Not really sure what to put here…I usually put relevant excerpts, but that got this post deleted for doing that

    Seeing other’s flesh as food is the problem…

      Because humans are omnivores, “the flesh of others” is quite literally food for us. Wood, the flesh of trees, is food for fungus. Everything eats something, and you’re on one hell of a superiority binge if you think animals are any more deserving of mercy than plants. Plants can perceive (and communicate!) when they experience damage. What’s your floor for intelligence before being allowed to eat something?

        It’s quite amazing that you are one of the only people in the thread to acknowledge this. We are part of nature.

            Just wanted to say that I think lab grown meat is a bit of a white elephant. Dose it scale, what are the inputs, etc…

            It might be viable, but it’s hard to believe anything about it with all the grassroots shills online. VC money is all over this. It’s just another product.

            I’m not sure that’s the solution.

        Humans are edible, do you look at other humans and think food?
