I’ll bet PETA will come out against this too because they’re idiots.

I suspect they will demand it be made from human cells.

Yes. Besides being an omnivore, I ️ Animal Testing.

Particularly transgenic mice, ferrets, and non-human primates that express the SERPINA1 gene.

George K's daughter is buying makeup at the grocery store.

Girl in grocery store: "You know, they do animal testing with that makeup."

George K: "Gee, I hope so! Better some bunny's ass than my daughter's face!"

George K's Daughter: "Daaaad!"

If we aren't going to eat them, there will no longer be a need for the raised for food animals.

They will slowly go extinct.

Then there will be no need for PETA.

There's @Copper , taking the long view.

That’s an ethical question I always pose to these types. Because of humans eating meat, there are billions more cows and chickens and pigs in the world than there would otherwise be. Do their lives have positive or negative net value (to themselves)? If positive, isn’t human consumption ultimately a good thing?

Oh, and a cow in the wild (if that even makes sense) wouldn’t die of cancer surrounded by family. It would get eaten by a predator at some point. So it’s not the case that the mere fact that we kill them makes their lives unworthy of living.

Apex predator. Works as designed.

The more we try to get past the natural order the worse off we become.

I'm wrong, they're actually taking credit for it.

But it’s the salty tears of their anguish that flavors the meat and makes them so yummy!
