    The thing I can never get behind is that this is always used as an argument for new technologies instead of returning to lower tech, pre-industrial solutions that are already well established and known to be safer.

      The problem with this is lifestyle inflation.

      Pre-industrial technologies will only get us pre-industrial amounts of meat, which has to be split between the current population.

      There’s a lot of people who probably won’t be very happy with only being able to afford meat once or twice a week. That seems like a surefire way to trigger a backlash.
