Nothing lives but that something else dies. That’s the underpinning principle of the Carbon Cycle. Pretending you exist outside of the carbon cycle is delusional.
KING CLAUDIUS:
Now, Hamlet, where’s Polonius?
HAMLET:
At supper.
KING CLAUDIUS:
At supper! where?
HAMLET:
Not where he eats, but where he is eaten: a certain
convocation of politic worms are e’en at him. Your
worm is your only emperor for diet: we fat all
creatures else to fat us, and we fat ourselves for
maggots: your fat king and your lean beggar is but
variable service, two dishes, but to one table:
that’s the end.
KING CLAUDIUS:
Alas, alas!
HAMLET:
A man may fish with the worm that hath eat of a
king, and cat of the fish that hath fed of that worm.
KING CLAUDIUS:
What dost you mean by this?
HAMLET:
Nothing but to show you how a king may go a
progress through the guts of a beggar.
LOL!
They are weak humans and do not appreciate proper Klingon cuisine.
Nice!
We also live in a day where folks want to merge technology with the human body to recodify or reprogram our DNA to be disease free.
That along with growing body parts and organs in rats and pigs to be used for future transplants.
How about head transplants?
No Richard we won’t
It's the same with all animals that we eat. I would wager that many species would become extinct.

How do you think all the meat got in the freezer, Branson?
Nothing worse than an ex-smoker or ex-meat eater and newly converted vegan, harping on us about what the rest of us should do.
What's this guy think going to happen? We all end up eating animals alive because it'll be too "archaic" to kill them?
If you don't kill the animal to eat it, then you either don't eat it or you eat it alive. We all need protein. Meat is protein. Animals are meat. Starting to connect the dots now are we, Branson?
Some people are too smart for their own good. BTW, isn't this the numb-skull that stayed on his private island during the big hurricane and it destroyed the whole thing?
So much for good judgment either.
Eating, breathing and drinking are archaic.
Nature made homo sapiens omnivorous, and didn't bother to explain why
Just more proof that "smart and "wise" are not synonymous...
Got it.
Forests hate CO2...
That sounds exactly like the medieval system:
A Lord (Earl, Baron, Duke etc) owns all the land and the animals on it.
Most of the crops grown are for the financial benefit of the Lord and the peasants are left to subsist, without the benefit of hunting for food.
All that was old is new again. And they say history does not repeat itself; my @ss!
In the Year 2525... if man is still alive....
Eventually, yes. Livestock rearing is an inefficient method of protein production. A long time in the future, the cost of factory produced genetically equivalent ‘meat’ will be below that of traditionally raised livestock. Then, the factory raised ‘meat’ will displace traditional livestock but long after we are gone.
Branson gave up meat in 2014? His brain is not getting enough protein. He has deliberately made himself stupid. How dumb is that?
“It’s free of antibiotics, dangerous bacteria, and growth-promoting hormones.”
The locally raised, grass fed free range meat available at the butcher’s counter at the grocery store in the county seat 20 miles away town is all that-and it isn’t lab manufactured frankenfood, either...
I don’t even eat processed food, feedlot meat or veggies from factory farms-I’m certainly not going to eat any artificial food made in a lab...
I’d guess that stuff is only going to be popular with the rich elites who think it is cool to eat s*** like that...
“Tube Steak Boogie.”
Free beer for the first correct answer.

I have no intention of ever giving up eating meat, but if they can get vat-grown meat cloned from animal cells to taste as good and cost about the same as slaughtered meat, I’ll gladly but it and eat it.
