For the vast vast majority of people eating corpses is not a medical necessity or vital cultural ritual or something, (and no i dont consider just really liking the taste of flesh to be a cultural neccessity). Yes i’ve tried two of the lab grown meat brands out of curiosity (i think the first was beyond burger and the second one was an impossible burger) and both were simultaneously more expensive than the standard vegan/vegetarian and even the normal meat based versions of the food and tasted worse.
Like i dont think that consuming lab grown meat is evil or anything but I do think theres a lot of people who focus on lab grown meat being too expensive as an excuse for why they’re not vegan/vegetarian when its actually pretty mid, like i know a ton of vegans and i cant think of a single one who regularly eats lab meat, most have tried it a few times but no one really likes it too much
Beyond meat and impossible burger is not lab grown meat. Lab grown meat is using stem cells to grow real meat, just not using an animal but in some other way. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultured_meat
oh ok, i stand corrected on that. the point still remains though that i dont see why people need to wait for lab grown meat to become affordable to just stop eating meat, when imo, even when its cheap enough it still wont be very good outside of certain things like burgers and sausages because of the texture (i.e. not being able to mimic how the fat feels when in between the flesh) not being able to match up to the original.
and even when it does enter the market it will probably only be available for like for upper middle class people for years and years
I get your point and I’m all for vegan diets. but it just won’t happen unless meat gets taxed like crazy worldwide. And even before that there will be armed riots if you take away meat from certain demographics. Just look at people going completely nuts once you mention we could introduce one veggie day per week.
I just don’t see it. That’s just how we humans behave…
No it’s not. You have no idea how important consuming meat is for some demographics. For some it’s a lifestyle for others it’s without alternative.
Of course LGM has to become cheaper than regular meat before it’s an alternative.
How do you know it tastes like rubbish? Have you tried it?
