There's nothing in this article about "not eating meat". The whole point is that meat can be grown in the lab, so you can eat it all you like then.
Meat comes from animals who have pretty miserable lives up until death in the modern factory farm. and then the environmental stress from feeding and transporting livestock is huge. And the protein health benefits comes with some warnings not to eat too much meat! Raw meat is dangerous too, causes much sickness annually. Left over chicken, oops don't touch that.
Tastes great though, so let's grow the world's meat in big vats and the cow can have a well earned vacation. Fair?

One of big problems the group will tackle is how — simply put — to get people to eat less meat." That said, it's true that meat production (beef at least) is a very inefficient use of arable land, in terms of nutrition per acre. Curse their tasty hides.
- exodust 14y agoYes you're right, I missed that bit. Quite interesting that "butchers, farmers, and food industry executives" would be tackling the "problem" of getting people to eat less meat! Perhaps they are vegetarian butchers.
