Is the only argument against lab-grown meat that it disrupts an existing industry? Because I’ve yet to hear a legitimate reason why this is a bad idea.
I don't think it's a reason to not go ahead with it either but then again it's not too far off from the similar argument about replacing actors/knowledge workers with AI or factory workers/truck drivers with automation. It is true that while it may provide better and even cheaper product it does also come with a loss of work for ton of people.
It also comes without a loss of life for animals.
The same people losing their minds over GMO crops are embracing labgrown meat. Why would you trust this? It's the ultimate processed food.
I’m for GMOs and lab meat.
No its not ffs
Wow, compelling argument.
At the same level as yours.
Instead of useless hostile replies, people should have just informed you that you're likely confusing plant-based meat alternatives like impossible Burger with lab grown meat. Lab grown meat is still meat and it's not processed from a bunch of ingredients it's grown, just not on an animal. I'm sorry lemmy is so toxic. People should be allowed to not know everything, I think.
I think you're allowed to "not know everything" in most places. Usually, the issue comes when you make a factually-incorrect or demonstrably-false statement with no explanation to back it up. I typically only see downvotes when a comment is made with undeserved confidence and/or exudes a sense of arrogance.
