people have started eating it and given enough time, politics will step in to ban farming animals for food. This will take quite a while because there will be a hard core of people who want to keep farming and eating animals. I imagine this part alone will take a couple of generations.
