Lab meat though. I’m struggling to understand this. Unless the meat industry shuts down most people aren’t going to eat lab meat. And like you said it doesn’t offer a good enough reason to switch for most people. Some people might switch but it will have no impact on the meat supply chain.
There’s a pretty large amount of people who are vaguely uncomfortable with the animal cruelty in the meat and dairy industries but can’t get over themselves to completely change their diet to a plant-based one.
I also expect lab grown meat to be both cheaper and more environmentally friendly once the technology is more advanced and mature. It doesn’t really make sense to compare an immature technology like this to conventional food right now.
