        Downvote if you want but at least educate me on why I’m wrong on facepalming. I’m serious. I love a good discussion.

          I think people are downvoting because a simple facepalm emoji is considered a low effort comment. If there’s no substance to your comment, better not to comment at all.

            Fair point. My intent was to encourage discussion and it was my mistake that an emoji would facilitate more discussion. Lesson learned 🤦🏻‍♂️

            Okay. My point is that methane (from cow farts) is a significant source of greenhouse gasses. If we can get high quality food without ruining the planet or the enjoyment of food then why shouldn’t we go for it?

      We’ve been evolving with the times for quite a while. Maybe change for the sake of change isn’t exactly the right thing either.

      Lab grown food, sold to you by the same system who sold you intensive farming.

        How is lab grown meat change for the sake of change? There’s obvious benefits to it: no more need to breed beings just to eat them, less resource-intensive, frees up land, and I might be missing others

          Is it really sustainable ? I’m just not sure it’s a viable alternative to eating less meat and farming with sustainable and regenerative practices.
