    Exactly. And subsidizing vat grown meat is a great way to supercharge those efforts.

    But it’s also has a lot of people outing their true intentions. A lot of folks who claimed they advocated for meatless diets for environmental reasons still oppose vat grown meat. Because really they just want to force their preference on others.

      If nobody lessened their consumption habits and just switched to “vat grown meat”, that would not solve the core of the problem. While less resource intensive than farm grown meat, it’s still resource intensive.

      As I said before, it can exist to fill the voids left by other solutions, but it is not a solution in and of itself. For this reason it should not be the priority as the priority should be on growing/promoting other less intensive alternatives and lessening consumption itself.

        The type of resources matters. Not using the same amount of land and grain needed for living animals is a significant impact.
