As a further elaboration: growing up, I absolutely hated pasta salad. I could not and would not eat it. But one day, when I was about 22-23, I was working somewhere that includes meals, since shifts were literally all day for a week (save eight hours for sleeping). The cook made a pasta salad that I could only describe as “orgasmic.” I ate that same pasta salad for every meal for the next two days until they finally tossed the leftovers. Ever since then, I have been “converted” to enjoy pasta salad. That one dish completely changed how my body reacts to a food that I already tried several times.
I don’t like steaks because you have to kill an animal to make one. Can you make a steak the way I like it?
You’d rather we cut the steaks off of a still living animal? Seems kind of cruel.
I think you’re lost, bud, this ain’t twitter.
Yeah. I’m not vegetarian but converting people to eating meat isn’t really something to be proud of.
Not yet, but we’re getting pretty close. Cultured tissue plus 3d bioprinters will be able to give you a genuine steak which never involves a conscious animal, probably in the next 5 years or so. Maybe sooner.
Places making cultured meat are shutting down because they don’t get funding and they can’t get permission to sell the stuff.
Companies aren’t tech. Regulations change, new funding comes through. Eventually it’s gonna be cheaper to cultivate meat than farm it.
That’s a shame, I was really looking forward to eating clone meat.
I say we ban animal meat, and let the capitalists satisfy the demand by funding lab meat!
