Just throwing it out there, Sport :)

I know, just being a smartass.

Vegan joke: How do you know if someone is a vegan? Don't worry, they'll tell you :lol:

I eat meat, as well as those substitutes. None of them satisfy meat cravings!

I'll pay that one. Keep in mind, that's the douchebag Vegans

As far as I know lab grown meat still really struggles to produce the sort of fat within the meat that gives it the flavour/authenticity people want. It's been a year or two since I read about it. I'd be willing to try it but not pay the $300,000 a hamburger would still cost aha

I guess whether they get it right in the end will come down to whether people are willing to eat it and how much it costs to produce comparatively to farming

Don't have any offhand, but Joel Salatin is a good resource for sustainable farming and Mathew Lalonde has done extensive works on desertification.

Even then, you'd still have to use the land for sustainable farming.

Turns out you need land to farm.

Someone get this bloke a MENSA membership.

Cost of lab-grown burger patty drops from $325,000 to $11.36

Yeah it's definitely going to happen one day and like the articles says not for decades. Pretty amazing tech though.

Shoot me some links one day

Here's a quick snippet on the kind of work Salatin does.

Mat Lalonde is a bit harder to find links for because he's bit of an autist genius who lectures at Harvard and leaves a lot vague whilst being certain in his conclusions.

I can't find the exact paper he wrote about desertification.

My wife is Vegan. She thought about it for years, did her research and slowly transitioned to a vegan lifestyle. In my opinion it is the best healthy lifestyle diet to be on, reducing many of the leading causes of early death.
