My biggest concern about artificial meat is what it will do to ranch lands which today feed cattle. For one, ranchers will go out of business, and two, grazing animals are actually critical to keeping grasslands healthy. If there is no one raising grazing animals, it could lead to more desertification of grasslands.
My biggest concern is it will open the door in the future for artificial meat which is ‘good enough’ for the plebs and a ban on meat since ‘nobody needs to eat it anymore.
If you don’t know dairies across this country are already going out of business, downsizing, consolidating and their milk cows being slaughtered. Dean’s Food has gone bankrupt and Mayfield Dairy here in Georgia in Braselton is shutting down.
This is because consumers are shifting their consumption habits from milk to other products like soy milk, almond milk, cashew milk.
