On: Lab meat to transform meat industry in 2021

[icebraining]

we only eat meat because most of us haven't seen how animals are kept, what they're fed, and how they're slaughtered

This is often said, but I doubt it very much. I think it should be shown to everyone (including in school), and it would probably lead to some positive changes, but I doubt it would significantly reduce the number of meat eaters. We can look at the people working in the industry: are they all morally deficient or desperate for work? Not as far as I know.

Whenever I watch documentaries about the food industry, I find myself unable to eat meat for at least 10 days.

I bet that if we were reminded somehow (like for cigarettes), lots of people will eat a lot less meat.
