Most 'meat' in 2040 will not come from dead animals, says report
- Thread starter Sqrt
- Start date
I'm all for lab meat but I'm going to miss picking the meat from the bone. A whole cooked chicken is my favourite depression food.
Beyond the fact that whale populations are already dwindling enough as it is?
For burgers it's less of an issue. I had a seitan steak once and it was like eating compressed sand.
Sure, but we also thought this about climate change tech as well. The awful truth about us is that the majority will choose convenience over other factors, even price.
Oh wow that sounds fucking awful. I have never tried imitation steak. Just the burgers and the sausages. Will definitely steer clear of it though.
Have you seen how meat is made? Because lol if you think that is better than something created in a lab.
sure have. still would rather have that over some lab shit.
I think real meat slaughter will still exist for a long time and it should
Just need to get rid of the terrible inhumane shortcuts and abuses that are committed with mass production
Im all for small scale farms that can treat animals with care and slaughter humanely.
Yeah. Steak has a really important consistency to it that I just don't think bean-based substitutes can ever replicate.
Yeah, that was my first thought. We'll still have to do this, and I'm wondering if - instead of eating the meat myself - how much of a pretty petty I can get for it when only the rich are eating "real" meat.
Not doubting it but it's crazy to think you've never had meat. Not even as a kid? Your parents made you a vegetarian before you made the conscience choice of being one?
Of course, there will definitely be a market for "real" meat in 2040. Just look how many people today are terrified of anything "artificial," buy "organic," shriek with terror at anything GMO, are horrified of "chemicals," etc.
Lab grown meat sounds way more terrifying than anything they are afraid of.

Got no problems with lab grown meat, as long as it doesn't have some fucked up biproducts of the creation process.
Most meat consumption is such a mechanized, industrialized, chemicalized process anyway.
For people who don't eat meat for religious reasons, like ~30% of Indians (which is about the population of the United States), this is pretty common.

Your parents made you eat animals, which you probably loved and would have been horrified to see get harmed, before you had the conscious choice. Besides, parents make choices for their kids on everything all the time.
It's good that more ethical choices are becoming more available. I just wish more of them were available where I live.
Yes, my parents raised me from birth as a vegetarian.
Remember, no baby makes a conscious choice about their diet. Your parents chose for you to be a carnivore, it wasn't your choice.
Edit: Cheesecakebobby beat me to it.
My parents and I are atheists so not a religious thing for me, though I know it is for some people of course.
