    The more we R&D fake meats, plant based or lab grown, the sooner we can achieve this

        Just one more new plant protein bro, then I’ll switch. For real this time bro, just one more fake meat, it’s the only thing preventing me from going vegan bro. Trust me.

          If we get good at making it, it will be cheaper than animal meat, and that will get people’s attention

            Protein isn’t a thing that humans need to be concerned with. If you are getting enough calories from whole plants, you are automatically getting enough protein. This whole thing is a distraction from animal mercy; you’re intentionally concentrating on all the wrong things so you don’t have to deal with the right ones.

            It’s still cheaper for me to get a pepperoni pizza than one without. The raw material cost of the meat isn’t always that significant especially when distributors get involved.

          They would if they gave a single shit about the atrocity they committed. They would in an INSTANT. Source: the personal history of every fucking vegan I know

      God no. Lab grown meat to compete with the normal meat will have to be cheaper than it. See how the capitalist leeches enshittified every other food (like meat), imagine how will they enshittify something that has to be cheaper…

      Bullshit. If people are not willing to change now, fake meat isn’t going to change their mind. They are literally committing ATROCITY. Because they are unwilling to change or examine themselves. Until that is addressed, there is no amount of consumerist bullshit that will solve the problem. “Lab meats will save us!” is the same vibes as buying a gym membership because you’re concerned about your health and then never going.
