    honestly the fact that we have artificial meats that are almost as good as proper meat, we should be switching entirely. we are creating and torturing trillions of souls simply so mcdonals can have burgers

      I’m down. I eat almost zero meat already, but I’ve never tasted an alternative that tastes like meat yet. Hopefully lab grown is available and affordable soon.

        I’ve been a meat eater my whole life, and a well made impossible burger is pretty damn close. There’s nothing “not meat-y” about it like I’ve experienced with beyond meat. I even use it to make my biscuits and gravy now because I can’t tell the difference at all in that.

      Alternative vegetable based “meats” have a huge amount of preservatives, emulsifiers, binders, and other nasty chemicals. Artificial meat is literally cancer enduced muscle cells grown in a vat of antibiotics.

      If you don’t want meat or feel morally bound to not consume meat, just be a vegetarian or vegan. The “alternatives” are disgusting.
