    I feel like I don't hear much news about the latest happenings about lab-grown meat. Is this actually something that seems legit to have at scale across the world within that time frame, or is this just something that's gonna be promised regularly for decades and always behind schedule? I feel like that shit happens all the time with technological advancements, idk.

    Also, the promise of lab-grown meat should not preclude someone who wants to make more ethical choices from going vegan. Tbh, I've seen so many comments over the years from people who seem reachable who concede that they want to make more ethical choices, but then follow that up with "but I'll just wait for lab-grown meat", and that's a real bummer.

    However, I still very much welcome lab-grown meat because it would be vastly more ethical than real meat and hopefully get rid of the scourge of animal agriculture/factory farming for good.

      i mean yeah i dont hate on people that are vegan, its just in order to make society vegan you are gonna have to do a huge material push and if you have alternatives that makes it far easier. im not vegan myself but 85% of the time i functionally am vegan due to ptsd and anxiety making me rely on prefab meal replacement shakes which tend to be vegan. other times its usually like, milk or eggs or beans or something cheap like that because im not the richest. cooking just really takes it out of me.

      and of course relying on individual decisions to end an industry has never worked ever. and neither has a fully vegan society existed, not that it precludes it. if vegan meal replacement shakes didnt exist id be mostly drinking milk. its a material thing for me.
