Lab-Grown Meat. Potentially revolutionary impact on reduction of animal suffering and climate change.



I think before lab meat, we're going to see an explosion in both volume and diversity of plant-based meats. Discount chains in Europe and NA are jumping on the bandwagon and creating all sorts of plant-based products and bringing the price way down - already cheaper than meat sometimes. Plant-based raw materials are the cheapest, we just need to improve processes and scale up. And unless governments increase meat subsidies even more, it's likely that meat, specially beef becomes too expensive for some people to eat regularly in the next 10 years.


Plant based raw materials are often cheapest, but unfortunately the plant based meats are often far from being raw material and are highly processed. Expensive too.


I came here to say that.
