In this guest post, we find that lab-grown meat should not be considered a Climate Change solution. Based on industry-funded studies it will never achieve the economies of scale needed to make a reasonable dent in our meat consumption.
I resent the attitude that just because it won’t save our bacon, we shouldn’t work to reduce or (gasp!) eliminate as much non-human suffering that is driven by human consumption as is possible. Not to mention the benefits it would have for food security and easing actual human suffering. Such a simultaneously provincial and technocratic/elitist position to take that demonstrates what a bunch of bastards we humans are. Sheesh!
