"Climate-friendly" beef could land in a meat aisle near you. Don’t fall for it. | Tyson Foods and the federal government refuse to show their math for a new sustainability label. (www.vox.com)

I’ve got this weird disease where my body can’t process fruits or veg, only meat, rice, pasta, and dairy.

I’m so excited for sustainable, lab-grown meat, I can’t even tell you. Living on rice and pasta alone sucks (even with dietary supplements), so I can’t ditch animal products.

They keep promising it, but every related headline is this bullshit. Hey corporate meat scientists: stop trying to make animal farming a thing in the future and start growing cloned steaks, please.

I'm vegan, and I hope lab grown gets so cheap for people like you that just want to taste some meat without the suffering. I may want to tray it form time to time, I'm not even half done exploring the recipes of the world.

It would be so great. We could even have delicacies that are super unethical now, all cloned from a totally uninvasive cell sample that the host animal doesn’t even notice. I’d probably even try Soylent Green if it was sustainable and uninvasive (lol).

We could even make new meats or clone extinct animal tissues. I’d absolutely try mammoth steak. If we have the technology (I think we do), we could even bring back extinct species of plants. I’d love to taste the banana we ate to extinction like 500 years ago that apparently tasted better than any banana alive today.

I get desperate cravings for shellfish after a while without non-legume proteins. Worldwide shellfish capture practices are abhorrent. Clone me shellfish and I’ll be happy forever.

e: sorry, I can’t eat much and I miss food. I got a bit triggered there and went off. Apologies for tmi.
