Because we want to successfully feed everyone a nutritious meal? Also, I don't want to be a pale, barely functional skeleton. Consuming less meat, sure. But also remember that not every country is the US where meat consumption is as idiotic as every other form of consumption there. Meat consumption in China is like less than half of what it is in the states.
i eat like a normal czech person, we eat like, potatoes and chicken and lots of fuckin berries. like a bowl of berries a day, its habitual to have a ton of berry bushes in your back yard. i also have medical issues that make a lot of non-fruit plants inedible for me. restricting my diet further is dangerous on many levels. if this tech figures out chicken cell reproduction (or any meat really) and sells it at the same price as other meats, i'd be functionally a vegan. and a lot of countries would be like that too. most places eat chicken in high quantities. solve that one meat and so much of the meat industry collapses.
And you'd rather rely on fantasy technology that we will hypothetically have in the future than simple agriculture that we've had for thousands of years? That's idealism, it's silly. Stop being silly.
fantasy? are you living under a rock? companies are already selling this to restaurants. the problem right now is one of scale. you can buy these vegan meat dishes for like 25 bucks for a small portion. another issue is that the methods arent approved by the USDA yet, but in hong kong and singapore its already approved and available in many restaurants.

Why do you falsely believe you can't do that with plants?
the key words here are 'successfully' and 'everyone'.

Nowhere did I claim such a thing.
