I'm grateful Gates and others are funding meat alternatives. He briefly touched on the ethical issues (by proxy), but we hardly ever do here on HN. I remember in 2011 Zuckerberg resolved to only eat meat that he killed himself. I think more people ought to try that. I know I wouldn't be able to hunt and slaughter my own food, and I respect people that do much more than the status quo of outsourcing animal murder.
It's pretty hypocritical of this society to elect ~4 species of animals that we endorse killing. But we think about eating dog or dolphin and rageface.

- gadders 11y agoI invited my 93 year old gran to a barbecue (she's 97 now) and asked her if there is anything she doesn't eat or wouldn't like. Gran: Whale meat Me: Er, OK. I can do that. Gran: We had it during the war on rationing. You didn't know if you were eating meaty fish or fishy meat.
