    Assuming it will someday no longer require harvesting animal cells to produced, I personally look forward to ethical cat food bay-bee! :cat-vibing:

    That said, I do not think it will replace 'real' meat until capitalists have stripped earth's resources to the point where it's impossible to farm livestock. Capitalists do not 'transition' markets, they only expand them.

    Realistically, I have serious concerns that this will be another avenue to breed, farm, and harvest 'products' from the bodies of animals, reducing our perspective of them even further from living beings past steak/bacon/nugget and reduced alllll the way down to 'cell banks'.

        I think that maybe her point was that the increasing demand for vegetarian "meat" doesn't decrease demand for real meat. Eventually they will have to transition because the current market production is unsustainable, but they won't do it because it is the right thing to do, they'll do it because meat production becomes unprofitable.

          Oh, I thought she meant that, like, they just won't ever transition for any reason out of spite or something lol
