Legislators there and in several other states want to restrict the manufacture or sale of meat made in a laboratory, even though it barely exists. The space industry disagrees.

Supporters include environmentalists who say it would reduce animal cruelty and potentially help slow climate change. Meat and dairy together account for about 14.5 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, according to the United Nations.

    I do. Not for myself, but we all know that there are many people who would never give up meat. So for them.

      No way. Its a generational issue. Make schools meat free and apply a 200% tax on things that are causing the climate catastrophe (at least including carbon & meat), and in 2 generations you’ll see most people gave up meat.

      There’s nothing to miss, people just need to experience it for some years. When people realize the bean burger is just as good and 20x cheaper than the cow burger, they’ll order it every time

        Sounds solid. Now come up with a way to implement this without causing riots.

          I find that seasoning my food makes it taste amazing.

          Try it sometime.

          Case and point. If this person was fed delicious plant-baeed foods for 12 years in school, they wouldn’t make such absurd statements

          Its a generational issue that will be solved by increasing the costs of meat and removing meat from school cafeterias

            They can’t even make meat taste good in a lot of school cafeterias. What makes you think the plant-based foods will be delicious instead of glop out of a can from the lowest bidder on the food contract?

            Most of Iranian food consists of rice and vegetables in stew with meat lmao but I still definitely wouldn’t give up meat. I don’t consume an awful lot already it’s not too much to ask for some fucking meat

            We also didn’t have school cafeterias.

            Poor, you, mind your own business, and we can mind our own, and nobody can make laws about what other people can eat

              Ever heard of laws outlawing dog or cow or goose liver? Yeah, there are plenty of countries that have established laws about what people can eat.

                Yeah, I don’t agree with that.

                That’s why I said you leave us alone we leave you alone, and everyone does their own thing.

                No one tells anyone else want to eat.

                Totally down for lab grown meat though, don’t get me wrong, if they can get the price down reasonable I am fucking in.

                Hell, if they can match quality and price, I would probably never buy real meat again

                The climate can do whatever it fucking like. It could be perfect and i we pulled still be eating less meat than I want because of the price.

                I don’t believe that the deer in the freezer is affecting the climate though, so I’m gonna go ahead and keep on not caring
