As someone whose whole career has been based on animal products, and whose whole livelihood still depends on it, I hope that this catches on, becomes mainstream and we can get rid of factory farming.

Sounds like not much, but it actually has a relativly big impact 25-30% of meat is used for cat and dog food in the US.Obviously the UK is going to be different, but it is a still going to be a asizeable portion.

Creepy how folk shill for more control by man over nature and our ecosystems. That has been so great for the planet.
To generate organic material will still take significant energy and materials, probably not much less than standard practice unless you’re looking at corporate funded research.
This feels like hijacking climate with a trojan horse for GM tech. “Now you like and eat your lab grown meat, how about, better yield, less disease. Let’s just flick these switches and change it. Oh BTW, this tech is proven and great to generate organs and flawless offspring”. Corpate entities gonna do everything to extract profit and do not care about the implications.
No, no and no.

Even if the footprint was about the same, it would still be less animal suffering. And I’m sure the process could be optimized further. But sure buddy, all things not “natural” are creepy. Maybe trash that computer you’re using to write this comment while you’re at it and go live in a cave again.

Ah, a classic Luddite ad hominem. Show’s how weak your argument is.
So for you, this isn’t about climate, but animals? Are you an environmentalist or a vegan using climate to push vegan goals?

I see you’re even more delusional as your initial comment hinted at. Enjoy your essential oils.

Lol, I hit the nail on the head it seems.

No, you hit your head somewhere too often it seems. Delusional mental gymnastics.
