Once slaughter-free meat is a thing, I’ll never go back.

Nah. Lab-grown meats.

This is easier said than done... Cultivating meat for mass consumption is an incredibly difficult and complex task, that by most estimates, likely won't end up economically viable enough to replace factory-farmed meat.

Well, one industry is heavily subsidised and the other is still working out the kinks.

What about brain dead chickens grown it bags fed with a nutrient solution and hung on racks like a laundromat? If they’re all brain dead they don’t feel or know a thing.

If people can get shitty about women having the choice to bodily autonomy over a clump of cells, you can be there will be a group of people who will claim that your idea is still wrong.

Might as well just invest in lab grown meat, and do away with large multi hectare farms all together. You can appease your conscious and the world will be less tonnes of CO2.

Manufacturing meat in the way that I laid out would definitely be more environmentally friendly in the long run. I'm not opposed to meat grown in large cell cultures either, I just have doubts that researchers will be able to replicate the taste and texture of an actual muscle from an animal.

A lot of the flavor and texture comes from the life experience of the animal. That's why game meat taste so different from domestic animals. I'm all for any environmental improvements but these lengths are wild to maintain current levels of meat consumptions. Like meat is an important part of our omnivorous diet in a lot of ways but this and lab grown is just seems so extreme.

if you're not offended by your own imagery you might be lacking humanity

Just wanted to raise the scenario. It's something that people are actually working on. It is a bit of nightmare fuel yes, but definitely less cruel than factory farms. I understand how the imagery can make people squeamish, but most people have never butchered and plucked a chicken before or dressed a dear. They just buy their meat in a nice neat little package from the store and don't really want to know more than that.

Honest question, what about bugs....like roaches. Do you have an issue killing them in your house? Ive wondered this about vegans...if you are a vegan that is.

I wont argue im just curious.

Thanks for the question. I think it all comes down to the crawlie itself. Insects and arachnids that are generally beneficial - bees, grasshoppers, crickets, wolf and other garden spiders - will be relocated; ones that could potentially harm me or my family - hornets, mosquitoes, brown recluse spiders - will get skooshed.
