    meat production is intrinsically wasteful. There are way more calories getting into factory farms than out.

      And yet still more efficient than lab grown meat. More steel goes into a factory than is in the parts coming out too, doesn’t mean we shut down the factories.

        why on earth compare it to lab grown meat? environmentally wise meat is always worse than plant based alternatives. not to mention it also is health wise and ethics wise.
