    Fuck all humans for breeding to the point where meat farming is necessary. Eating animals isn’t the problem, it’s the SCALE at which we do it. Put blame where it’s due

      Factory farming is extremely cost-efficient, so I don’t think the free market would give you anything else regardless of how many people there are. Laws and environment tax would.

        Lab grown meat is more efficient, but some place are already outlawing it before it’seven available commercially… So I’m not too sure about the direction we’re going.

          It will be more efficient eventually, just not yet. The technology isn’t mature yet. But as you’ve noted, those “pro-free market” Floridians and Alabamans want to ban it, because global elites and eating bugs or something.

          Relax, even those places will turn around when it becomes commercially available and cheaper than regular meat.

          It is nothing but a political statement to draw in conservatives.

      True, humanity is a goddamn cancer I’m glad you understand

      Jokes aside, your opinion is bullshit. Meat is not a requirement it is a PREFERENCE

      You all motherfuckers know deep in your hearts that humanity can’t survive this shit without a couple billion dying off. It’d be better if those couple billion were never born.

      There’s no sustainable living without sustainable reproduction. But that’s even more taboo than everyone going vegan/vegetarian.

        Damn, Thanos! We are overpopulated, I agree. But human numbers have always (and I do mean always, as long as we’ve been able to track it) adjusted to the sustainability of their environment given all but the most dire of economic factors that might affect that. Right now, we’re seeing a rapid decline in children being born throughout the world. Just because it doesn’t happen on a particular time table doesn’t mean it’s not correcting itself.

        This. Tell people to not eat meat and hear the cries of agreement. Tell people to stop having kids and all of a sudden you’re another Hitler.
