As a thinking experiment, let us consider that on the 1st of January of 2025 it is announced that an advance making possible growing any kind of animal tissue in laboratory conditions as been achieved and that it is possible to scale it in order to achieve industrial grade production level.

There is no limit on which animal tissues can be grown, so, any species is achieveable, only being needed a small cell sample from an animal to start production, and the cultivated tissues are safe for consumption.

There won’t be any perceiveable price change to the end consummer, as the growing is a complex and labour intensive process, requiring specialized equipments and personnel.

Would you change to this new diet option?

    Cutting down on eating meat is as good as going vegan

    Villianising anyone and everyone who even so much as touches a chicken breast is a damn blunder and totally puts me off against the community

    Then again, most vegans that are decent wouldn’t be pushy and tell people they’re vegan

      Why would I ever cut down on meat though? It’s filling, delicious, and the reason why humans evolved intelligence in the first place.

        Because humans found similar delicious alternatives?

        I mean, it’s your choice and Europe and America heavily depend on a meat based diet with the exception of bread

          Impossible! eats a handful of popcorn and some curly fries

          No joke that is what I had for dinner tonight, I’m trying to cutback on finances.

          It’s not a flex or anything, I just find it ironic that I’m eating corn and potatoes for dinner the same day I lecture people on the internet about Veganism being bad, and I need someone to note the melancholy I’m experiencing.
