It’s actually really easy to just not eat meat. Just don’t. That’s all you have to do.

There are over 8 billion people on Earth, and most of them are not living near grocery stories that have protein alternatives and they view meat-eating as culture, as family connection, as celebration and deep roots through community so you're not going to change them. I would love if our world went vegan and we all became bean-eating human beans, but that day is sadly a long, long way off so I advocate for cultured meat because our species is nowhere close to what we hope it could be.

Realistically, we're going to be eating every last bug and sea cucumber and coral polyp when we've eaten everything else we can before we switch to alternatives.

Not a single vegan eats "protein alternatives". We just eat protein.
