What are you talking about? The burgers are made from plants and natural ingredients, it's not "lab grown meat" did you even read the article?

Further more, if you think "fixing livestock farming practices" is easy, then you're missing the big picture issue where billions of people demand meat on their plate every day for little cost. The environmental cost of the meat industry is not on your average meat eater's mind. Is it on your mind? Doesn't sound like it if you say things like "hey just fix it hmmkay cos I loves my meat".




I read the article and made from plants and natural ingredients still requires a lab to get everything in the right state to get laboratory meat. Can you make this your kitchen with easily purchasable appliances? No. Lab produced meat. I can put a cow on my land and have meat pretty easily in a few months.

Personally, I buy a half of cow from a local farmer every year. The cow is raised in open fields that I have visited and feed an all grass diet. It comes out to $6.99 per pound.

Honestly, I don't do this to better then environment, that doesn't cross my mind in the least and probably never well, I do this because it provides better tasting meat and a better quality of life for the cow until the day of the slaughter house.

Meat is necessary to live a strong healthy life. Meat comes from an animal. Killing is necessary to eat meat. You can keep this processed food.
